Dem Hecklers Scream 'Traitor' at Hakeem Jeffries for Not Impeaching Trump Fast Enough as He Gears Up to Become House Speaker
Leftists hoping for a version of the French Revolution want a fiery Robespeirre to make heads roll.
They may be getting Hakeem Jeffries for that role.
The combination erupted in confrontations at an event in Denver where Democrats were allegedly planning how to use their power to ensure total dominance of Congress.
But massive differences over the election of Jeffries as House speaker emerged, with one heckler calling out to Jeffries saying “You are a… liar,” according to the Daily Wire.
The heckler wanted Jeffries to do more to impeach Trump administration officials.
“You don’t fight for the people!” one man shouted. “What makes you think you can lead us?”
As AOC touts Jeffries, he gave a stunning preview of his leadership today, failing to whip the vote after promising a “hard yes” on Hegseth impeachment. 11 Dems were no-shows & the bid went down in flames.
If Jeffries won’t deliver on a “hard yes”, imagine what lies ahead for Medicare for All, ending Citizen’s United & blocking funds for war & genocide.
Democrats are self-destructing as usual to serve their oligarch donors.— Dr. Jill Stein🌻 (@DrJillStein) November 11, 2026

The protesters were removed from the room.
A petition opposing Jeffries has more than a million signatures.
But if not Jeffries, who? To date, no other House Democrat has shown an interest in taking the post.
Members of the Democratic Socialists of America are miffed that Jeffries has said he does not support their agenda.
New York City DSA Co-chair Gustavo Gordillo said DSA-backed winners are considering whether or not support Jeffries, according to Bloomberg.
R&R today submitted a resolution to the NPC to commit DSA and our federally endorsed candidates to unambiguously opposing Jeffries and Schumer for congressional leadership. DSA must take a strong and public stand against corporate Democratic leaders.

Even if they do, they expect to be heard.
“I think that he needs to acknowledge that we’re sending the largest bloc of socialists to Congress in this country’s history, and those representatives are backed by millions of voters who wanted our agenda,” Gordillo said.
Pushing back against the left’s claim of dominating the election, the website Third Way said the vote was “not a mandate to lurch to the left.”
“The voters who think the party is too far left includes 61% of white non-college voters, 58% of men, 57% of white voters, 52% of independents and non-college voters, 44% of undecided 2026 voters, and 43% of voters who did not vote in 2024,” the site noted.
“Newly elected moderates will outnumber DSA at least five-to-one.”
