NEW YORK, NY — After the Supreme Court eliminated race-based gerrymandering last week, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), a low-IQ individual, declared the Supreme Court “illegitimate” and accused President Donald J. Trump of rigging the upcoming midterm elections. The Voting Rights Act, which allowed Democrat-led courts and legislatures to arbitrarily redraw Congressional voting maps to create majority-minority districts, was a key pillar of Democrat election strategy before the Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional. Responding to Jeffries’ unprecedented attack on the Supreme Court, President Trump remarked that, “After saying such a thing, isn’t he subject to Impeachment? … Where are you Republicans? Why not get it started?”
Well, Mr. President, here we are. As the largest group of organized Young Republicans in New York State – and, indeed, in the United States – the New York Young Republican Club supports President Donald J. Trump’s initiative to expel Minority Leader Jeffries from the House of Representatives. Republicans should understand that Democrat extremism will continue until Republicans show spine. Initiating proceedings to expel Jeffries from the House, while not dispositive, will give Republicans credibility as the November elections approach.
“Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will forever be remembered as a discount Barack Obama,” said NYYRC President Stefano L. Forte. “He shouldn’t be a Congressman, let alone be two seats away from the Speaker of the House. For stoking the flames of insurrection and violence against our great President Donald J. Trump, Jeffries should be removed from office immediately. I am proud to be joined in this call by the Honorable Republican Chairman Liam McCabe of Kings County and the Honorable Conservative Chairwoman Fran Vella-Marrone.”
“In Brooklyn, we keep it simple,” said Brooklyn Republican County Chairman Liam A. McCabe. “If you hold high office, you uphold the Constitution — not tear it down when decisions don’t go your way. Hakeem Jeffries has proven himself unfit to uphold the Constitution he swore to defend. His attack on the Supreme Court is a direct assault on the rule of law. Congress should initiate expulsion proceedings without delay to defend the integrity of our institutions. ‘Horrible Hakeem’ is Brooklyn’s Biggest Embarrassment and we are happy to join the NYYRC in helping to end his sad career.”
“Hakeem Jeffries should stay in his lane,” said New York State Assemblyman Lester Chang. “The Supreme Court has done its job. It’s time Jeffries does the same for once. Politics in our country should not be viewed through race, but through dedication to our Constitution and national values. Congressman Jeffries is sadly lacking in both, and we don’t need people like that in office.”
“Hakeem Jeffries has time and again overlooked large parts of his district in southern Brooklyn,” said Kings County Conservative Party Chairwoman Fran Vella-Marrone. “Now, he is upset that the Supreme Court has rightfully gotten rid of the kind of racial gerrymandering that he and left-wing Democrats have used for years. Brooklyn could do a whole lot better with someone else in that seat.”
Hakeem Jeffries crossed a dangerous line this week with his rhetoric. As a Member of Congress, Jeffries must be brought to understand that the Supreme Court is no more legitimate than he is. Attacking a co-equal branch of government, while ignoring the basic 14th Amendment prohibition on race-based gerrymandering, was uncalled for and is an illegitimate use of Jeffries’ office. House Republicans should respond with more than rhetoric. Expulsion proceedings should be initiated against Jeffries, who is unfit to represent New Yorkers in the storied halls of Congress.
As Democrat Extremists continue to make attempts on the life of our dear President, it would behoove Hakeem Jeffries to tone down his rhetoric. If Jeffries cannot understand this, he is unworthy to serve as an elected representative of the good people of New York.
