Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), the chair of the Democratic House Caucus, spoke of the Democrats\u2019 efforts to force Republicans to bend to their will on voting rights, and while celebrating various civil rights leaders, mentioned former Venezuelan despot Hugo Chavez before correcting himself and naming Cesar Chavez, triggering criticism on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Jeffries started by referencing Dr. Martin Luther King as he said, \u201cI think it\u2019s important to remember, as Dr. King just reminded us, as we reflected upon his life and his legacy a few days ago, \u2018The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.\u2019 What Dr. King was saying to us is that in this world there are some good folks, there\u2019s some rough folks. For the good folks to be able to prevail you gotta be willing to continue to stand up, step up, speak up, show up. And things aren\u2019t necessarily going to happen instantaneously. It didn\u2019t for Dr. King; it didn\u2019t for Rosa Parks. It didn\u2019t Fannie Lou Hamer or John Lewis or A. Philip Randolph or Roy Wilkins or Adam Clayton Powell Jr. or Shirley Chisholm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then he declared. \u201cAnd we\u2019re inspired: Hugo Chavez, (catching himself) Cesar Chavez; we\u2019re inspired by all of these leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir struggles, their civil rights struggles,\u201d he continued, before segueing to the usual leftist themes of various forms of justice, instead of simple justice itself: \u201cThe farm workers\u2019 struggle, the women\u2019s struggle. It\u2019s my expectation that the people we represent understand this dynamic of struggle and service and sacrifice. And that we\u2019ll be able to make the case that we\u2019re going to continue to do everything we can on economic justice, on racial justice, and on social justice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Democrats&#8217; election takeover bill being inspired by Hugo Chavez is a classic Washington &#8220;gaffe&#8221;\u2014accidentally telling the truth. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Pn1rdcgHll\">https:\/\/t.co\/Pn1rdcgHll<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tom Cotton (@TomCottonAR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TomCottonAR\/status\/1483870276370763784?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LMAO!!!!!

Was it the election that took place in 2008? Did that disturb you? Did that throw you off? Were you confused by that? Still trying to figure out how that occurred? What happened to the modern-day Republican Party that you\u2019ve abandoned your own principles? \u2026 What happened to the modern-day Republican Party? It\u2019s a cult right now. Is it because the cult leader has told you to oppose voting rights?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As another indication of Jeffries\u2019 perspective, he insisted, \u201cPresident Biden has had a very good year under incredibly difficult circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rich Lowry of National Review <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2013\/03\/hugo-ch-vezs-cheering-section-rich-lowry\/\">wrote of Chavez<\/a> in 2013:<\/p>\n<p><em>He displaced a corrupt, conscienceless oligarchy when he took power in 1999 with his own corrupt, conscienceless rule. In a recent report, Human Rights Watch detailed how \u201cthe accumulation of power in the executive and the erosion of human rights protections have allowed the Ch\u00e1vez government to intimidate, censor, and prosecute critics and perceived opponents.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Fidel Castro was his mentor, and he propped up the Castro regime with Venezuela\u2019s ample oil. He praised every heinous dictator around the planet as a brother-in-arms. He was hell on the plutocrats, and also on the Jews. \u201cDon\u2019t let yourselves be poisoned by those wandering Jews,\u201d he warned his countrymen, in a sentiment worthy of the 15th century.<\/em><\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
