Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is full of it. That’s not our opinion; that’s just a fact.
.@RepJeffries credits Biden for states dropping mask mandates: "That’s because under President Biden's leadership, a public health infrastructure was put into place … to ensure that we can do everything possible to crush the virus, and that is what has been happening” pic.twitter.com/FDjJrjA7aB

Not only does Joe Biden deserve less than zero credit for Democratic governors lifting mask mandates, but the Supreme Court is not an illegitimate haven for the ghosts of the Confederacy.
We have to point that out because Rep. Jeffries actually said this:
The Supreme Court majority has zero legitimacy.
Ghosts of the confederacy are alive and well.

So apparently when you’re a Democrat, you can just say whatever garbage pops into your head, no matter how stupid and wrong and garbagey it is.

The ghosts of the confederacy are democrats…so technically I think you're right. https://t.co/AJR9rowk5d

OK, that’s a fair point … but still.
Democrats control literally every single major institution in the country except the Supreme Court.
So guess what? It’s illegitimate. They’re such crybabies. https://t.co/VxZCmWiyF0

“Crybabies” is right. And fickle ones at that.
Take look at this juxtaposition of Hakeem Jeffries tweets from Drew Holden:

What changed, Congressman? That’s quite the 180, isn’t it?
"Only Democrats in Congress thanks to ballot harvesting have legitimacy,” he added https://t.co/NAnPhVM44J
— Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) February 8, 2022
Rep. Jeffries didn’t actually have to add that. Because we all know what he was thinking.
Anyway, needless to say, one thing that hasn’t changed from one Hakeem Jeffries take to another is the glaring intellectual dishonesty and shameless fearmongering.
This is a dangerous, bad thing to say, trying to delegitimize our government for partisan gain. https://t.co/QNg4kYJPlY

It was nice that Democrats took a couple month’s (week’s?) pause on their multi-year effort to undermine the legitimacy of our institutions so that they could feign outrage about Trump undermining the legitimacy of our institutions.
Obviously, pause is over. https://t.co/QSbz8LWVMh

The pause may be over, but the truth is still the truth:
It does in fact have legitimacy and there's not a goddamn thing you can do about it. https://t.co/rfyPqeANns
