New York Attorney General Letitia James issued a stern warning to the Democratic Socialists of America on Saturday: if you challenge incoming presumptive House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries, plan to take her on, too.
“For those who live in his district and are so drunk of power to think that they’re going to run against this man, you’ve got to get past this neighborhood and Tish James,” she crowed while speaking at a Brooklyn Democratic leadership event on Saturday during the SOMOS political conference in Puerto Rico.
“We are going hard. We are going hard for our speaker,” said James to applause.
Jeffries represents the Eight Congressional District, which includes Coney Island, Bedford-Stuyvesant and other nearby parts of Brooklyn.
The AG — a former Brooklyn councilwoman — did not mention the DSA, but DSA leaders have made it no secret that Jeffries and incoming presumptive Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) are too centrist for their radical taste.
As James was speaking in Puerto Rico, the DSA hosted a rally and march through Manhattan, claiming credit over Election Day’s blue tsunami and demanding new leadership in the House and Senate if traditional Dems don’t cater to their far-left agenda.

So is James going to threaten them with prosecution for seeking to oust jeffries as speaker? Do they not have a right to put their support behind someone challenging Jeffries for the leadership position? I hope the left continues to eat its own and engage in this infighting for the next 2 years and beyond.
Well, if anyone knows about “Drunk on Power” it is Letitia James.
It’s all about the color of the skin
You’re time is coming beyotch. I’d tell you to go back to school and study Sharia law, but the muzzies wouldn’t let a woman, let alone a black woman hold any public office. What goes around, comes around.
DILIGAF?

Oh yeah, the DSA is drunk on power. What a ridiculous racist corrupt buffoon.
Hey maybe I found something to agree with the DSA about. They’re idiots, but he’s a Trump-hating idiot and also prick.
Takes one to know one. Right, Morticia? I mean, Leticia?
How cute, a little catfight over which deranged non-white victim group gets to loot Whitey
Let’s hope they eat their own.
JAMES IS “OUT OVER HER SKIS, AGAIN’.
It’s absolutely none of her business.
This will be an interesting fight to watch...
Ah, but she fully intends to make it her business.
Take a look in the mirror
