Hakeem Jeffries

ABC’s Good Morning America co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos held back-to-back exclusive interviews Wednesday with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) for reaction to President Trump’s Tuesday night address to a joint session of Congress. To the shock of likely no one, Stephanopoulos badgered Johnson while barely…

NBC’s Seth Meyers was greatly displeased with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Monday’s episode of Late Night after he argued Democrats need to be like baseball star Aaron Judge and choose which pitches to swing at.  Meyers, on the other hand, demanded that Democrats “get your bat off your [bleep] shoulder” because “Trump is barraging us with such an intense fuselage of non-…

After President-elect Donald Trump leaned on dissident Republican U.S House members and strong-armed the reelection of Speaker Mike Johnson, congressional Democrats -- and Republicans -- marveled at Trump’s power and influence. When the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Colorado could not prevent Trump from appearing on that state’s primary, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a member of the…

CBS's Stephen Colbert welcomed House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to the Thursday taping of The Late Show to promote his new children's book and to help explain the difference between Republicans and Democrats. This being The Late DNC Show, Colbert would conclude that the answer is that Republicans don't believe everyone should have health care.

CBS’s Stephen Colbert’s interview with former Speaker Nancy Pelosi was derailed late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning on night two of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago by anti-Israel hecklers. The Late Show host struggled as he sought to control the unruly behavior, but also tried to appease them by noting Pelosi’s answers were “unsatisfying to some people” as he…

With President Biden’s Wednesday Covid diagnosis and growing questions about his competence taking top billing over the Republican National Convention on Thursday morning, ABC, CBS, and NBC didn’t mince words in burying Biden by observing this “coordinated” push by other Democrats to force him out was reminiscent of a famous scene from A Few Good Men and deployed a term they’d repeatedly…

On Sunday's Meet the Press, after a typically contentious, extremely interrupt-ious interview with Sen. Tom Cotton, host Peter Alexander interviewed House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries about the Trump trial, and a single question on the Hunter Biden trial. Jeffries claimed that it was OK for Joe Biden to proclaim "my son has done nothing wrong," which is laughably false. 

During an otherwise fawning interview on CBS for 60 Minutes, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was sharply questioned for his refusal to be overtly critical of Israel over their conduct of the war against Hamas in the aftermath of the medieval and horrific attack of October 7th.

As House Republicans prepared to hold a vote on impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Monday, CNN This Morning anchor Phil Mattingly implied to Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries that the move would be racist or anti-immigrant simply because of Mayorkas’s biography.

NPR Morning Edition co-host Steve Inskeep interviewed House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries on Tuesday, and once again, he was every bit as accommodating as he was in his many softball interviews with Barack Obama. Inskeep asked if new Speaker Mike Johnson was "extreme right wing," but he skipped asking Jeffries about his party's extreme left wing, especially the censure of radical…

The Democrats at PolitiFact jumped at the chance to “fact check” new House Speaker Mike Johnson’s acceptance speech after he was elected. They gave him a “Half True” for saying “Prices have increased over 17% in the last two years.” Johnson's office sent PolitiFact data that prices have increased that much under Biden, but they fussed "Johnson said two years, not two years and nine months."…

The PBS NewsHour interviewed House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Thursday night about Israel, Ukraine, and the Republican failure to elect a new Speaker of the House. Co-host Geoff Bennett asked Jeffries nothing that might be embarrassing to the Democrats -- nothing about Jamaal Bowman, or Bob Menendez, or Rashida Tlaib, or Team Biden financially enabling Iran to aid Hamas. 

For months, there has been a steady drip of information coming from the House Oversight Committee and government whistleblowers about how the Department of Justice had given Hunter Biden “special privileges not afforded to other Americans.” But despite the mounting evidence that President Biden’s son was getting the sweetheart treatment, Tuesday’s CNN This Morning looked to House…

The radical heir to the Soros fortune and Chairman of the Open Society Foundations has found a ready ear at the White House.
