Specters: Dem Hakeem Jeffries Says the ‘Ghosts of the Confederacy’ Are Haunting the Nation
 
Warren Squire  | 3:52 AM on May 14, 2026
   
Red state redistricting is causing panic in the Democrat Party. The advent of redrawn congressional maps favoring Republicans is making it unlikely that Democrats will retake the House of Representatives in the upcoming midterm election. Not only that, Republicans are splitting up blue race-based congressional districts due to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling them unconstitutional. Democrats are fuming that they will no longer benefit from racism. Aw, too bad. Democrat Hakeem Jeffries is not handling his party’s recent misfortunes very well.
 

He’s ranting about Jim Crow and ‘the ghosts of the Confederacy.' (READ)

LMFAO!! Hakeem Jeffries just had a schizophrenic MELTDOWN on camera as his party gets pummeled in redistricting, and can no longer benefit from race-drawn seats

"The GHOSTS of the Confederacy has afflicted the United States Supreme Court majority, and is INVADING and HAUNTING the nation right now!"

"We know this unprecedented assault on black political representation, the likes of which we have not seen since the Jim Crow era."

I happened to listen to his "news conference" yesterday, for the first time, and was immediately struck by what a dumbass he is.  His response to every question had something to do with bashing Trump, republicans, and the courts.  Not one constructive answer.  Of course, the questions were given to the allied reporters, I'm sure, since they so perfectly fit into the bashing spree.  Democrats may have as well made Hank Johnson (who one asked an Admiral if he was worried Guam might tip over) minority leader because Jeffries is sure to keep democrats that way.  Either can marginalize democrats but Johnson would be funnier. *****rollingeyes*****

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
Yes Hakeem, you Rats are still trying to keep Blacks separated on the plantation while essentially ignoring every other ethnic group in the country.

You're just mad you lost your vote grift.
The Republic is lost.

Hack-em is low energy and a low I.Q. Dem.  When he talks you can see his brain buffering.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
So, the ghosts of the Confederacy have him 'spooked'?

It's in retaliation for tall the statues torn down. If they had just left them up, the spirits of the dead wouldn't be roaming the land...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Well, he's got a point.  State nullification of Federal law, a Confederate favorite, keeps being tried.  Of course, just as it was back in the old days, it's Hakeem's party that keeps trying it.  And the foundations of Federal bureaucratic bloat and the "deep state" are to be found in Woodrow Wilson's imitation of the central government of the Confederacy, which he regarded as superior to the Federal government as he found it when he was elected.

I think it more important to exorcise the second of those ghosts than the first, since the courts keep invalidating attempts at nullification no matter how often it's tried.

And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.
