Depressed Hakeem Jeffries Admits It - The Democrats Are Losing

Hey, ladies and gentlemen, this is

Carmine Sabia for Explain America and

Hakeem Jeffries is having a breakdown,

folks, and

I got to tell you,

it's kind of glorious.

Before we get started, please make sure

you like, comment, share, and subscribe.

Those little things really help us out,

and they help our channel continue to

grow.

Hakeem Jeffries is not taking the news

of the Voting Rights decision by the

Supreme Court very well.

Not very well at all.

So, he goes out and he gives a speech.

He goes, "This is the end of affirmative

action. This is the end of diversity,

equity, and inclusion. This is the end

of the Voting Rights Act." And I sat

there and I thought to myself, "Good,

good,

and very good. Are you kidding me? These

were all things that gave unfair

advantages to people.

At the time when they were brought up,

most of them, they were needed. They

were needed.

But, it's 2026, Mr. Jeffries.

It's 2026, and it's time to stop leaning

on these crutches that you use to get

votes and really keep people in a state

of stasis.

You keep them standing still instead of

growing, instead of doing better for

themselves,

because you want them on the Democrat

handout train.

In fact, you need them

on the Democrat handout train, don't

you?

Because that's how you keep the votes

a-coming in, isn't it?

Yeah, he had a total breakdown, and like

I said, it was glorious. I want you guys

to watch this and let me know what you

think in the comments. Last week, to

Obama, gerrymandering was good, even if

it did dilute African-American

representation. This week,

gerrymandering is bad. It's

head-spinning, really. The obvious point

is that Obama and many other Democrats

are perfectly fine with gerrymandering

if it helps Democrats. That's really all

he and they care about, partisanship and

power. Look at Obama's home state of

Illinois, by the way. It's 14 to 3

Democrat to Republican in a state where

Donald Trump won 44% of the popular

vote, but Republicans get just 18% of

the congressional representation. This

is hardly a fair map. I bring it up

because I want you to hear from the

governor of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker.

Hear how he feels about the Supreme

Court's decision in cut number 16.

The decision by the Supreme Court today

on the Voting Rights Act is an

abomination. It is an attack on a crown

jewel of our democracy. We're not going

to stand for it in Illinois. We're going

to push back. We have options for

pushing back, and that is under

discussion with the legislature even

today.

Push back? Governor, what is there left

to take in Illinois? It is already one

of the craziest maps in the United

States. You do have to feel a little

sorry for House Democratic Leader Hakeem

Jeffries. Last week, he was promising

maximum warfare against the Republicans.

And this week, well, let's see. Florida

has redrawn its map to give the

Republicans a four-seat pickup, and now

the Supreme Court likely is costing

Jeffries several seats across the South.

Here is Hakeem Jeffries, cut number 17.

And now we're at a point

where affirmative action is gone,

diversity is gone, equity gone,

inclusion gone,

racial tolerance gone,

the Voting Rights Act largely gone.

To be honest, I could play that on a

loop all day long. One note, the state

of Louisiana is postponing its May 16th

House primaries after this Supreme Court

decision. Now, I'll be in Louisiana this

weekend, and I'll be broadcasting this

show from Louisiana Governor's Mansion

on Monday. Folks, we go where the news
