Hakeem Jeffries on Meeting with Jared Kushner: ‘Jared Asked for the Meeting and I Agreed to Have It’

EXCERPT:

JEFFRIES: “Well, thank you, Don. And, you know, Jared asked for the meeting and I agreed to have it because we’ve made it clear as House Democrats, and I said this during the opening day of this congressional session, that we’re going to be focused on pushing back against the extremism being unleashed on the American people and continuing to battle them on all the things in order to end this national nightmare. But at the same period of time, we recognize that the American people want us to get things done whenever and wherever possible, particularly as it relates to the affordability crisis that is suffocating the American people. Folks are drowning in this failed economy. Everyday Americans, hardworking Americans, black and brown Americans, rural Americans, everybody suffering in this failed economy. They want us to get things done.”
