Hakeem Jeffries has never hidden his contempt for the Squad and the left generally. Beyond embodying everything they claim to hate in politics, he campaigned against all of them. And yet the Squad cheers him. The Squad aren't radicals, just establishment frauds with no dignity.

The entire system needs to be challenged. 2/2

Everybody’s touting a generational change in Democratic leadership in the House, but we shouldn’t kid ourselves.
There was no fundamental change there whatsoever.
Wall Street remains firmly in control, as it was with a woman in her 80s and is now with a man in his 50s. 1/2
