WATCH: CNBC Makes Hakeem Jeffries Squirm Over Mamdani Radicals Winning Dem Primaries #Political
CNBC addressed the elephant in the room with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) over communist Mamdani radicals winning their respective primaries against entrenched Democrat incumbents in the Big Apple. Jeffries’ canned response: Muh, but Trump!
Squawk Box co-anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin cornered Jeffries June 25 over the antisemitic, pro-Hamas, America-hating sentiments spewed by House candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier, who was endorsed by extremist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D).
Despite Sorkin pointing out disturbing anecdotes like Chevalier’s leadership of the anti-Israel protests at Columbia University following the October 7 genocide or her call for abolishing police, Jeffries did the do-si-do and instead pivoted attacked Trump and the GOP, which literally had nothing to do with the initial question:
Her views are clearly not my views, and that should be obvious to everyone in terms of what brings Democrats together … The smash and grab program that Donald Trump has been running, the largest pay to play scheme in the history of the country is completely and totally unacceptable … That's what the best of America has always been, and that's social security. That’s Medicare. That's Medicaid. That's the Affordable Care Act, that's veterans’ benefits. That's nutritional assistance — the very thing Republicans are trying to destroy right now.
Co-anchor Joe Kernen didn’t let Jeffries off the hook and pinned him against the proverbial wall. “I remember last time you were on and you said almost the same thing that you just said, and we all nod.” Kernen continued: “And I know it takes time from the interview and everything, but it doesn't really answer the question that Andrew said.” Kernen further criticized that Jeffries’ non-answer “totally shifted from what we're talking about is whether when the Democratic Party includes someone in that tent that believes these things.”
@JoeSquawk gave @RepJeffries a layup of an opportunity to separate the Democratic Party from the crazy communist, anti-Semitic Mamdani-ites that won their New York primaries. Jeffries Response? "Muh, but Trump." pic.twitter.com/qT7wL1kNtw

Kernen stipulated that having people with bona fide extremist policy positions aren’t “going to solve what you just talked about, or an answer to any of our problems that you delineate so eloquently. They were saying, ‘You're next’ about Hakeem Jeffries. ‘You're next! You're next! You're next!’ You can't — you can't think this is a positive development in New York politics, can you?” The Squawk Box personality then put Jeffries on the spot, “You need to reject — you need to reject those things!”
Jeffries clearly didn’t take too kindly to the line of questioning, as he tried cutting Kernen off. He then offered a pathetic, incoherent defense before pivoting once again to the president, repeating the same disingenuous misdirection Kernen accused him of making:
First of all, first of all, I've clearly rejected those things. That's number one. Number two. And my record speaks for itself. This is not a ‘Dems will be Dems’ situation. Donald Trump is the president of the United States of America right now. Are you kidding me?
