(Crankers) Democrat Hakeem Jeffries gets worse by the day and then worse again each night.
This time CNBC’s Becky Quick made Hakeem Jeffries look like a complete toolbag when he was unable to answer a simple question.
Jeffries did one of those Democrat things where you answer the question by talking about something else, therefore not answering the actual question, because you either don’t know the answer or can’t say the answer without making yourself or friends look bad.
It’s a classic deflection strategy and it’s why you rarely get answers out of Democrats. The reason they do this is because the truth would make them look even worse than they already look.
Quick was asking Jeffries about Obama’s failed Affordable Care Act, which punished the middle class with ridiculous premiums.
Western Lensman on X provided the quotes:
Quick: *Cuts Jeffries off to try to make him actually answer a question*
Jeffries: “You can ask the question, I’ll provide the answer!”
Quick: “Answer the question, instead of going back.”
Jeffries: “I’m providing an answer in order to provide context!”
Quick: “It’s important context to make me realize that I don’t think you want to get a deal done. I think this is something where you’d like to see the rates go higher and allow the Republicans to hang themselves with that.”
Jeffries: “That’s absolutely a ridiculous assertion. Shame on you for saying that! It’s not a partisan issue for us!”
Quick: *eyeroll*
Western Lensman then calls out Hakeem Jeffries by saying: “This guy absolutely loses it at ANY semblance of media pushback to his scripted, robotic regurgitations.”
And the best part about all of this is that it’s on video:
