The article criticizes Jefferies for supporting Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar amidst a federal raid on her home in Washington, D.C. The piece highlights the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >political hypocrisy surrounding law enforcement<\/a> and media treatment of Democrats versus Republicans, emphasizing that Democrats often view the law as a tool for their agenda rather than an impartial system. It also points out the media&#8217;s leniency toward Democratic misconduct compared to their harsher scrutiny of Republicans and former President Donald Trump. The piece concludes with a warning to voters about the potential consequences if the Democratic Party regains power in upcoming elections.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Hakeem Jefferies really had it coming \u2014 and he got it.<\/p>\n<p>The House minority leader has apparently gotten so used to the double standard Democratic politicians enjoy from the establishment media that he\u2019s forgotten any other standards exist.<\/p>\n<p>But when the New York Democrat issued a statement Monday supporting Democratic Rep.

(Before President Joe Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/newly-uncovered-docs-blow-jack-smiths-story-investigation-trump-began\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">special prosecutor<\/a> hounded Trump as a private citizen, before the shameful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nowhere-hide-gabbards-doc-dump-100-percent-reveals-obama-personally-ordered-russia-collusion-hoax-document-originated\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">smear of \u201cRussia collusion\u201d<\/a> in Trump\u2019s first term, President Barack Obama\u2019s administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/lois-lerner-irs-mccain-tea-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">used the IRS<\/a> against its political opponents and the FBI <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/fox-news-reporter-secretly-monitored-by-obama-administration-court-documents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">against journalists<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Jeffries\u2019 hypocrisy is even worse.<\/p>\n<p>This is the powerful politician who has repeatedly justified the seemingly endless lawfare against Trump public statements and social media posts by declaring that \u201cno one is above the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s usually said it about Trump (like <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RepJeffries\/status\/1605067020072095744\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RepJeffries\/status\/1215373222155374593\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here)<\/a>, but he occasionally branches out to other targets of Dem hatred, like the Supreme Court (<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RepJeffries\/status\/1818038772816298416\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here, for instance<\/a>). In short, he says it a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, when Democrats claim devotion to the law, what they\u2019re usually claiming is devotion to using the tools and powers of government to attack their political opponents. The problem is that the sweeping statement that \u201cno one is above the law\u201d is as true for their side as it is for conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>And plenty of social media users were ready to remind Jeffries of that.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">@RepJeffries This you? https:\/\/t.co\/cD9vTewV41<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Alec Lace (@AlecLace) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AlecLace\/status\/2109676087039189084?\">October 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"und\">oh <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ptKbQchd8o\">pic.twitter.com\/ptKbQchd8o<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WesternLensman\/status\/2109678455566852115?\">October 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Womp womp <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pLy40Oxo02\">pic.twitter.com\/pLy40Oxo02<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ava- I Love My USA!
