Those who have never gone without health care, secure housing, clean drinking water, or regular meals can never understand the urgency of those who do.
Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.
His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”
He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”
He’s gonna lose the primary.
He wins.
He’s gonna lose the general.
He wins.
He’s gonna win only narrowly.
He wins by 7.
All the while, record levels of money spent against him; the president and media target him daily with racist abuse; and his former Dem rival endorses his GOP opponent.
But apparently, he is an ‘under performer.’ 🤷🏽♂️
