[karenb]

[eldonhoward]

Another words, give us our way about everything because we will not compromise on anything!

[thezombcasthd]

We want to work with them, then proceeds to do the opposite

[timreed]

He cant push Johnson like he did McCarthy he hates that.

[sabaha]

Its too FAKE for words:
Barack Hussein 🤣Obama

[mikewmike]

Hakeem looks like a Garfield human character?!

[sircasm]

Like to see this guy and fetterman in a spelling bee

[patsygunter]

He acts like Obama there's not no people going to bow down to him

[ruthdavila]

You are so professional at your level Sir, Honorable Hakeem Jeffries .

[thetruthseeker]

I used to have a rifle called Hakim. No awards for guessing where it was from.

[jopolzun]

I have yet to see any “Republican Extremism “! Where? Who?

[thisisbeyondajoke]

Has he overdosed on fentynal his eyes are vacant

[oldsharkbythesea]

Grab your ankles Hakeem
…”Big Johnson” is inDa Houuuse. 😂

[TheAace]

What's with all the hand gestures, does he have epilepsy ?

[misugita]

Hakeem constantly punching up at his betters during his embarrassing envious tantrums isn't really a "relationship."

[DAyoMusicOfficial]

Please define Republican extremism. Getting rid of slavery? Ending Jim Crow? Lowering the cost of living for Americans? 🤷🏽 Please elaborate.

[harrymann]

“I expect Speaker Johnson to accept higher taxes. I oppose any attempt to cut taxes.”

[marydetiveaux]

Do they even know what "extreme" means? They throw that word around to gaslight IMO
