Hakeem “FAFO” Jeffries Tries to Stunt in Redistricting Fight – 5.20.26
Hakeem Jeffries can’t stop losing.
His FAFO “Maximum Warfare” gambit on redistricting has backfired spectacularly.
Fox’s Robert Schmad wrote:
Despite this, Democratic-aligned groups poured more than $64 million into their attempt to net four congressional seats by redrawing Virginia’s congressional map, a bet that ultimately failed to pay off after the Virginia Supreme Court invalidated the redistricting process due to a procedural constitutional violation.
And now he is trying to get young black athletes involved in his mess.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) joined the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP Tuesday in demanding that black athletes boycott Southeastern Conference (SEC) universities in states that pursued redistricting.
Jeffries argued state universities in the SEC – the NCAA’s top conference for college athletics – haven’t done enough to counter the largely successful Republican efforts to redraw congressional districts to boost the GOP ahead of the midterm elections.
“This is an unprecedented moment, featuring an unprecedented attack on black political representation, and therefore it requires an unprecedented response,” Jeffries said during a press conference on Capitol Hill.
“We are here standing in solidarity with NAACP in its call for athletes to boycott institutions within the SEC that belong to states that have unleashed these Jim Crow-like racially oppressive tactics, which is unacceptable, unconscionable and un-American,” the New York Democrat continued. “And we believe that the silence of these institutions is complicity, and we will not stand for it.”
This comes on the heels of another viral moment in which Jeffries talked about “breaking” Trump supporters.
This guy is losing and he knows it. The more things turn around for Republicans the more desperate Jeffries becomes.
And I have a feeling he is just getting started.
