Charades Quote by Hakeem Jeffries

“This is not a legitimate congressional exercise. This is not a fact-finding hearing. This is theater. This is a charade. This is stage craft. This is nothing more than a political hit job on a women's right to choose. Which, by the way, is constitutionally protected.” quote by Hakeem Jeffries
