January 1, McConnell Blasts House Democrats’ New Leader: “A Past Election Denier”

Published

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1848: U.S. President James K. Polk triggers gold rush of 1849 by confirming a gold discovery in California.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) took several shots at Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the lawmaker who was recently elected to replace Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as the House Democrats’ new leader.

House Democrats unanimously elected Jeffries as their new leader on Wednesday. McConnell noted the irony of Democrats selecting a leader who previously questioned the legitimacy of the 2016 presidential election.

“It has been one of the big, unfortunate ironies of the past several years: Many of the same individuals and institutions on the political left who spent the years 2017 through 2020 yelling about the importance of norms and institutions have themselves not hesitated to undermine our institutions when they’re unhappy with a given outcome,” McConnell said in remarks from the Senate floor.

“For example, the newly elected incoming leader of the House Democrats is a past election denier who baselessly said the 2016 election was ‘illegitimate’ and suggested that we had a ‘fake’ president,” he continued, referencing Jeffries.

“He has also mounted reckless attacks on our independent judiciary and said that justices he didn’t like have ‘zero legitimacy,'” McConnell added.

Jeffries has questioned the legitimacy of Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory multiple times, including in tweets posted on his official congressional Twitter account.

  • February 2018: “The more we learn about 2016 election the more ILLEGITIMATE it becomes. America deserves to know whether we have a FAKE President in the Oval Office #RussianInterference.”
  • September 2018: “LIE (more than any administration in the history of the Republic). CHEAT (2016 election/Russian Interference). STEAL (one or two Supreme Court seats). When will Republicans put country ahead of party.”
  • September 2021: “Republicans hijacked the Judiciary by stealing two Supreme Court seats. And now they want us to respect illegitimate decisions from these people? Get lost.”
  • November 2021: “The right-wing majority on the Supreme Court is completely illegitimate.”
  • February 2022: “The Supreme Court majority has zero legitimacy. Ghosts of the confederacy are alive and well.”

    Mitchy come on out and take a swing. Won’t hear another thing from the guy in the next 2 years. Jeffries fits right into AOC and the gangs systems. He is even more left leaning than Pelosi. We will never get this right as long as we have the current election system,Period
