Hakeem Jeffries has surged from a relative unknown just a few years ago to rising superstar within the Democrat Party. Unofficially the 5th member of the insufferable Squad, he now ranks as the highest Democrat in the GOP-led House, earning unanimous support among each of the 212 Democrat representatives.
Jeffries gets a lot of credit for being a smooth-talker, but is really just as vacuous and tyrannical as Barack Obama with his hollow talking points that underscore the left’s tenacious desire to hold every last American hostage to their every whim.
Fortunately, Elon Musk purchased Twitter and the former safe space for Democrats to spout lies and censor truths has disappeared. Now, just like Joe Biden has been, Jeffries got hit with a fact-check for promoting absolute filth on his feed.
Extreme MAGA Republicans have established a Select Committee on Insurrection Protection.
We will fight it tooth and nail.

“Extreme MAGA Republicans have established a Select Committee on Insurrection Protection,” the House Minority Leader said in response to the GOP’s push to investigate the corrupt FBI. “We will fight it tooth and nail.”
Jeffries was responding to the House’s creation of a subcommittee meant to focus on the “weaponization of the federal government.” it was created in direct response to both the questions surrounding various narratives the last few years, such as the response to the Covid pandemic and events on January 6th, along with recent revelations surrounding the government’s all-too-cozy relationship with social media companies.
Under Jeffries tweet, the fact-check nailed him on his overt lie: “The actual committee is the “Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government”, chaired by Representative Jim Jordan, Republican of Ohio,” the statement read. “It was passed 221-211 with all Democrats opposed.”

Under his post, several of the top comments blasted Jeffries for his position.
So you want the government to be able to weaponized against US citizens by politicians? Weird flex.
The funny thing is, by not wanting to investigate alphabet agencies you are essentially protecting insurrectionists. Nice work.
Lie, the committee is designed to expose DCs permanent attack on the People’s Constitutional rights and their coordination with you and the mainstream media. Scared?
Sunlight only burns vampires.
Redstate pointed out that Jeffries and Democrats are so comfortable lying, since no one ever calls them out, that they are now in uncharted territory.
Now, what was hilarious was even as he tried to demonize Americans and lie about the Committee, he forgot he’s no longer tweeting on a Democratic-run media organ. He can’t continue to just lie and not get busted for it. The Community Notes aspect of Twitter — which Twitter head Elon Musk brought into play — has now nailed Jeffries on the matter.
It could also be that Democrats just don’t care. Fact-check or not, disregard for the truth has never held them back. It is unlikely accountability on the new virtual town square will change much. They will lie, disinform, misinform, and spread untruths just as before as they continue crafting narratives that are lapped up by unthinking sheep.
