House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has a HUGE problem on his left flank. The DSA hates him, possibly even more than they hate America, and he knows they will dump him as soon as they gain anything resembling real power.
But Jeffries is also a coward who cannot take the DSA and will dodge any question about their radical policy positions like abolishing the Senate and the Electoral College.
What's a poor Temu Obama who is desperate to become Speaker of the House to do?
If you know Jeffries, his instinctual response, of course, is to deflect, gaslight, and lie.
Yesterday, the man who has denied election fraud outright or called it a 'minor challenge' at most, tried to pretend that Democrats believe in 'holding crooks accountable,' even as he and the party leadership encourage and enable massive amounts of fraud across America.
Taxpayer dollars should be used to make life more affordable for everyday Americans.

Not enrich the family and friends of the rich and powerful.
We will hold the crooks accountable beginning on Day 1.
Hmm. Why isn't he trying to hold 'crooks' accountable right now?
Needless to say, the irony of complaining about the 'powerful' while seeking more power for himself is lost on Jeffries.
Also needless to say, this tweet went horribly for him.
You literally let a bunch of Somalis who have been in America 10 minutes steal billions of tax dollars while actual citizens have to go to work to pay the bill. https://t.co/o5zK4dTw8S

Don't forget how loudly Jeffries and the Democrats screeched about DOGE and its discovery of rampant fraud within the federal government.

You realize you're Hakeem Jeffries, right? https://t.co/g9cGv0SBVM

LOL.
He should at least be familiar with how routinely he gets ratioed on X for his awful attempts at gaslighting.
CZ I told you he wasn't smart. Anyone reading this first sentence aloud would not have posted it. https://t.co/ldo6Qku16c
— The Gormogons (@Gormogons) August 19, 2026
No, he is not smart.
Thankfully, plenty of people on X were happy to help educate him about the nature of taxation.
How about taxpayer dollars being used by the taxpayer who gets to keep their own dollars rather than the corrupt federal leviathan you favor stealing their money at the point of a gun?

My life would be more affordable if you'd stop taking so much of my taxpayer dollars.

If you had a grasp of basic economics, you’d realize that your seizing our money and spending it as you see fit, makes life less affordable.
— Bleu Cheque (@VERBAL_CHANCLA) August 19, 2026
If any Communists like Jeffries had a basic grasp of economics, they wouldn't be Communists.
Oh!
— RBe (@RBPundit) August 18, 2026
Are you proposing to let taxpayers keep more of their own money?
No?
Interesting. https://t.co/NpSyszHzeY
It will never stop being hilarious watching Democrats — who have never met a tax hike or government expansion they didn't love — talk about 'affordability.'
It's not my responsibility to pay for other people's livelihoods. How's about less taxes, root out fraud and abuse, and use the money you already take wisely instead of funding your bff's personal ventures with US taxpayer money.
— Redneck Rogue Elf, 🐿 Whisperer (@TheRogue_Elf) August 19, 2026
It's especially not our responsibility to pay for those livelihoods when the people we're supporting aren't citizens or even in America legally.
GP Who specifically has stolen government money? What money was stolen from what government entity?
— The Gormogons (@Gormogons) August 18, 2026
By my reckoning, the biggest thefts of taxpayer funds have come from Somalis in Minnesota of late. https://t.co/ldo6Qku16c
And California. And New York. And so on ...

Those sure look like crooks to us. Why doesn't Jeffries believe in holding them accountable? For that matter, why isn't he working to help the Vice President's Anti-Fraud Task Force?
Yep. We know why.
So...90% of the Democrats are going to prison? https://t.co/nrEYdIRaOc
— StarvinLarry🏴☠️🪓🚁 Kakistocracy's Kulak (@StarvinLarry) August 19, 2026
HA!
Ninety percent seems like a low number.
But it's a good start.
Held accountable with platitudes? What exactly is the plan here since you laid out literally nothing?
— B L A K E L E Y™℠©® LLC (@_iamblakeley) August 18, 2026
He doesn't have a plan.
When Jeffries says 'hold crooks accountable,' what he means is 'punish my political opponents and anyone who votes for them.'
If he TRULY wanted accountability for corruption, after all, he would begin with a mirror.

OOF!
Jeffries might want to investigate how that guy got so rich on a government salary.
And he doesn't need to wait for 'Day One' to do it.
All he needs to do is turn himself in.
