...it's tiresome, and only points to their own inability or lack of concern to go and look to see what he's said out of the reams of statements, appearances, and writings that he's made since he was voted to lead hundreds of Democrats, BY those same Democrats.
NONE of the critics had a vote in that, and none that had a vote is making this sort of criticism.

Hakeem Jeffries Faces Backlash Over ‘Fight In The Streets’ Comment
"Everyday New Yorkers and everyday Americans are under assault by an extreme MAGA Republican agenda that is trying to cut taxes for billionaire donors and wealthy corporations and then stick New Yorkers and working-class Americans across the country with the bill," Jeffries said. "That's not acceptable."
QUESTION: You said that you don't want to swing at everything, but do you think it's appropriate that this city has a mayor who isn't swinging? And do you think he's a good fit for the city as mayor right now?
REP. HAKEEM JEFFRIES: Yeah, I have more to say about the future of the mayorship of the city of New York at the appropriate time. Right now, we're going to keep focused on the need to look out for everyday New Yorkers and everyday Americans, who are under assault by an extreme MAGA Republican agenda that is trying to cut taxes for billionaire donors and wealthy corporations and then stick New Yorkers and working-class Americans across the country with the bill.
That's not acceptable.
We are going to fight it legislatively. We are going to fight it in the courts. And we're gonna fight it in the streets.
