Hakeem Jeffries met with Jared Kushner. The New York Times reported it. The Democratic base lost its mind. Jeffries filmed a defensive response video in what appeared to be a hat borrowed from a St. Patrick’s Day parade and a camera angle that made the whole thing look like a hostage recording. Then JB Pritzker tried to help and accidentally confirmed that Kushner had successfully played Jeffries like a fiddle.
Let’s take these in order.
The meeting. “He asked for a meeting, and I took it,” Jeffries said, confirming he met with the man his own party calls a member of the “Trump cartel.” His explanation: they discussed affordability issues. That’s the entire justification for sitting down with Jared Kushner — affordability. The same Hakeem Jeffries who promises to hold every member of the “Trump cartel” accountable met with one of its allegedly most powerful members to talk about grocery prices. Good strategy.
