An incoming member of Congress said senior House Democrats have vowed to make his life “a living hell” and oust him in 2028 if he does not support Rep. Hakeem Jeffries’ speaker bid.
Rep.-elect Don Leonard (D-Ohio) said in a social media post that the senior members told him to vote for Jeffries regardless of whether the Democratic leader commits to addressing key issues, including a constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United decision and ending U.S. support for Israel and the war in Iran.
I hope every incoming rep-elect tells them to fuck off with this mafia shit and speaks out to the media about the threats they’re being subjected to.
Take it to the voters, we’re on their side. We’ll blast the offenders viciously. We voted for a new Democratic Party, and we aren’t going to let the people we voted AGAINST to go back to business as usual.
