Rep.-elect Don Leonard of Ohio said Tuesday that “senior members of the Democratic House” have threatened to make his life “a living hell” unless he backs, without conditions, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to be the next Speaker of the House.

Yeah, so if they're threatening new members to make them vote for Jeffries in January, just imagine how strongly they're threatening anyone right now who even thinks about running against him, to make sure he'll be the only choice.

Notice how these assholes have no problem playing hardball against their own side while meekly going along with the other side. Like on the Hegeth impeachment vote. If they really wanted to get the job done on impeaching him, they'd have made damn sure they had the people there to vote. Which means they didn't want to, or they didn't want to do it now when it was a repub who introduced the bill, or some other shit reason. Just shows what their agenda really is, no matter what they pretend it is. At least this guy is brave enough to reveal their duplicity, then the people can be the ones primarying them next time.
