• Constitution over cult

    "'Constitution over cult': Hakeem Jeffries' 'masterpiece' A to Z speech
    goes viral"

    "But before officially handing McCarthy the Speaker's gavel (the gavel
    the California Republican, months earlier, "joked" it "will be hard not
    to hit" Nancy Pelosi with) House Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem
    Jeffries launched into what some are calling a "masterpiece," his speech telling the entire House of Representatives why Democrats are better
    than Republicans, alphabetically – and without a teleprompter.

    "We will never compromise our principles," Leader Jeffries promised.
    "House Democrats will always put American values over autocracy,
    benevolence over bigotry, the Constitution over the cult, democracy over demagogues, economic opportunity over extremism, freedom over fascism, governing over gaslighting, hopefulness over hatred, inclusion over
    isolation, justice over judicial overreach, knowledge over kangaroo
    courts, liberty over limitation, maturity over Mar-a-Lago, normalcy over negativity, opportunity over obstruction, people over politics, quality
    of life issues over QAnon, reason over racism, substance over slander,
    triumph over tyranny, understanding over ugliness, voting rights over
    voter suppression, working families over the well-connected, xenial over xenophobia, 'Yes we can' over 'You can do it,' and zealous
    representation over zero-sum confrontation.""
