Nancy Pelosi is not making life easy for Hakeem Jeffries. She has created a backlash over her objection to the invitation for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to speak to a joint session of Congress.
Former Speaker Pelosi chose Jeffries as her successor when she (finally) stepped back from party leadership. He seemed to be her protege, waiting in the wings for her to finally make her move. Jeffries became the first black American to lead a party in either chamber of the United States Congress.
There is a kerfuffle going on (you hate to see it happen) between the two since Pelosi decided to make her objections known that she does not approve of Netanyahu being allowed to speak. Netanyahu spoke to Congress in 2015, too. At that time he was sounding the alarm about Iran’s nuclear weapon program.
Now Netanyahu looks forward to addressing the Israel-Hamas war.
אני נרגש…
