Sometimes, when someone has balls of brass, it’s necessary to grab each one and clang them together until they break and the owner is sobbing. Here’s Rep Jeffries (D-NY) doing just that to new member of the House Rep Burgess Owens (R-UT):
This is 🔥 🔥 🔥. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (@RepJeffries) drags Utah’s new Trump-supporting Black Republican (@BurgessOwens) for coming in on his first day and lecturing Democrats about patriotism when Owens voted to overturn the November election even after the Capitol insurrection. pic.twitter.com/mJ7cUJ0RSH

Quite right. Voting to undo the votes of literally millions of Americans because of your allegiance to President Trump, purveyor of utterly baseless allegations concerning the election he lost, rather than an allegiance to the Constitution, doesn’t make one patriotic. Instead, it puts your worthiness to serve into question. An inability to understand that your allegiance is to the Constitution, rather than a Party leader, makes your presence in Congress questionable.
And your future performance is unlikely to be impressive.
