Watch House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ historic first speech

YouTube
@jcrabapple that’s exactly what a friend said to me last night. I was spending time with family. Now I have to watch myself, thank you
@Chimaera @jcrabapple It is a really, really good speech. I think it will be quoted in times to come. I reckon people will want to watch it more than once.
@jcrabapple I’m ready for Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries to hold strong against the Red for two years. This speech, including the alphabetical alliteration, was the treat I needed after so many vexing days.
@jcrabapple Hakeem is great. But will he and the Dems be able to accomplish anything in this house? Will they be able to do their part to save our democracy?
@jcrabapple inspiring and in stark contrast to the other party. Well done!
@jcrabapple Jefferies alpha list should become a required group chant at the start of every congressional meeting. It might serve as a better reminder of Congress's purpose than other rituals presently performed at the start of meetings.
@jcrabapple Thank you so much for posting this. I have been so disgusted with the whole process in the House that I would not have sought this out on my own. It was just the inspiration I needed.
@jcrabapple
I LOVED his speech! So good (how does he memorise a speech this long and well delivered? I couldn't do that). Fab fab quotes: the Constitution over cult; governance over gaslighting; and my partilar FAVOURITE: maturity over Maro Lago!
We believe in the peaceful transfer of power (as he gets ready to hand the gavel over. There's the proof.)
Absolutely brilliant:
"And the d in Democrat stands for deliver!" Woohoo!!
You tell 'em!!!
