Watch: Hakeem Jeffries holds press conference | NBC News
Hi
💪💙 Proud to be on his side.
Strategic communications
He should be President he is balanced and intelligent. It’s time to move forward and figure out how to be competitive and grow the youth our future. To be able to Compete in the world market. Our strength is innovation and creating we should make our children situation safe to become the new leader. Our Intelligent Young Adults don’t trust the environment now to reproduce sooo. We need to fix it. Weeee believe it or not we all in this country together if we keep fighting each other the world will leave us behind.
“Intelligent” person of color invented algebra and that’s an understatement for sure
Posmf
I’d love this guy to be president.
Haha 😂 good one you should do standup
@@FelipeMontoya-gp2ue your sense of humour is a bit off tbh
Hakeem Jeffries is a true leader …. something Republicans do not have
😂😂🤡🤡
A true leader?…. I’m sure you don’t live in new york or if you do, you must be sleepwalking…. He is for open borders which is destroying his own city….. He lives in Brooklyn, which is so overrun. With illegal aliens you could barely walk down the street without stepping over them… He’s a leader I could do without
Stop war mongering
You must stand for the American people first. Close the borders asap. Stop sending monies overseas while you have hungry American without health care living on the streets or will be living on the streets soon
Its important that this guy gets his kickback money from all the billions going to foreign wars….
If that was true, wouldn’t you be doing his job?
Mike Johnson is a disaster. As a Republican I am ashamed of the stinky MAGA wing.
To tell u the truth Maga Republicans & Republicans are Lovers & love the Tossn of Black Virgils ☻️ Salad 🥗 in cell Block H dont drop the soap 🧼 🚿 💪
Typical lying liberal
He’ll probably have as much luck with his PRESS CONFERENCE as I had trying to gather all the Prairie Dogs in the empty lot to ask then to stop digging holes.
He is a good speaker. and would be a good Speaker of the House someday. Today, in fact. Today works for me.
I like the repeated alliterative phrases he uses. Those will get into people’s heads with enough repetition. This is good because what he is saying is factual, civil, and it’s what Democrats in general stand for as a party.
Well said.
Thanks.. I really like Jeffries so far. He gives me a sense of optimism.
this man needs to be Speaker of the House, no doubt. Tired of the Do Nothing Trumpublicans. Will be voting Democrat up and down the ballot
“Trumpublicans” 🤪
👍😅😅😅😅😅
Why would you want something like that
One could beleive that Trump Republicans would support Putin for help for Trump in the 2024 election. In order to create a Dictator govement in America. Just as Putin and Trump are seeking. BEWARE !!
We’re doomed Hakeem
I like Jeffries. He seems very calm and level headed. You have to be in order to deal with those maga idiots
Keep up the good work Jeffries
Republicans, blocking help for Ukraine to help Putin. And are waisting the meany tax dollars we have already spent in Ukraine. BEWARE of Republicans !!
Rent is at triple prices where a single person has to use their entire net income to pay a landlord. And a lot of these jobs say hiring but don’t hire experienced people. Also with the guns in the street…..how are they getting to the street to begin with? It’s not done solely from a straw purchase. Hold the manufacturing warehouse owners accountable because they are being taken by the box load right out the dock and into the hands of those in the street looking for a weapon. BRAND NEW weapons can be purchased from someone who does NOT own a gun shop!!!!
Really? Tell us more.
Hakeem Jeffries for President!!!!!! He has integrity.
You giving up on Joey Boy???
@@awall8725 first of all I’m not no boy. My name is Jhoi (pronounced like Joy) …
The Fires follow the Republican arsonist.
I tried… but could’nt stomach his dumb a$$ blah blah blah
😂
please close the border to illegal migrants
Vote Blue 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Vote Biden Harris 💙💙
🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙🙏🏽💙💙💙💙🙏🏽💙💙💙💙💙🙏🏽🇺🇸
The minority speaker is exactly right! How I wish he was the majority speaker of the House!
1980’s Republicans used to love calling everybody “Commies”…I wonder they would think about their own party today.
Jeffries lost my respect when he demanded no budget cuts to prevent the US from defaulting on debt. Anyone who runs a budget knows that if you cannot pay your bills, then you make cuts to accommodate the budget that you have to work with. Our government is living above its means and this man has no clue how to address it.
Unfortunately it’s a lot more complicated than what your comment makes it seem.
If everyone would pay taxes even small amounts for the rich this country would not have a deficit
@@dennisrose8660The rich should not have a small price on taxes to pay that’s the issue, you have wealthy people paying bare minimum of tax due to loopholes but can buy a $3 million car. It’s not fair to be honest…
@@dennisrose8660 So Elon Musk paying roughly $11 Billion a year is a small amount? We give the govt Trillions in taxes every year and they spend if foolishly. If we gave them even a small amount more, they will throw that away too. Why do you think they are pushing so hard for higher wages? Sensible people know that it will simply cause prices to rise. They govt knows that it will bring in more revenue in taxes.
@amycupps
or you increase your income. so in the case of the US, the wealthy need to pay more. it’s undeniable the middle class is carrying more than our fair share & we are getting crushed b/c no one wants to make the wealthy pay their fair share.
You know how I can tell Hakeem is lying 🤥 pay attention its when he opens his mouth
What lies is he talking about? Point some of them out…
Your source for thinking he’s lying. Google about him. Ask questions because Hakeem Jeffries is a honest man and knows what he’s speaking about always.
@@colleenbrady9675 honest hahah 😂 and I am a better basketball player than LeBron James
@@yungrom427bipartisanship haha tying it to Ukraine aid with disaster relief see he won’t say that liar. Republican extremism you mean being fiscally responsible hakeem and his pals love spending our tax payer dollars he is full of crap.
💩🤡
I have said many times my life was best until 1970 and Republicans took over for basically 50+ years. Republicans only LIE , CHEAT AND STEAL..Tax cuts for the rich, trickle down money never gets to the bottom, killing of unions that had our backs, i could go on for a long time. Democrats are not perfect but they are so much more honest tham Rich lieing Republicans that dont care about the working class that keeps us safe
I would vote for this guy for president.
Sen.Hakeen
Jefferies.👍
Kudos to you Sir.
Well Mannered, Respectful, Articulate,
Plausible and answered Qs clearly, honestly and ‘Truthfully’.
And working for his Peoples; their Welfare and Wellbeing.
(H.J. Is at the other end of the Spectrum:–
When compared to the Invective, Insulting, name calling, Whinging Trump 😡)
💙🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
(Dump Traitor Trump)
Still a con , the demorats aren’t making life better for anyone. Stop the Con games 🧐
Stop with the AI chats in the comment section 😏
Who is this ?
Boarder economy energy police woke and foreign policies.. vote them out..they have done enough
WHEN AMERICA GIVES HER WORD TO UKRAINE 🇺🇦 TO BACK THEM UP AGAINST A NATION LIKE RUSSIA 🇷🇺 INVATING THEM, AND THEN BREAKING OUR WORD MAKES THE UNITED STATES 🇺🇸 LIARS, AND A NATION THAT CAN’T BE TRUSTED TO KEEP IT’S WORD. IF THAT HAPPENS, SHAME ON THE UNITED STATES 🇺🇸 OF AMERICA 🇺🇸 👎🏿
No, just shame on those individuals that voted to not send support. Remember them when you vote.
Guy has the greatest poker face
It’s that time of year again, the mad dash to get as much gun violence in before the end of 2023.
Love his choice of words “decisive”. Looks like I am not voting for anyone come November.
vote blue or lose your country
Go Hakeem! Well said.
Jeffries is the guy who said multiple times that the 2016 election was a fraud and yet nothing has been done to him. 2 tiered justice system.
More lies from a democrat liberal
TRAITOR to ALL American Citizens. You only speak for illegal immigrants and other countries.
NO AID, AMERICA FIRST 🥇
This dude is a breath of fresh air. Concerned with the problems and looking for solutions. These are the type of leaders we need.
We are looking at a future president here.
He seems so bland. His elocution with his hands is giving me a dishonest vibe.
the people need help
he need to run for president he get my vote
LOL STUPID CRAP WOKE ..CRYING LIKE A BABY AND BLAMING EVEYRONE ELSE BUT HIMSELF FOR WHAT THEY DONE TO THIS U.S.A..DEMS ARE EVIL
he did well at hand signal school lol
Hakeem Jeffries needs to recognize the humanity of the Palestinian people and take a more even-handed approach to Gaza. He is more of s spokesman for the current Israeli government in this regard….although he may be better than Biden, who seems to have no ability to stand up to Netanyahu.
Tired of these lefty loonies always call anything that dusagrees with them extremism. Sorry but the Dems are nothing but extremists.
I really like Jeffries, but the hand gestures for the sake of hand gestures need to get under control. It’s distracting.
Overboard on the hand-gesturing..
This guys hand gestures are so overdone it detracts from his message. It’s Bill Clinton extremely exaggerated.
His dialect & speech pattern is choppy , doesn’t flow… it sounds AI/machine generated & not authentic.
Together these make it really hard to even watch. Wish he spoke like a normal person.
Wish he could better control this….in a way, it’s as uncomfortable to watch as desantis.
Please someone, coach the guy to be less robotic & more personable.
Hakeem Jeffries is a fully paid up member of AIPAC – “we must stand unequivocally with Israel” whilst it breaks international humanitarian law, withholds gas, electricity and fuel in collective punishment and has so far killed 20,000 Gazans – 60% of whom are women and children. Absolutely nothing about the 2-state solution which must be imposed, and Israel withdrawing to the 1967 Borders, just his ludicrous hand talking in that annoying staccato monotone manner.
I reminded of the old adage, ‘we are all equal but some are more equal than others,’ we all have a right to life, but some have more right than others. I pray this man, who has clearly sold his soul to the devil, is NEVER considered a suitable candidate for the US presidency.
America just needs to say to Israel do what we tell you to do, or we will shut down the 72% of the components parts in the Iron Dome we control from the Pentagon, and we will put stringent conditions on the $12 billion in aid and weapons to you in accordance with our Leahy Laws. Israel will then stop humiliating America on the world stage. The Day After means the start of an imposed 2-State solution irrespective of whether Hamas or Netanyahu agree, if they don’t they go. Netanyahu’s not going to survive another election anyway, so America doesn’t need to worry or even consult him. The longer the carnage goes on, the more America and Israel will be isolated.
Maga Republicans don’t care it make me Angry 😡 😡😡
Why is Adams getting all the blame for NYC when the fed is running trillion-dollar deficits each year? Propaganda so thick you can cut it with a knife.
Hakeem. I hope you can convince a handful of normal republicans to cross the aisle… MAGA Mike is in the pocket of Donald who I believe is in the pocket of Putin …. It’s such a scary time republicans are totally unfit to govern…. The MAGA republicans are a clear and present danger to nation security…… and world security…
