House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stepped down from her decades-long role as leader of Democrats in the House of Representatives — and her replacement is already prepared to step in as upcoming Minority leader.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., is widely expected to take over for Pelosi. Jeffries has been groomed by the Democratic establishment for years, and has been endorsed by Pelosi as well as other Democratic leaders that are stepping down.
Jeffries is also an election denier, who once called former President Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory “illegitimate” and claimed it was rigged and stolen from Hillary Clinton.
For years, Jeffries told his followers that Trump was a “fake” president and claimed, without evidence, that the Republicans Party was working with Russia to “steal” the 2020 election.
He also once told supporters that Trump was the “Grand Wizard at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”
Take a look —
The more we learn about 2016 election the more ILLEGITIMATE it becomes. America deserves to know whether we have a FAKE President in the Oval Office #RussianInterference https://t.co/x3BHO5CPIm

Keep pouting.
History will never accept you as a legitimate President.

If Jeffries is so concerned about election integrity, perhaps he’ll push Democrats to agree to pass voter I.D. laws?
We won’t hold our breath.
