Incoming Dem House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries Tells MAGA Republicans to ‘Get Lost’

In a shocking tweet, the incoming House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) had a message for MAGA Republicans, telling them to “get lost.”

The rhetoric is similar to what he said after it was determined he would be taking the position.

Jeffries declared in the tweet, “Violent insurrectionists and extreme MAGA republicans are melting down over repeated election losses.”

“So they accuse Dems of undermining democracy. Get lost,” Jeffries insisted

In response, MAGA Republicans reminded Jeffries of the way he acted after Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016.

One Twitter user told him, “Remember when you denied the 2016 election over 100 times? I sure do!”

Remember when you denied the 2016 election over 100 times? I sure do!

According to CNN, Jeffries will have time to learn a job that over the years some have come to believe only current Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) could handle.

In addition to concerns about Jeffries’ ability to count votes, members and Democratic operatives point to his lack of an extensive fundraising network, or of a political team with much experience outside of Brooklyn.

Jeffries is likely to cater more to the progressive wing of the party which could give Republicans an opportunity to capitalize, in our view and the rhetoric in his latest tweet reflects that.
