  • You've got to hand it to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries: He's not a man who lets reality or self-awareness get in his way. On Friday, the new 119th Congress came into session and elected its leaders.

The article from MSN discusses an incident involving Hakeem Jeffries, the House Minority Leader, who claimed during a press conference that there are no election deniers on the Democratic side. This statement was quickly challenged by a reporter who reminded him of Democratic Representative Bennie Thompson's refusal to certify the 2016 election results. Jeffries responded by clarifying that he was referring to the 2020 election, not past elections, and emphasized that Democrats have consistently supported the integrity of the 2020 election. The article highlights the ongoing political tension and the selective memory or framing of election integrity issues by both parties, illustrating how political figures often tailor their statements to fit current narratives.
