On Tuesday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries appeared on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” and showed us just how out of touch with reality he really is while discussing two special elections in Florida.
Jeffries made the claim that voters are “rapidly deteriorating Republican brand,” which is interesting considering there was “booming” Republican turnout, and both elections were won by the Republican candidates.
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell said, “Let’s begin as we wait for a victory speech in Wisconsin with your reaction to what you’re seeing in those special elections in Florida for two House seats.”
Jeffries replied, “It was an incredible over performance by the two Democratic candidates into two ruby red districts.”
“What. we’re seeing, of course, is something that we’ve seen all across the country since the early special elections that began in late January,” he continued. “And that is democratic energy and over performance coupled with independent swing voters and even moderate Republicans breaking for the Democratic candidate and rejecting the extremism, the outrageous behavior.”
Jeffries added, “It’s time for them to walk away from this unelected, unpopular, unhinged and un-American billionaire puppet master Elon Musk was just rejected decisively by the voters of Wisconsin. He tried to spend his unlimited resources to buy a state Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin, and it failed spectacularly. The voters rejected Donald Trump, they rejected Elon Musk, and they rejected the rapidly deteriorating Republican brand.”
