Democrats have firmly established themselves as purveyors of the big lie, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) served up another whopper during an appearance on CNN.
The top House Democrat told anchor Wolf Blitzer that his powerless party is focused on the things that really matter to everyday Americans, including securing the southern border, suggesting that President Donald J. Trump and his administration aren’t doing enough to address the illegal alien crisis and other important issues.

“What we’ve seen from the Trump administration over the last several weeks is just a flood of unprecedented extremism and a parade of horribles that continue to be unleashed on the American people,” he told the bored-looking Blitzer.
“While at the same time, the Trump administration is not focused on solving the problems of everyday Americans. We’re continuing to make sure that we focus on trying to make life better for everyday Americans, fundamentally, that’s why we were sent to Washington, D.C.,” Jeffries said of the minority party that now enjoys a popularity rating in the neighborhood of the low twenties, just slightly above genital Herpes.
“We have to drive down the high cost of living. We have to secure the border. We have to keep communities safe. We have to protect our DREAMers and farm workers and families; these are the things that matter as opposed to creating crisis-like moments when we should be coming together and demonstrating leadership,” he added, a phony appeal to unity from a leader in the hate-mongering party that has divided Americans for years.
While Blitzer didn’t call “Dollar Store Obama” on his brazen gaslighting, X users didn’t let it go unchallenged.
Dollar Store Obama is microcosm of the entire Party.
They’re so used to gaslighting the entire country with media-enabled Alice in Wonderland messaging that they’ve forgotten how to sell original ideas.

The border seems like a stupid thing to highlight. It’s closed for the first time in 4 years.

Jeffries is an expert at highlighting the failures of Democrats

On a gaslighting scale of 1-10, this is an 11.

Jeffries is consistently FOS. Totally shameless.

Never forget that they told us that Bidenomics was indeed working, the border closed, the economy great, Biden sharp as a tack and we were just too stupid to realize it.

This clown just highlights how Obama was just a “smooth” delivery of lies & this guy just doesn’t have the same skill set.

The idea that Democrats are stronger on border control than Trump who in just over a month has all but stopped the flow of illegals into the country is ridiculous, but Jeffries is selling it anyway and while he wants to be just like Barack Obama, he can’t hold a candle to the former president when it comes to being a smooth and polished liar.
