The Democratic internal struggle heats up: the far left targeted leader Hakeem Jeffries and accused him of selling out

Far-left activists interrupted an interview being conducted by the Democratic leader in the House of Representatives, New York Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, calling him a "traitor" and demanding he be impeached.

"Why should we trust you when you're in the pocket of corporations and accept money from private equity funds?" shouted the far-left crowd at Jeffries while he was speaking at an event in Colorado. "You're a damn liar! The American people demanded impeachment!" they added, "90% of the Democrats you pretend to lead."

Jeffries paused as the protester was escorted out of the room. However, the man continued shouting and insulting the Democratic leader. "You're a damn traitor! You're a damn lapdog of the oligarchs!" he insisted. Shortly after, another protester confronted Jeffries and yelled, "Why should we vote for you when you're in the pocket of [inaudible] and accept money from private equity funds? You don't fight for the people!".

The entire interruption, which lasted about two minutes, was recorded by cameras broadcasting the conference live on television. While the event managed to continue normally, it is widely known that the far-left socialist wing of the Democratic Party is struggling to prevent Jeffries from taking the reins as Speaker of the House in January following the midterm election victory.

Other Democrats advocate for avoiding controversies and are rallying behind the party's old guard. One of them is James Talarico, who won a seat in the U.S. Senate from Texas. "We can't play it safe. We can't get bogged down in the same petty fights. We can't settle for superficial measures or results that people won't feel for another decade," said the elected senator.
