"'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.""
