Dem leader Hakeem Jeffries flips the script on – Latest News
Diary of disturbing disinformation and harmful delusions
This declare:
“Republicans are in free fall right now.”
— House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Mar. 27
We say: Utter projection. Last month, CNN discovered the Democratic Party’s favorability at the lowest because it started polling 32 years in the past, with simply 29% favorability, and later polls show it decrease.
If Dems aren’t the ones in “free fall,” it’s solely as a result of they’ll’t fall a lot decrease. Republicans are having fun with far increased ranges of assist. In March, President Trump noticed his highest NBC News approval ranking, 47%.

This query:
“Do you think [Hamas kidnappers] starved you or they just didn’t have food?”
— Leslie Stahl on “60 minutes,” Sunday
We say: What a query to pose to ex-hostage Keith Siegel, who Hamas held in brutal situations for 484 days. Was Stahl seeking to blame Israel for his struggling?
Is she naive about Hamas stealing food from Gaza’s civilians to make sure its members are fed?
His response proved her means out of line: Along with beating him, his captors would eat proper in entrance of him, with out offering him any food in any respect.
This view:
“Why should I give a f–k about some law that some old white man passed in the 1920s?”
— The Nation’s Elie Mystal on “The View,” Tuesday
We say: Asked about Team Trump’s use of the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act to deport unlawful migrants, Mystal bashed “every law passed before the 1965 Voting Rights Act” as “presumptively unconstitutional.”

Huh! That contains the 1964 Civil Rights Act, income tax and Social Security legal guidelines and far more.
Scrapping “every” pre-1965 law would just about destroy at the moment’s total US political and financial system — together with issues Mystal helps.
This boast:
“President Biden created 15 million jobs . . . more than many modern presidents in modern history.”
— Dan Koh, former Biden deputy Cabinet secretary, Monday
We say: Seriously? Dems are nonetheless clinging to this bull, 5 months after voters rejected it decisively in November?
Everyone is aware of most of these “15 million jobs” have been misplaced during the COVID lockdown.
When that ended (thanks largely to the vaccines Team Trump oversaw), the jobs returned. If Dems can’t transfer on, they’ll by no means win back public trust.
