We're not extreme, we're just pro-America.

Someone get this man to the ward. He is using very emotional words, so I am worried for him. Please get him some forced care like everyone else. ❤

Turning the clock back? Like our forefathers whose only diversity was canceled by a patriotic spirit and a sacrifice for freedom? No law was needed to legislate “DEI”. Keep government out of our dignity to seek happiness and success, on our very own MERITS.

[deadname...]

That's "Ultra Maga" to you Sir.

If preserving the Constitution is extremism then this guy is sadly confused. This guy is pretending he doesn’t understand what Conservatism means. We really are in Orwellian times. I’d like to add preserving our language to the Conservative brand before this gets any worse. How can we teach our children at home when they are taught that words mean something different than those same words meant just 10 or 20 years ago?

Liar..safety for our country ISNT AN OPEN BORDER

[brandontuck]

Jeffries has proven himself to be a habitual liar..so there's that

[dreadfuldonkey]

I know it’s not right! However your telling the people that happen to be possibly races they can’t be when your telling Trans or Queer or any body else they can identify as whatever they want to be.

Why exactly is diversity our strength?

[waynedubois]

This guy has been smoking to much with Hunter.

[rodgerfranklin]

I Can't Hear a Word He's Flapping, He Never Sounded BETTER !

[aFreakingAmerican]

Conservatives just love America, "Hakeem"...

[elezabeththomas]

P.S. We've seen how you play Biden; you know his soft spots. That doesn't work with us. Not at all.

[ruthabbott]

Extreme MAGA??? 😂😂😂😂😂 wholly better than extreme LEFTIST!!!!

[tonyhunt]

this hack should be ignored, and i see he is ignored .

[getsmart]

Hilarious and ridiculous. As usual no one is listening to Jeffries.

[isc]

He is the one who wants to turn back the clock to the 1960's. He is so full of bull.

[vanessakammerer]

Make America great again in not extremists we have had a long family of those who served to protect our country, and Jeffery is only free because of those men and women. I'm not a what he says I am life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all people. That's who I am, maybe the people want to decrease what we pay you

[ralphkramden]

The word extremist which #homee used repeatedly is a threat in itself. Watch Brother Hakeem very closely. Under the menacing soft words is a big problem.

[johnpurcellpurcell]

Oh yeah, well “ physician heal thyself” where has the normal democratic cadre gone?
