The difference between Democrats and republicans is like day and night, no drama.

[spiritfree]

He is too kind. There is nothing honorable about Mike Johnson

[shirleyallen]

Respect and Class makes all the difference coming from a leader of America.
Hakeem Jeffries has both. 🇺🇲

[aperson]

Jeffries has such class. What a nice introduction.

When Kevin McCarthy handed the gavel to Pelosi, he didn’t say anything about her as a person.

[kelleylaughlin]

Jeffries has some of those words had to have left a bad taste in his mouth

[oldlady]

Honorable people don't tell LIES. God fearing people fear God not trump.

[gwencrockford]

"Honorable?" I sincerely doubt that!

[EdohwhiskyNapoleon]

👏👏👏such an introduction wow! We got to separate the men from the boys! Thanks Hakeem 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[collinstestimony]

I can't wait to see Hakeem Jeffries becomes 57 speaker of house of representatives in 2026 by God grace 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[Kathy-zxbu]

What a class act!! He is really a good man. God bless you Sir.

[Ninja_McMuffin]

So begins the reign of Trump's Little Johnson...

[janemoore]

Jeffries shows all of the “R” that he indeed has class and grace and humanity…. Sadly “R” congressional folks are devoid of these qualities

[Laura-xjx]

Pay attention MTG. THIS is what class and character look like.

[joanmoore]

My "thumbs down", is for mike johnson.
Kudos to Hakeem Jeffries, for being able to keep a straight face, while havng those words cross his lips.

[rbhusana]

He must have had to rinse with Listerine to get the taste out of his mouth after calling Mike Johnson " honorable"

[scottgreer]

A real class act. They can learn from his wise words and behavior.

[philrose]

A snake simple as that, now holds the gavel.

[walterpierce]

Jeffries would be a much better Speaker!

[Derrick-rtlx]

Mike Johnson I hope you find your backbone in 2025❤❤❤

[rbyfheq]

Instead of a gavel, should have handed him a kid’s sand shovel. That’s what the Republicans are making congress, a kiddy sand box.
