House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) says New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is going to have to smooth things over with congressional Democrats after backing several progressive candidates who ousted incumbents during Tuesday’s primary elections.
Asked if Mamdani’s endorsements were making him “enemies” with Democrats in Washington, D.C., Jeffries told CNN that he and Mamdani “strongly” disagreed over his primary picks ahead of Election Day.
Now, according to Jeffries, the mayor has serious “work to do in terms of the conversations that he’s going to have with members of Congress moving forward.”
Greed and selfishness aren’t a form of cowardice, as far as I’m aware? To be cowardly, there must be a thing you are afraid of, the fear of which is preventing you from doing something you want or feel that you need to do
Don’t let them off with just being scared. They’re selfish and amoral
Being brave is doing the right thing despite being scared. Being a coward is doing the wrong thing because you’re scared of doing what you know is right. Jefferies is scared of AIPAC, he’s scared of losing the money and power they lend him.
I appreciate that you picked up what I was putting down. So little room for artistry in written communication, nowadays.
