Rep. Jeffries: We’re Going to Work Together in an All-Hands-on-Deck Effort to ‘Push Back Against the Far-Right Extremism’

RUSH EXCERPT:
JEFFRIES: “It’s my honor to be house democratic leader and we’re going to continue to work together in an all-hands-on-deck effort to push back against the far-right extremism that is being unleashed on this country with record velocity. We’ve got to fight in the courts, push back in the Congress and continue to push back in the community, and as House Democrats, we’re doing just that particularly as it relates to their efforts to not only jam these massive tax cuts down the throats of the American people for the wealthy, well off, and well connected, but they want to stick working class Americans and middle class Americans and everyday Americans with the bill by effectively ending health care as we know it, hurting children, hurting women, hurting people with disabilities, hurting older Americans, hurting everyday Americans by slashing and burning Medicaid to the ground, effectively trying to jam up the Affordable Care Act, and they’re going to target Social Security and Medicare. We’re pushing back forcefully against those efforts every day,”
