Dem Leader Calls House GOP ‘Marauding Bands Of People Who Hate Each Other’
HuffPost
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) compared what he said was a “unified” Democratic party to the apparent discord of the House Republicans.
The shambolic nature of the House of Representatives in the just-ended 118th Congress has Democrats pinning at least some of their hopes for stopping Republicans in the new Congress on disunity within the House GOP.
Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) put it plainly in his weekly press conference at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday in responding to Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) taunt Tuesday that Democrats were struggling with their identity after the 2024 election losses.
“Why are you talking about an identity crisis?” Jeffries said when asked about Johnson’s comment.
“The Republican conference is filled with marauding bands of individuals who can’t stand each other. And Democrats, as far as I can tell, are unified in our determination to make life better for the American people.”
Jeffries didn’t specify why he described Republicans that way, but there were many examples in the last Congress.
