   House Democrats voted Wednesday to make Rep. Hakeem Jeffries their leader in the next Congress, replacing 82-year-old Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Jeffries won the post in an uncontested election after Pelosi and the two other incumbent members of the Democratic leadership, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, opted to step down. Jeffries, a 52-year-old New Yorker, will be the first African American to serve as House Democratic leader.

"Leadership is incredibly important," said Jeffries. "When we get an opportunity as diverse leaders to serve in positions of consequence, the most meaningful thing we can do in that space is an incredibly good job."

House Democrats also elected Massachusetts Rep. Katherine Clark to serve as Democratic Whip. California Rep. Pete Aguilar was elected to serve as chairman of the House Democratic caucus. Both Clark and Aguilar served in leadership under Pelosi for the past two years.

Gut says he's weak and not leadership material, aka another diversity hire.

So, an election denier is now the head of the DNC faction in the House.

How many boxes did he check off to get the gig?

How many boxes did he check off to get the gig?

I just told the VA that I am a lesbian trapped in the body of a man, and I NEVER check White/Caucasian on the 'race' list. I realize that this is a joke as old as time, but I did it ... for real. Some counselor asked me how I "identify" as a person. And that is what I said. Although it is an obvious joke to all of us, liberals take that horseshit nonsense seriously. As if it is a real thing. Cannot say how many boxes I have checked as far as the government is concerned. Several, at least.

It is not about, "If you cannot beat them, join them."
For me it is more about, "If you cannot beat them, then F**k um!" <- Chief Bleach-blood Elizabeth Warren is my role model. Her blood type is Clorox, and she fooled the Liberal idiots for decades that she is a "person of color". If you believe it, then it is true.

As White Christian female with blonde/gray hair and blue eyes, I now identify as a complete misfit that is royally screwed.

Well... now you know (in no uncertain terms) who we are up against.

What we get when fools believe they are not accountable for the wicked reprobates they elect for office.

It may have more to do with keeping the House Speaker within the orbit of large limousine liberal donors from New York, Massachusetts, and California.

A midwest, west, or southern Dem may not be liberally extreme enough for the DNC's biggest donors.
