This stone-cold colored gentleman the Democrats have elected brings a whole new meaning to the term “house nigger.”
CNN:
House Democrats chose caucus chair Hakeem Jeffries of New York to succeed Nancy Pelosi as leader of the Democrats in the chamber next year, a historic move that will make him the first Black person to lead one of the two major parties in either chamber of Congress.
House Democrats met behind closed doors Wednesday morning on Capitol Hill to make their decision.
Jeffries ran unopposed as leader, with Massachusetts Rep. Katherine Clark, current assistant speaker, running as whip and California Rep. Peter Aguilar, previously vice chair of the caucus, and was expected to win the spot to lead the House Democratic caucus.
Republicans have the majority in the next Congress, so Jeffries, Clark and Aguilar will all lead in a Democratic minority, the first in two terms.
At 52, Jeffries will represent a generational change from the current triumvirate of House Democratic leaders, who are three decades older than him. He became the chairman of the Democratic caucus in 2019, making him the youngest member serving in leadership.
His rise in leadership comes after Pelosi, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn announced they would be stepping down from their current leadership positions. Clyburn is expected to become assistant leader in the new Congress.
Pelosi – who was designated “Speaker Emerita” in a unanimous vote by the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee Tuesday night – blessed the new trio of leaders expected to succeed them in a statement when she announced she would step down and return to being a rank-and-file member in the new Congress.
“A new day is dawning — and I am confident that these new leaders will capably lead our Caucus and the Congress,” Pelosi said.
Basically, this guy got picked because he was black. This is what happens – if you’re black, and you have any kind of basic, minimal competence, all you have to do is show up and white women make you the boss.
In this case, there is nothing really to be in charge of. With both political parties, members of Congress do nothing but shill for bills that were written by lobbyists and donors. They literally don’t even know what is in the bills, as the Speaker Emerita once stated publicly.
With the MASSIVE emergency spending bill giving pork to all sorts of groups it's worth noting that exactly 12 years ago these words were pronounced by Pelosi on Obamacare. pic.twitter.com/XJZ9l3mt6q

The primary requirement for a top Congressperson is to be able to take on TV, and if you’re black, it doesn’t really matter what you say.
I would like hear him say “and that’s the bottom line – because Hakeem Jeffries said so.”
But why does he look like the black Michael Stipe?
