Hakeem Jeffries Has Already Prepared a House Spectacle for January 6


House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is still fighting Jan. 6 as if it’s happening in real time, and in doing so he’s advertising how little Democrats have to say about the country as it exists today.

Nearly five years after the Capitol incursion — after arrests, prosecutions, convictions, congressional investigations, and nonstop media saturation — Jeffries’ answer to inflation, crime, housing costs, and national decline is yet another bit of planned theatrics about a settled historical event. When “leaders” have no solutions, they’re forced to recycle outrage, and that’s exactly what Jeffries’ latest stunt is.

Jeffries’ “Dear Colleague” letter isn’t a roadmap for governing; it’s a political security blanket. Every paragraph is designed to keep Democrats anchored to a moment that absolves them of responsibility for the present. Rather than confront the affordability crisis, border chaos, or institutional failure on his party’s watch, Jeffries retreats to a familiar script where Republicans are villains, Democrats are victims, and performative outrage equates to results.



Jeffries opens his letter with: “I write with respect to the upcoming solemn anniversary of the January 6th brutal attack on the Capitol. Nearly five years ago, a violent mob incited by Donald Trump attempted to halt the peaceful transfer of power. As a result of the extraordinary bravery of the men and women of the U.S. Capitol Police and other law enforcement professionals, the treacherous effort to prevent certification of the results of the 2020 presidential election failed.”
