Don’t forget the insurrectionists last week who took over the Capitol in Tennessee.

A smarter person would realize they have been caught out for lying and admit the truth, even if it's only to save face. But here Jefferies is doubling down.

[wakeupamerica]

Not 1 charge of insurrection. They should be barred from spreading that misinformation. Facts matter.

[SOFTAILX]

They love using the word insurrection. I wonder if he ever talks about the invasion at the border

[christianbolt]

Projection pure and simple.
They are desperately trying to fight transparency on this issue.

[pickleballer]

This guy needs a large dose of reality!

[knightwolf]

Never been charged with insurrection yet continues to call them insurrectionists 🤔
This clown hates that the narrative is falling apart

[tammyraby]

Public don't support evil democrats who promote division and hate

[auxz]

There needs to be a real insurrection before there is nothing left to insurrect.

[FilosefeAbstrac]

Lulz, if Jeffries thinks "MAGA Republicans" are "extreme" for wanting to "defund the FBI", wait till he finds out what us libertarians want to do with the FBI. 😂

[WhisperGray]

What armed rebellion happened ?
We had a breaking and entering and tourist parade with one person stealing a laptop.

[n.j.cooper]

These SOB's rebrand and define everything.. Left is right, in is out. etc

[kenosabi]

From the group that brought you "defund the police"

[sabaha]

Braggs for prison with his minions 🥳🥳🥳..

[chewie]

Yes. The American public is smart. Smart enough to realize you're lying. And I'm not even a Trump supporter. But I'm not an idiot.

[johnseaberg]

The Jan 06 video proves Jeffries to be a liar 🤥

[nomaddavestinyhomes]

Funny how none of the j6 people are being charged with insurrection

[YZW]

It's unfortunate we have traitors like Gym in Congress. He tends to look the other way.

[TrentSLucas]

You keep saying extreme MAGA republicans. I don’t think it means what you think it means

[DizzieLizzie]

You had your turn. This is America. What do you have to hide????
