    Pretty sure he meant to say the N-word instead of Hakeem Jeffries

      Also, nobody* loves Jeffries. It’s his turn according to the congresswoman whose allies still control all committee assignments and who’s still one of the most effective solicitors of the legal bribes they depend on, so the rest just have to go along with it.

      *except maybe an owner donor or two.

        Citation needed. All democrats are rallying behind him so he must at least be tolerated by the majority of the party.

          That’s exactly his point, tolerated, not loved

            That’s fine. I don’t love most of my coworkers and my bosses. I tolerate and respect them, though. I don’t see why that’s a positive or negative to want to share a hotel room when traveling with your speaker.
