Hakeem Jeffries Calls Trump Admin ‘DEI Hires’ Like Pete Hegseth ‘Dumb Effing Individuals’

TRANSCRIPT:

JEFFRIES: “These DEI hires in the Trump Administration, like Pete Hegseth, the so-called Secretary of Defense — dumb effing individuals — continue to try to test our resolve and cancel our history. The latest is a book ban at the Naval Academy that removes works, including those about slavery, the Civil Rights Movement and the Holocaust — at the same time, keeping books written by Adolf Hitler. Apparently, for these extremists, racist Nazi ideology and white supremacy is okay. We’re going to keep the pressure on these extremists who continue to try to whitewash our history. They tried to cancel Jackie Robinson, we reversed it. They try to cancel Harriet Tubman, we reversed it. They tried to cancel the Tuskegee Airmen, we reversed it. We’re going to keep the pressure on until this book ban is reversed and Pete Hegseth is fired.”
