MSNBC Host Presses Hakeem Jeffries on Whether He 'Regrets' Saving Mike Johnson's Job

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was pressed on whether he has “regret” over having helped rescue House Speaker Mike Johnson from a Republican rebellion last year, moments after he railed against Johnson for presiding over a GOP “Trump cartel.”

Appearing on Way Too Early with Ali Vitali on Thursday morning, the New York Democrat accused Johnson of stalling the House’s work while the nation faced key funding deadlines.

“It was irresponsible for Mike Johnson to keep House Republicans on a taxpayer-funded vacation for more than seven weeks and to castrate, you know, the House of Representatives as it relates to his majority,” Jeffries said. “At the end of the day, we’re a separate and coequal branch of government.”

He continued: “The problem with House Republicans is that they continue to function like a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trump cartel, as opposed to what Democrats will do, which is serve as a check and balance on an out-of-control executive branch.”
