Hakeem Jeffries: Democrats Who Stormed the Newark, NJ Ice Facility Did Nothing Wrong
EXCERPT:
JEFFRIES: “There is zero basis to hold any member of Congress accountable, either as a result of House floor action or activity based on weaponizing federal law enforcement against members of the Democratic Party. There’s no evidence to suggest that any member of Congress who was in Newark, visiting the detention facility in connection with their oversight authority, has done anything wrong. No videos have been produced suggesting that they’ve engaged in any inappropriate activity. And if those videos existed, certainly they would have been put into the public domain by now. Those videos haven’t been released because they don’t exist. The members of Congress, Bonnie Watson Coleman, LaMonica McIver, and Rob Menendez, were the ones who were subjected to overly aggressive behavior by people who are weaponizing the authority of the federal government as part of some effort to try to intimidate House Democrats. It’s not happening. They will not be successful as it relates to their efforts to intimidate us. Not today, not tomorrow, not next week, not next month, not next year, not ever.”
