Showing Original Post only (View all)Hakeem Jeffries praises Trump's border policy [View all]
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

No. He did say it. Unless you think he'd post a deep fake on his own government site.

Politicians doing politics: a big sin, I guess. Unless one imagines oneself an outsider after decades in politics

Yes, sarcastic. Saying "Trump did a better job. ... It ain't that hard to do. Biden didn't do it." THAT'S praising Trump

Couldn't agree more. Trump hasn't done anything worthy of praise from Democrats.

Jeffries needs to get a clue. Just ridiculous. The border is closed and we are not taking any refugees
