Hakeem Jeffries Revives ‘We Don’t Believe in Election Denial’ Lie During House Speaker Vote Session
“Two months ago, the American people elected Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States of America. Thank you for that very generous applause. It’s okay. There are no election deniers on our side of the aisle.”
Democrats are notorious for being good at things that few would brag about being good at, and one of those is being guilty of things that they often accuse their political opponents of doing.
On Friday, not long after Republicans voted to keep Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) as the House Speaker, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) took to the podium to give a speech.
In it, he thanked Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for all he said they’d done while in office. He also talked about things he believes Democrats will do in the 119th Congress and remarked about what he believed the party was and wasn’t.
One thing they weren’t, he proclaimed, was “election deniers”:
Two months ago, the American people elected Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States of America. Thank you for that very generous applause. It’s okay. There are no election deniers on our side of the aisle.
One should love America—One should love America when you win and when you lose. That’s the patriotic thing to do and that’s the America that House Democrats will fight hard to preserve, because we love this country.

It’s an argument Jeffries has made several times before, including after the November elections when he made the following statement in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s victory over Harris:
I am proud that the Democratic Party does not believe in election denial. Our Democracy is precious and it involves elevating public trust in our system of free and fair elections, not undermining it.
We cannot love America only when we win.
The American people have spoken. I congratulate President-elect Donald J. Trump.
It’s also an argument, of course, that isn’t true – starting with Jeffries himself, who repeatedly questioned the legitimacy of the 2016 presidential election while Trump was in office.
The receipts are voluminous:

And as Legal Insurrection readers know, it’s not just Jeffries. It’s the whole lot of them, with twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton leading the pack.
Here’s a quick montage:
Trump has been criticized for being an “election denier” but everyone seems to have forgotten the MANY times Democrats have denied election results.

Hillary Clinton has now denied the 2000 election, 2004 election, 2016 election and elections that haven’t even happened yet.

In the summer of 2020, she was openly saying Joe Biden should not concede the election “under any circumstances”:
"Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances. Because I think this is going to drag out. Eventually I do believe he will win if we don't give an inch. And if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is"

And let us not forget the twice-failed Georgia Democrat gubernatorial nominee, Stacey Abrams, repeatedly engaging in election denialism:

There’s even a 24-minute video out there of Democrats including Clinton and many others calling into question election results:

There are many Democrats out there today who cut their teeth on George W. Bush’s election victory over Al Gore in 2000, an election that many of them to this day still believe was stolen.
Terry McAuliffe, in fact, openly talked about it during his failed Virginia gubernatorial bid in 2021:

As we’ve seen with Clinton, Abrams, McAuliffe, Jeffries, and many others on the left, remember that questioning the results of an election and casting doubts about its legitimacy (and in some cases even taking legal action) is (D)ifferent when Democrats do it. Every single time.

Of course he was lying – his lips were moving
He breathes, he lies.
If he wasn’t lying why didn’t he withdraw as a nominee for Speaker? The party in power has always elected the Speaker of the House.
If Barak Obama had Hakeem Jeffrie’s eyes, you would have:
a. the Anti-Christ
b. the scariest fooker on earth
c a great looking halloween dude
d. a typical democrat
e. All of the above.
One has to understand that leftists only want their voters and listeners to pay attention to The Last Thing I Said™.
And since a person has to be irrational, if not cognitively impaired, to embrace progressivism, this is a reasonable expectation. Which is why their politicians and spokesmen never bother about truth or accuracy in their statements, since its not required, or possibly even understood, by their voters.
It’s never “election denial,” when the sainted Dhimmi-crats do it; then, it’s “defending democracy.” Just as their rioting, looting, arson, criminal assaults, insurrection, etc., are “mostly peaceful” “protest.”
To quote Big Daddy Pollitt in Tennessee William’s “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”,
“What’s that smell in this room? … Didn’t you notice a powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room? There ain’t nothin’ more powerful than the odor of mendacity.”
Hakeem thinks we have no eyes or a memory.
Hakeem spends way too much time with Democrat voters.
I would love for just one Republican to run that video every time they get up to speak, and ask Jeffries if he would like an opportunity to recant his statement. And keep doing that for effect until either one of them leaves office, or Jeffries recants (which I don’t think will ever happen).
Ok I suppose Rep Jefferies believes we don’t recall the statements and actions by members of his Political Party, some still serving in the current Congress, to the contrary post the elections of 2000 and 2016 among others. Sorry sir, today isn’t day one of year zero and attempting to disregard easily proven recent historical facts is abysmally stupid and ham handed.
For decades though they were able to get away with it because the old legacy media would only report what the Democrats wanted. Even not long ago they could mostly get away with it. The big change has been Musk buying Twitter that now allows information to get by the censors. I am hoping that the next domino to fall will be Google forced to divest from YouTube and free speech to flourish there as well.
The Democrats hands aren’t clean for sure. But no Democrat told repeated lies about non-existent election fraud encouraging morons to storm the Capitol. THat was a national disgrace and in a normal,rational world would have completely disqualified Trump as being unfit for office. But here we are. 3 frauds,sexual assault, felon. SMH
Yet you fail to acknowledge the lawfare used corruptly by democrats and those in our government to falsely derail Trump’s life, wealth and ambitions to return to the White House. You may not like him or his policies but the extent that unethical acts were used against him will be one of the worst stains on our country’s history.
oh cut the crap. “lawfare’ . The cult’s word of the year. He’s an honest straight up guy who never does anything wrong- they’re just out to get him,right? Wake the F….up. He’s a sleazebag whose whole adult life has been sleaze. He has lost 6 court case .3 frauds sexual,assault ,libel. felony. In what bizarro world is a s-stain like that qualified for any office let alone President.? He has 3 more indictments out there and there is MOUNTAIN of credible evidence that says he is guilty of all 3.
When they find Epstein’s portrait of Trump in a blue dress, maybe I’ll start to care about your oh-so-damning sexual allegations
