Browbeating Liberal Pundit Joy Reid Defends Left-Wing Journalist Who Called Hakeem Jeffries ‘AIPAC Monkey’

Mediaite.com:

Joy Reid defended left-wing Palestinian journalist Rula Jebreal for branding House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) an “AIPAC monkey,” with the former cable news star arguing Jebreal was just ignorant to how the term could be perceived as racist because she wasn’t born in the USA.

Reid backed up Jebreal during the Friday episode of her YouTube show, three days after the now-viral comment was made. “Sometimes even our friends can get it wrong. They can stumble over trying to make a point that maybe there’s a cultural disconnection that causes that point to go askew and go awry,” Reid said.

She claimed Jebreal using the term “monkey” to refer to a Black lawmaker was different than if a right-winger had done it, since conservatives tend to be “absolutely malicious.” Instead, Jebreal simply didn’t understand the racial aspect to what she was saying — which made sense, considering she was born in Israel and was of Afro-Palestinian heritage, Reid argued.

First of all, Joy Reid is trash. From her lying back in the day about old blog posts that condemned homosexuality to her MSNBC run where all she did every day was blast Trump and the GOP while never holding Democrats accountable for anything to her getting fired from her job over bad ratings to her foolish and totally dense rant after the 2024 presidential election, claiming that Kamala Harris 'ran a flawless campaogn', Reid has proven to be an insufferable, angry, black tyrant that even the lily-white bosses at MSNOW got tired of and kicked to the curb. Keep in mind too that Reid didn't start talking about the genocide in Gaza until it was convenient, late in the run to the election when she finally started to notice that it could effect Kamala's ability to win. That said, now Reid is back to her old self: plantation Democrat propaganda, blaming everything on the GOP, name-calling anyone who dares to disagree with her (or steps out of line with Democrats) and apparently being go-to OG for far-Left hacks like Wajahat Ali to run to when they platform racists like Rula Jebreal. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Congressional Black Caucus Condemns Palestinian Journalist Rula Jebreal Over ‘AIPAC Monkey’ Slur Against Hakeem Jeffries

i24News.com:

The Congressional Black Caucus condemned Palestinian journalist Rula Jebreal for using “openly bigoted” language after she called House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries an “AIPAC monkey” and an “errand boy.” 

 

“To be clear, there isn’t a non-racist way to call Leader Jeffries, a Black man, a ‘monkey’ or ‘errand boy,’” the caucus said. Addressing podcast host Wajahat Ali, it added: “This is what happens when we hold ourselves to such low standards for what’s allowable in our discourse. People get comfortable being openly bigoted.” 

 

“We have to stop platforming and trafficking in anti-Black racism, whether it’s on the political right or the left,” the group added. Jebreal made the remarks during an appearance on Ali’s “The Left Hook” podcast while attacking Jeffries over his support for Israel. “He is a bought and paid by AIPAC monkey,” she said, immediately adding that she did not mean the comment “in a racist way.” She then described Jeffries as “basically an errand boy.”

There's plenty out there that you can dislike about Hakeem Jeffries, but resorting to racism to disparage him and get your point across is simply egregious and kind of ironic when you consider Jebreal's history of left-wing propaganda. Then too for the podcast host Wajahat Ali--a well-known "progressive", far-Left hack, all-around scumbag and Blue MAGA schmuck--to just sit there and nod his head along while Jebreal veered into racist tropes, makes him just as complicit in this mess. It should also be no surprise too that only after the blowback did Jebreal apologize on Twitter and to Ali (who ironically ran to Joy Reid's horrible podcast afterwards to protect him from all the Democrats ire, where she defended them) for an interview that will certainly hurt the DSA and pro-Palestinian advocates going forward.

2 House Democrats Vote to Rescue the Republican Legislative Agenda

Politico.com:

A pair of House Democrats voted to rescue the Republican legislative agenda Tuesday as GOP leaders faced an internal revolt, an extremely rare crossing of party lines that pushed a key procedural vote through a closely divided chamber. 

 

Democratic Reps. Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington voted with most Republicans to set up debate on a series of GOP-led bills, including a resolution condemning socialism that party leaders want to use to hammer Democrats on the campaign trail.

The two Democrats were decisive in the 210-208 vote, where five Republicans had broken ranks over frustrations with how party leaders had handled an earlier vote on government spending. While House members routinely cross party lines on legislation, it is almost unheard for minority members to break ranks and vote for the “rules” the majority uses to set the floor agenda. Golden and Gluesenkamp Perez are both members of the moderate Blue Dog Democrats, and Golden is not seeking reelection in November.

Golden and Perez are receiving a ton of backlash from Dems for their votes, but not only do they deserve props for standing up for their constituents, but plenty of praise for representing what's left of the moderate wing of the Democrat party. A section that's literally on life support thanks to the Party's far-Left ideological takeover. Of course, who knows what happens from here, but this is also a huge win for Mike Johnson. And with Democratic leaders effectively surrendering control of the party to the DSA, abandoning centrists while protecting socialists shows a complete lack the courage to challenge the party’s leftward shift.

Virginia Supreme Court Strikes Down Democrats’ Redrawn US House Maps

APNews.com:

The Virginia Supreme Court on Friday struck down a voter-approved Democratic congressional redistricting plan, delivering another major setback to the party in a nationwide battle against Republicans for an edge in this year’s midterm elections. 

 

The court ruled 4-3 that the state’s Democratic-led legislature violated procedural requirements when it placed the constitutional amendment on the ballot to authorize mid-decade redistricting. Voters narrowly approved the amendment on April 21, but the court’s ruling renders the vote’s result meaningless. 

 

Writing for the majority, Justice D. Arthur Kelsey wrote that the legislature submitted the proposed constitutional amendment to voters “in an unprecedented manner.” “This violation irreparably undermines the integrity of the resulting referendum vote and renders it null and void,” he wrote.

Putting aside the giddiness that Democrats and the mainstream media showed when this redistricting plan first passed on the Virginia ballot last week, there’s also a sense of political karma at play here. After all, newly elected Virginia governor Abigail Spanberger (who presented herself to voters on the campaign trail as a “moderate Democrat” despite governing from the far left) knowingly violated the Virginia Constitution in an effort to disenfranchise millions of Republican voters in her state. An obnoxious and deceitful plan designed to do whatever it took to help Democrats retake the House in November. Instead, thanks to this ruling, the Constitution prevailed, and Spanberger gets handed a deeply humiliating defeat..

President Trump and Zohran Mamdani Will Meet at White House on Friday

NYTimes.com:

Zohran Mamdani, who ran for mayor of New York City in part on a promise to stand up to President Trump, will meet with the president at the White House on Friday, weeks before taking office. Mr. Trump announced the meeting on social media on Wednesday night, saying that Mr. Mamdani had asked for it and labeling him incorrectly as the “Communist Mayor of New York City.” Mr. Mamdani is a democratic socialist. 

 

Mr. Mamdani, who has fiercely criticized the president’s immigration policies and threats to cut federal funding to the city, confirmed the meeting in a statement. He said in an interview on MS NOW on Wednesday night that his team had reached out to speak to Mr. Trump about New Yorkers’ concerns. 

 

“I want to just speak plainly to the president about what it means to actually stand up for New Yorkers and the way in which New Yorkers are struggling to afford this city,” Mr. Mamdani said.

You just know that this meeting with Trump is making Mamdani stans nervous, especially when word has it that the NYC mayor-elect is already walking back some campaign promises after getting guidance from political insiders. Then too is the fact that a city (no matter how large) mayor only has so much power at their disposal. There's also Mamdani (to his fans chagrin) recently choosing to bring back NYPD commish Jennifrer Tisch and the fact that NY's current governor (who'll play a huge part in Mamdani's proposed policies getting through) Kathy Hochul is in a tight race poll-wise with Elise Stefanik for who's going to be the next governor of the state. In other words, it's already looking like all the pre-election hyperbole about Mamdani turning NYC into a 'communist-state' if he wins, might have been overblown.
