Hakeem Jeffries Shows He Fears Leadership As He Refuses To Answer Reporter's Questions About AOC

Posted • March 25, 2025: I’m laughing at the Democrat Party right now. The party’s refusal to coalesce around a single leader or singular message outside of ‘We hate Trump’ means several Dems are venturing out on their own. You have the ridiculous Tim Walz doing fake town halls, you have reliably ignorant Jasmine Crockett stepping out in front of every camera she can find, and then you have Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on their ‘Hooray for Marxism’ tour. AOC is drawing a lot of attention from those rallies and on Monday a reporter asked House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries about her becoming the face of the party and Republicans using her as a ‘bogeyman.’ Here’s his non-answer. Hakeem Jeffries doesn’t seem to like being asked if it’s "wise to elevate AOC to a party messenger” very much. He looked a little shifty on that question…but, then again…he ALWAYS looks shifty! 😆 There you have it. The party is not going to do anything to restrain AOC.

They’re just going to let her do her thing. Her thing is pushing the party further to the left while the country is trending rightward. I’m fine with it. Commenters who vote Republican say let the Dems destroy themselves. —— Pick your poison - AOC or Jasmine Crockett. Both are getting considerable air time. I'd argue Jasmine Crockett is doing way more harm vs AOC - especially after calling for violence against Ted Cruz and vandalism against Tesla and Elon Musk. Oh, and not like Hakeem is a gift to the party either.IMO they need to clean house and start from scratch. They're doomed. —— Bernie, AOC and Jasmine are the GOP Dream Team. —— I thought Dollar Store Obama would have seized the reigns of his party but he seems content to just watch it burn. He lacks the skill to act on his feet as other posters have observed. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is really bad under pressure. 🎯 He can’t articulate a coherent response without a prepared script that he can put on auto-repeat like a robot.

He struggles mightily without a script. He was much better when he could just repeat the attacks on "MAGA extremists." —— AOC… is that the best they have? 🤣 AOC is horrible but she’s the best of the horrendous bench the Democrats have to work with. How funny is that? I can’t imagine this shrillness and warmed-over socialism appealing to most middle-class voters. Keep sending her out there. 😂 https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1904219794767032320/pu/vid/avc1/1280x720/GUZCJDBLi_dtTJyf.mp4 —— Exactly keep it going. 🤣 His answer is loud and clear because of what wasn't said. These folks know that propping AOC up as the face of the party is only going to provide cannon fodder for the right. It's glorious. 🤣 It was a good question. The answer was sorely lacking. 🤣 The reporter was right, AOC will be the gift that keeps on giving for Republicans. I expect they are already grabbing sound bites from these rallies for the midterm elections. Jeffries could put a stop to that right now, but it would require him to become a true leader of his party. Thankfully, he’s never going to do that.
