@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Hakeem Jeffries says of Cuomo's attacks on Mamdani for living in a rent controlled apartment: "It's a legitimate issue that has been raised, and the [Mamdani] campaign is going to have to address it." Go to hell, Mr. Jefferies. But resign first.
Jesus, Mamdani supporters are beginning to sound just like Maga. Like scrutiny is not allowed.
Scrutiny? O.k. Why did Bill Clinton endorse the sex pest Cuomo who has connections to Epstein? Why is Mamdani tripping Jeffries wires, but Cuomo with his problematic history does not?
Scrutiny for living in a rent controlled apt in a city of rent controlled apartments? Seriously?
👍 agree with you
And I once thought jefferies was worth my time
He's always been a craven asshole
I consider Jeffries owning a CAR to be a MAJOR issue about which he needs to come clean. WHERE DOES HE GO exactly? Why even own a car unless it's to pick up under-aged prostitutes? People who do DRIVE BY SHOOTINGS use a CAR. So many legitimate issues have been raised that Jeffries needs to address.
Sorry to butt in; non-NY resident here, but it seems like Mamdani’s housing situation is a reasonable starting point for discussion of unaffordable housing issues in the city It might remind people of possible strategies, like rent-control, to help working-class folks afford a place to live
WHAT!? WHY?
Just another idiot democrats that can’t read the room.
aah so thanks now i get it - but where is @schumer.senate.gov honoring the will of NYC people who voted for him. I'm not a D but shame on leaders like Chuck & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social why you're losers. Even non D's see you have no loyalty
Jeffries is on the wrong side of this and it may cost him his seat. Boo fucking hoo.
Mr Jeffries you misspoke. You could have said “STFU Cuomo - you are a sexual abuser and you should not be running for mayor or any other office”.
I wish he'd say something even stronger, but I'd take that.
With Democrats like that, who needs the GOP?
So why is he living in. Rent Controlled building ? Maybe because NYC is becoming a place where only the uber-rich can live?
The fact that we have a system that requires rent control indicates the core problem of capitalism: under the guise of healthy competition, it funnels wealth to fewer & fewer people. It was designed as a kind of modern feudalism by racist, sexist, wealthy white men to benefit themselves.
ROFL Oh My
Mr Jeffies, keep your nose to congreso. Don't comment on NYC mayoral dem candidate!!! Or, you'll be voted out
He's already headed to losing in 2026.
And this is why the democrats are where they are. We will never get anything done with this kind of shit happening. Jeffries was once a rising star but he’s just a fucking hypocrite now. Fuck him.
For pity's sake! Is that all that's going against Mamdani? Jeffries grow a pair and realize Mamdani is the future of the Democratic party!
I really thought Hakeem was a good one, not anymore. He needs to go
I think it is a fair question. Mamdani can easily answer and probably make political points. Unhappy to see Jeffries not solidly behind the Dem primary winner though. He either needs to get behind Mamdani or get his thumb off the scale. It just shows how out of touch centralist Dems are.
He needs to get gone.
Jeffries is like Schiff and the rest. Useless.
wtf! there are generations of NYC people living rent controlled and passed on through families yep those 'white' folk WWS- but this kind of betrayal is why D's have allowed the autocrat to destroy US Republic- I'm an I who believes in Constitution and NYC folk voted for Mamdani- get over it
To be honest Jeffries gesticulates a lot but has not done much to protect democracy Better than little mike though
Yeah Hakeem. STFU You’re an embarrassment
Not a legitimate issue at ALL. My estimation of Hakeem Jeffries decreases with every passing day. It is not at all unlikely that he can be beaten in a primary.
What a weasel. If the dem establishment doesn’t endorse him they’re going to look so irrelevant. Almost as irrelevant as they actually are.
Mamdani's DSA has tried to primary him.out ever since AOC won her primary. Why should he kiss their ring? His job doesnt require him to kiss the ring of the Indian who called himself "Black/ African American" on his college application. Fun fact, he's more popular in his district than AOC is in hers
David Hogg is right about the Democrats. No wonder many are defecting. Jeffries couldn't be bothered to bring up Cuomo's THREE expensive residences could he? gothamist.com/news/where-i...
When he wins big Hakeem you will see what side New Yorkers are really on.
Jeffers needs to step down.
You think only rich people should run for office. Rent control is an issue, but sexual harassment & lying about everything is not disqualifying? FFS. You & @schumer.senate.gov & a host of other spineless politicians are why the Democratic Party & @kenmartin.bsky.social have no morals, no values.
Jeffries needs to divest himself of AIPAC money or step away from leadership.
"So, you've covered your AIPAC reps talking points, Mr Jefferies. Do you have any of your own?"
I used to like Jeffries…that ship has sailed.
When you lose the ability to question people, you end up with someone like trump
How many years did Mayor Koch live in a rent controlled apartment and no one made a big deal about it? So why now?
Either way
Hakeem is a clueless m-fer!
Is there something wrong with living in a rent controlled apt? Jeffries is a hopeless asskisser.
Cuomo go touch another lady
