From Occupy Democrats, who gave blanket permission for this to be shared widely:
BREAKING: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries VERBALLY DISMEMBERS a MAGA congressman for ambushing him in the hallway: "Did your boss, Donald Trump, give you permission?"
And he was just getting warmed up. This is exactly the kind of humiliation that these Republican cowards deserve...
"Will you sign on right now?" Republican Congressman Mike Lawler asked Jeffries, trying to get him to cave to Donald Trump to end the government shutdown.
Lawler wanted Jeffries to support a temporary extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies. Democrats are digging in for their constituents and are refusing to budge unless a longer extension is granted. They have the leverage and they're putting it to use for the American people.
"Let me ask you a question," shot back Jeffries. "Did you get permission from your boss? Did your boss Donald Trump give you permission?"
"He's not my boss," insisted an angry Lawler.
"Yes he is," mocked Jeffries.
"No he's not!" whined Lawler. "And by the way—"
"You're making a show of this to make yourself relevant," said Jeffries. "You're embarrassing yourself right now. You're chasing a crowd. You're an embarrassment."
"You have to sign on to the bill," replied Lawler.
"Let me ask you a question. You voted for the 'one big ugly bill,' correct?" said Jeffries
"I voted for a tax cut bill that gave the largest tax cut to Americans in history. Are you against that?" said Lawler.
In reality, the so-called "big, beautiful bill" was one of the worst pieces of legislation in American history. It funneled massive amounts of wealth to the super-rich while slashing $1 trillion from Medicaid. It has proven extremely unpopular with the American people.
"You're embarrassing yourself right now," Jeffries said. "The largest cut to Medicaid in American history. You voted for that."
Lawler continued to ramble, trying to push false MAGA talking points.
"Listen, you're not going to talk to me and talk over me because you don't want to hear what I have to say," said Jeffries. "So why don't you just keep your mouth shut? Because you showed up and so you voted for this 'one big ugly bill, a permanent extension of massive tax breaks for your billionaire donors," he added.
This is how it's done. Democrats must stand their ground every single time, get under these Republicans' skin with mockery, and then destroy them with cold hard facts.
