House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries argued on Sunday that his Republicans colleagues are “in the middle of a civil war” over the best way forward amid a newly launched impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, an ongoing spending fight and another looming shutdown of the federal government.

“Civil war has the following attributes: chaos, dysfunction and extremism. The House Republican civil war is hurting hardworking American taxpayers and limiting our ability to be able to solve problems on their behalf,” Jeffries told ABC “This Week” co-anchor Jonathan Karl.

“It’s unfortunate. But as House Democrats, we’re going to continue to try to find common ground with the other side of the aisle,” Jeffries said, adding: “Hopefully the House Republicans will come along so that we can work to make sure we are funding the government.”

    Christ, and these people have a real chance of installing the toxic orange again.

    The cons are completely unserious about addressing any real issues. It’s all about owning the libs, punching down on others, and completely fucking up the (real) economy.
