Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has had a meteoric rise in Congress. The attorney-turned-politician is the chair of the House Democratic Caucus. In January, he was tapped to be one of seven House managers to present the case for impeachment to the United States Senate.
This makes his response to the sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden — Jeffries said it must be thoroughly investigated — all the more telling.
Per The Hill:
Jeffries added that he still had to “delve deeper” into the allegations and was “not really in a position to say what is the appropriate mechanism” as he had been prioritizing responding to the coronavirus.
Reade came forward last month with allegations that Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993 while she worked for the then-Delaware senator. Her claim began to pick up traction when a former neighbor of Reade’s came forward to say that Reade told her about the allegation in the mid-1990s, marking the first time the accusation was corroborated on the record.
Jeffries’s remarks appear to be the furthest any Democrat has gone when talking about Reade’s accusation.
It’s unclear if Biden’s statement today about the allegation will assuage Jeffries’ concerns.
Several Democrats, including Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) and Stacey Abrams, a potential running mate for Biden, have defended the former vice president and said they believe his campaign’s denial. (RELATED: Every Reporter Who Has Ignored the Biden Sexual Assault Allegation)

HELP Expose the TRUTH About Creepy Joe Biden
Sounds like Hakeem sees himself as Michelle’s running mate on the ticket if he can push out Joe Biden.
Another self serving Libtard.
Another Moslem Hadji in our Govt! Just what we Really Need! We’ll all be bowing to Mecca soon!
This will be Joes last will and testament, I Joe says, come on women, I twiddled de deed you, enjoy it.
Just because Dementia Joe can’t remember does not mean it did not happen. He can’t treat this denial as another gaffe if/when the truth is determined. Like the Kennedys and Clintons he expects the MSM to ignore the Biden sexual assault accusations. How can the DEMs [and the DEM voters] offer such a doddering, old white guy as their leader. Party of diversity my donkey!
“First of all let me say I believe Dr. Blasey-Reade” said Congressman Richard “Dick” Blumenthal, before getting confused and rephrasing it “er, I mean Dr. Tara Ford”, Blumenthal stammers “I meant to say Dr. Tara Reade, I mean Tara Reade, … oh hell, I believe all women, no that isn’t right either”. Blumenthal passes out in front of microphone while the esteemed dimwit from Hawaii, congresswoman Maizie Hirono jumps at her chance to be in front of the media one more time, unknowingly repeats “I believe all women” until a reporter reminds her that this woman has accused Joe Biden of sexual misconduct, at which point congresswoman Hirono supports Joe Biden for his decision to undergo sexual reassignment surgery so that Mazie can once again proudly proclaim “I BELIEVE ALL WOMEN!”
Outstanding.
Refreshing to see that Hakeem is stepping outside the Dem inner circle. It amazes me that more Congresswomen are not doing the same. An investigation is warranted just like what happened to Kavanagh. #metoo can’t be too happy with Dem response so far.
Seriously, who gives a flying ‘f#€!<' at what's 'coming-out' of a libturd's mouth? Except for 'fake news'…

What is in it for Mr Jeffries?
Politicians are predators….and WE are the prey.
Yep.
The majority of Democrats are proving that truth does not matter to them, that they are just all about power at any cost. Their two faced true selves are shining bright!
Diejenigen, bei denen die Lüge zu Hause ist, beschuldigen diejenigen, die die Wahrheit sagen, permanent der Lüge ! Das seit einigen hundert Jahren das ganz normale Verhältnis zwischen verlogenen Linken/Sozialisten und konservativen Patrioten.
Da mindestens die Hälfte der Medien rotlinks orientiert sind, wiederholen sie die Lügen der sozialistischen Lügner; in der Bevölkerung heißt es danach, es könnte ja was dran gewesen sein. Die schlimmste Pandemie heutzutage ist der Lügenvirus (dem-2020/lies), nicht Corona.
Klaus: Danke schoen. Sie haben recht!!!

The Dems need to get real or they will lose the House and probably a majority of the Senate as the economy will come roaring back in the 4th quarter and will be on it’s way in the 3rd.
Great a Democrat that can think for himself?
Not this one!
Well, Well, As the Story unfolds, We see the inevitable happening as Democrats posture up to distance themselves from Sick Uncle “C’mon Man” Joe Biden ! He is being nudged,very carefully out of the center stage position so it doesn’t look so suspicious, as planned.
Dems are playing the waiting game till Convention time to announce their “Real Candidate”
“GOD frustrates the plans of the schemers so the work of their hands will not succeed. GOD traps the wise in their own cleverness so their cunning schemes are thwarted.” (Job 5) I send these WORDS of GOD to MANIFEST THROUGHOUT the Biden’s situation, GOD’S TRUTH, JUSTICE, FAIRNESS AND HONESTY Will come forth and expose then destroy all works of lies, wickedness, evil actions, cover ups and all ungodliness. I decree in JESUS NAME
“
Amen
?????????????
Surprise a dim wit who believes what is good for the dim wit defenders is good for the republican defenders. Thus far it is a dim wit woman saying old Joe is a predator. Guess the Ford dim wit with no proof at all after forty years plus claiming a sexual daliance among teenagers against her will though she was at a party not okayed by her parents who never heard her tale ever nor anyone else was better received by the regular old dim wits and me too screechers since it was all about an SC judge and obviously a reason to be absolutely disgraceful morons in the SC chambers.
But seeing even one dim wit step up and see the logic here is refreshing. Maybe this guy is someone to watch. Not just a bee in the beehive directed by old queenie bee Nanc and the old drone bee Schmucky.
Jefferies seems to believe it doesn’t whose finger.
Jefferies believes it shouldn’t matter what party’s finger was inserted.,which goes against Dems
only Republican fingers matter.
When Joe lies habitually and some people call it gaffes God turns you over to a strong delusion to believe a lie and be damned because he rejected the knowledge of the truth and had pleasure in unrighteousness. We are in the end times before the rapture of the true born again washed in the blood of Jesus, church. You are either a child of God or a child of Satan, this is separation time true from the false, good against evil. Jesus said, “That Satan came to steal, kill, and destroy and Satan is a liar from the beginning and the father of ALL lies.” Takes no genius to see who is who in the crowd.
Stacey Abrams, another good Democrat, quote ”I believe women, and I believe survivors of violence always deserve to be supported and to have their voices heard.” All Rape accusers must be believed, women like Crystal Magnum, Susan Shannon, ”Jackie” of the UVA, Columbia’s ‘Mattress Girl’, Emma Sulkowicz, Wanetta Gibson, Tawana Brawley, Gregory Counts and Van Dyke Perry’s accuser, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Julie Swetnick etc.. They would never lie, unless Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Keith Ellison, Anthony Weiner, Robert Müeller, Al Franken, etc. are accused.
The Democrats were still backing Biden that’s why they were ignoring Reade’s allegations. As more evidence comes out backing her story and the evidence of Biden’s rapid mental decline, it is giving them an out to push him out and bring in someone more to their liking, like Hillary or Michelle Obama.
The Biden skiff has definitely started sprinting leaks.
