Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, who will be the House Democratic leader in the next Congress, said Sunday it’s “unfortunate” that Republicans have targeted him as an election denier after he previously suggested that former President Donald Trump was “illegitimate.”

“My view of the situation has been pretty clear,” Mr. Jeffries said on ABC’s “This Week.” “I supported the certification of Donald Trump’s election.

Dude is a liar.
Some tweets are forever.
Ho hum, just another bald-faced liar who will never be held accountable. What a scumbag.
Seditious Conspirator!
Terrorist!
