SAGE WISDOM: CONGRESSMAN HAKEEM JEFFRIES IS A GENUINE GENIUS

[NickCager]

Was the only point of this to slander MTG?

[cynthiaforequity]

Yes sir Mr Jeffries. Future president.

[pamelaolson]

I love how they call it Extreme Maga Republicans. They're just Republicans.

[ruthnovena]

Guess what the BORDER is still open . will this get the border closed or not?

[taxigal]

What's with the volume always on conservatives

[dannybarrientes]

You know we say hes like a "wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tubeman". But he so worth listening to

[mikecoffey]

Mr Jeffrey's, and I use the term loosely, why are you so angry. So Santos lied, your president Biden not mine has been lying for almost 50 years in office, why arent you mad about that . Before you weed someone else's garden weed your own first.

[americanlibertynewsmilitia]

Is he signing or just screaming with his hands.

[obedrex]

This fool's side (democrat) is responsible for this border trouble, to begin with.

[tamismith]

This guy is a hack you r average democrat putting money where it does need to be

[PokeJoe]

What a joke he need to stop bully they a re doing the right thing spending spree must stop

[NickCager]

He can try and distract us with his hands all he wants... but we see his lips moving!

[darkcrypto]

Does anyone else feel dumb listening to Hakeem speak?

[samfalcon]

ha ha ha ha

This guy is supposed to be the most powerful dem right now and he's basically relegated to just being a loud mouth.

[Booger]

Santos is definitely a weird guy, and probably a gridter by any stretch of the imagination. However, Jefferies is the last person who should comment on anyone running for Congress to enrich themselves. Unless he wants to tell how an out of work bartender who couldn't afford to move to DC is now a multimillionaire.

[gloriapitts]

Santos thinks that be can use Trump's play book. Just deny everything and complain they are out to get u.

[petercristo]

Dems are taking the high moral ground here. They're outraged - outraged at the personal lifestyles and behavior of Republican George Santos. - 'Is there no decency ?!?' They posit.
You see Dems are very law abiding, honest and moralistic. 🥴

Mexico supose to pay for the wall . Republicans still waiting for the money from the Mexican president, how long now? 6 years😅😅
