Did Kusher deliberately leak this meeting to the press to stoke division in the Democratic Party? Undoubtedly.
The fact that Jeffries didn’t see it coming is just as damning.
Hakeem Jeffries is absolutely incapable of/unwilling to appropriately meeting this moment.
Some of us have spent years attacking Schumer and Jeffries for being useless, spineless, weak leaders of the Dems in Congress and calling for them both to step aside (which 60%+ of Dem voters want). We have the receipts to prove it. I, for one, have been more vicious about Schumer than Jeffries.
So, for some loud but thankfully unrepresentative Black Dems on this hellsite to now claim that anti-Black racism is behind the very understandable anger at Jeffries for secretly meeting with Kushner is just so pathetic and dishonest, and the worst expression of Republican-caricatured 'identity politics.'
Y’all. WOW.
We were outspent 19-to-1 by the political establishment, and we won anyway. And now, in just 48 hours, tens of thousands of you have come together to put $1 million into this people-powered campaign. The average donation was $38.
That is incredible. THANK YOU.

Senator Bernie Sanders has been a champion for working people his entire career, and I’m proud to have stood alongside him in 2016 and to carry that fight forward today.
