Right-Wing News Host Complains That Hakeem Jeffries isn't a "White Guy"! - Luke Beasley

[TexasTowelie]

A Newsmax host had a truly vile response to the Democratic Party's decision to choose Hakeem Jeffries as their new leader.

1. Be neat if we were choosing him as 'Speaker' ... and also if he was remotely 'far-left'

I'm not saying I necessarily WANT truly 'far-left' as the choice, but he's not even close.

7. :) Yes, it would be. He is a strong liberal, but

of course not far-left illiberal or too intransigent to be able to build winning majority coalitions through cooperation. Nancy's been our nation's most effective progressive in congress, and of course she's groomed someone who shares her values and goals to succeed her.

No doubt we'll be hearing a lot from the "illiberal far-left" over this next term as the necessary pluralistic agreements and compromises that are the essence of successful representative democracy outrage them. Bless their hearts.

2. SO FUCKING what!

Rep. Hakeem Jefferies is what the House needs in 2023 to counter what the Republicans will throw out. He will tackle each blow from them with the truth and facts. There is NO bullshitting Hakeem Jeferies. Republicans will lose.

3. Good grief.

Finally, our government is starting to look like those being governed. This “reporter” n those of his ilk will never understand that people come in all different shapes, colors n sizes. They’re scared of diversity and have no problem spewing their racism

6. If Jeffries as a black man caused that MAGA newsmax asshole's head to explode

maybe someone should tell that bigoted idiot Kathryn Clark is...wait for it..a woman and Pete Aguilar is...OMG!...Hispanic...this is who we are and it's about damn time...

4. Basically the same problem they had with Obama

5. WTF is his problem?

Did his mommy drop him on his head when he was a baby?

8. He is (gasp) not 'a white guy'?

"So...African Americans aren't real Americans, Mr. Turtleman, sir?"

...African-American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans."

What about Irish-Americans or Italian-Americans or ____-Americans?

9. He presents it backwards by accident when he says, "We knew they were not going to pick a non-white

person." Double negative reverses the meaning. He actually said, "we knew they weren't going to pick a white guy."

10. I'm so sick and tired of these effing racist troglodytes

I wish they’d go form their own island nation somewhere and leave us in peace.
