Hakeem Jeffries’s Hiccup Turns Democrats Into Viral Laughingstock [WATCH]

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries might want to choose his words more carefully next time. During an address meant to highlight Democratic priorities, Jeffries hilariously misspoke, declaring his party would “fart hard” for Americans’ freedom to vote.

Naturally, the internet pounced, turning the gaffe into a meme goldmine.

As reported by The Western Journal, this isn’t Jeffries’ first brush with viral moments. The Democratic leader opened the 119th Congress with bold claims, insisting there were no “election deniers” among Democrats.

That assertion didn’t hold up well under scrutiny, as critics quickly reminded him of his own history of questioning election outcomes.

But let’s set aside his revisionist history for a moment. Jeffries’ latest linguistic blunder overshadowed his attempt to present a united front. Instead of inspiring confidence, it triggered a storm of hilarious commentary and internet mockery.

In no time, social media lit up with reactions to Jeffries’ unfortunate word choice. One user dubbed him “Temu Obama,” a cheeky reference to the former president and the bargain-basement online retailer notorious for shoddy knockoff products.

🤦🏻‍♀️🤣😂🤣😂. Temu Obama

Even Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell wasn’t spared, as some recalled his own embarrassing on-air “incident” a few years ago. The parallels were too ripe for internet users to ignore, and the memes practically wrote themselves.

While the jokes are entertaining, they underscore a larger issue. Jeffries isn’t just a run-of-the-mill politician; he succeeded Nancy Pelosi as the Democratic leader. If Democrats reclaim the House majority after the 2026 midterms, Jeffries could become Speaker of the House.

As conservatives, we’ll continue to point out the farcical nature of these so-called leaders. And to Jeffries, a piece of advice: Choose your words wisely next time. The internet has a long memory, and the jokes write themselves.
