I’m not a big Jeffries fan but he is being misquoted.
Someone who was at that meeting with him (a fired federal employee who works for CFPB) said he was being sarcastic when he spoke like that.
The person was on a recent segment on the Brian Lehrer show focused on federal employees were he mentioned that.

mekk5z6Why is Mr. Obama not campaigning ? Is there rule that says Former President is not allowed to go for Senate ?
And even if not campaigning, he could go around and talk to people like Sanders and shift voting districts.
Why the hell is DNC leadership behaving like sheep in slaughter yard?

mek6olvJeffries never said this, he’s been working. Sanders went on a book tour too after Trump won the first time (and I love the guy).
This infighting gets us nowhere. We take people who are on our side and denigrate them for the silliest of reasons while the other side unites behind a dictator.
