Jeffries has got to go. We need a new leader of House Democrats if we want to survive as a Party
Corporate Dem Rep Henry Cuellar & his wife were indicted in March 2024 for accepting hundreds of thousands in foreign bribes.
Trump just pardoned them.
Hakeem Jeffries is praising Trump’s decision as “exactly the right outcome” & praising Cuellar as “a beloved member of the House.”
Ridiculous.😐
