John Fugelsang (who?) was recently on MSNBC arguing that most Americans don’t know who Democrat Hakeem Jeffries is. Therefore, they’re not able to deduce that he played a huge role in the Schumer Shutdown of the federal government. Fugelsang contends they’ll blame President Donald Trump instead. We think more Americans are familiar with the sombrero-wearing Democrat than Fugelsang gives them credit for.
Check this out. (WATCH)
Libs on MSNBC make the argument that Americans will blame Trump for the govt shutdown because the average American doesn’t know who Hakeem Jeffries is.

This is clearly not true.
Everyone knows he’s that guy in the sombrero. pic.twitter.com/0glzZsU3OJ
Just a couple of more experts that don't know what day it is, once again super duper unimpressive.

MSNBC thinks Americans are too clueless to know who Hakeem Jeffries is. That’s the same elitist contempt they show for voters every single day.

The legacy media have been so upset over Trump’s sombrero posts that they’ve put Jeffries front and center on many of their programs.
More people know who he is than ever before. Thanks to a well-placed sombrero. Posters understand this.

Everyone knows this guy. C’mon.

They should recognize him from the capital steps duo. pic.twitter.com/ef3JFhKxVK

Girl, you know it’s true that he’s easily recognizable now.
Again, we can thank legacy media outlets for lots of exposure to Dollar Store Obama (or Tienda de un Dólar Obama as he is known to his party's illegal aliens).

Trump turned him into a household name….just not the way Hakeem wanted 😂

The sombrero guy, Hakeem Jeffries

The sombrero meme made him more recognizable than ever. Trump knows what he's doing. The left has never been able to resist the streisand effect

The hat makes the man.
Commenters say the media being upset over Trump’s videos and memes is bringing attention to the message that Democrats are looking out for illegal aliens at the expense of Americans.
I wholeheartedly endorse this stance from the left of choosing illegals over Americans and then blaming Trump.

Exactly.

Never interrupt your enemy when…
Wait! Not blame Jefferies? What about Scummer? MSM disinformation worse than I thought.

It’s definitely the Schumer Shutdown, but we shouldn’t forget Jeffries. Actually, no one will ever forget Jeffries since he’s forever linked with sombreros because of Trump.
Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
