Kurt and Erin break down why Hakeem Jeffries meeting with Jared Kushner just 75 days before the midterms is political malpractice — smart for Kushner, disastrous for Jeffries. Then they run through…
Kurt BardellaHost
Hakeem Jeffries idiotic stupid like I mean political malpractice what the fuck are you doing man like you're in the middle of an election cycle and you're already meeting with Jared about what you might be working on when you're speaker don't fucking how many times we talk about measuring drapes on this show right what are you doing
too smart or too stupid do you think it's really really smart or really really stupid that Hakeem Jeffries met with Jared Kushner, apparently recently.
Smart or stupid on Hakeem's part, and then tell me if you think it's smart or stupid on Jared's part.
Doesn't hurt to be the person that, and he has played this role in a lot of facets, I think, of being the guy that has the back channel to whomever, whether it's foreign policy, or in this case, the Democrats.
Very smart for Jared, only makes him look that much more influential, impactful, power broker, great for him.
What the fuck are you doing, man? Like, you're in the middle of an election cycle and you're already meeting with Jared about what you might be working on when you're speaker.
What are you doing? Also, this like public enemy number two and the Democratic Party, like, you know, target list.
So unless you're meeting with him to talk about his surrender when he gets subpoenaed and hauled off to jail for contempt, like, I don't know why you're doing this right now.
You might get some cover from Andami, but like nobody want like you have created a storyline that we don't need to be talking about right now in the heat as the campaign bell rings here.
And it's good for him to know that there is a conversation point he can have with somebody on the Democrat leadership side should they win the House, right? And Hakeem would potentially become Speaker, although tough race for Hakeem.
