Watch the dumbest person in Congress, Hakeem Jeffries, dodge a question and get his ass handed to him by Becky Quick on CNBC’s Squawk Box. Damn that dude is fucking dumb! Jeffries has the same problem of making ridiculous word salads that Kamala Harris has, but Jeffries bullshit is simple to see through.
Hakeem Jeffries melts down on Squawk Box after Becky Quick calls his bluff on health care negotiations, and exposes that Democrats may not actually want a deal at all.
She kept coming right at him and he lost it at the end.

I’ve actually watched CNBC a few times throughout the past month, and to my shock wasn’t as completely repulsed by what I saw as I had been in the past. It seems that there are some changes being made, which doesn’t make me a fan, but it’s a good sign.
QUICK: “If this is something that you want to satiate, if you want to get done, you are going to need at least some Republicans to come over.”
“Why not start with a one year extension or potentially even a two year extension?”
JEFFRIES: “Well, Leader Schumer offered a one year extension in the context of trying to end the Trump Republican shutdown. And that was—”
Quick cut him off immediately.
QUICK: “But that’s different, I’m talking about what you have now. Let’s not go back to what’s done in the past and what’s not been extended.”
“If you want to get something actually done, you need to do something that will have bipartisanship.”
“Let’s not go back.”Jeffries started to unravel.
JEFFRIES: “If you’re gonna…You can…you can ask me the question, I’ll provide the answer.”
QUICK: “Answer the question, instead of going back!”
JEFFRIES: “No, no, I’m providing an answer in order to provide context. Republicans have repeatedly refused to take yes for an answer… So having that context is absolutely important, regardless of what you may think.”
Then Becky Quick landed the knockout blow.
QUICK: “It’s important context to make me realize that I don’t think you want to get a deal done. I think this is something where you’d like to see the rates go higher and allow the Republicans to hang themselves with that.”
“Is that the answer? Is this politics?”
Jeffries snapped.
JEFFRIES: “That’s absolutely…that’s absolutely a ridiculous assertion!”
“And really, shame…shame on you for saying that because we’re fighting! It’s not a partisan issue for us!”
“In fact, the states that are most impacted… are all Republican states.”QUICK: “I know. That’s why you probably have some Republicans who would sign on if you guys could come up with something that actually looks like a bipartisan deal.”
