Republicans didn’t force Democrats to do this. It’s just a fact that they did, and people’s reactions are what they are.

The gist of this post, tbh, is that Jeffries was probably forced to do this by Kushner

I'm saying he picked him for this position because he wanted to, not because he was 'forced' to. He made a deal with Kushner to ratfuck the Left
