His stance on defund the police proves he's a liar.

[jeromedwojak]

How can the men and women in the police force be honored when the democratic policies stripped them of their authority to uphold the law! What hypocrisy Mr. Jeffries!

[Alligator]

President Trump's Colleagues speaking on his behalf shows the strength and unity of the Republican Party‼️ We need to see more of these loyal supporters NOW‼️

[JasmineSinclair-in]

YouTube won't allow me to give my opinion about this.

[hemaccabe]

Hakeem speaks and then everyone with integrity and ethics laughs.

[robertmclean]

Hakeem the liar, claimed 5 police officers died on the 6th.

Isn’t this the same yahoo that set off a false fire alarm in the capital ?

[kristypiits]

What a bunch of hypocrites. They all wanted to defund the police. Now they stand up there telling lies.

[katrinpaulsen]

How about honoring the soldiers killed at the afganastan withdrawal ? How about the young women killed in the capitol by a guard? They are to blame not the republicansb

My man Hakeem, the de-facto Speaker of the House of Representatives

[vonrock]

Seems the mainscream media and Democrats talk like they’re trying to convince me.

[herbgriffitt]

Nobody cares what Hakeem Jefferies thinks.

[shawnwalford]

Are the Democrats going to feel the same way when Trump wins in 2024.

[macdaddy]

Him blasting anybody is laughable at best

[kathymartin]

Is he the one that thought Guam was going to tip over? Or was that someone else?

[BNM-bt]

He reminds me of O'bummer, his mannerisms and cadance are the same. #besureYoursinwillfindYouOUT
