We’ve seen them endlessly appearing on cable news trying to figure out where they went wrong—was it “the messaging?”—and we’ve seen the catfight between vice chair of the Democratic National Committee David Hogg and the DNC as the youngster lobbied for challenges to incumbents (the opposite of the function of the committee). Meanwhile we’ve witnessed a flurry of books coming out that are finally telling the true story of Joe Biden: he was mentally cooked for much of his term.

Now a former aide to CA Rep. Nancy Pelosi and former Vice President Kamala Harris is taking to the airwaves to thrash House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) for his failure to effectively counter their bogeyman, Donald Trump:

Ashley Etienne, a former communications director for both former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former Vice President Kamala Harris, blasted House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ decisions at the helm of the Democratic Caucus during a podcast episode released Thursday.

Etienne, who ran the former speaker’s anti-Trump war room, blasted Pelosi’s successor as House Democratic leader over his alleged lack of coordination and organization, during an appearance on Politico’s Playbook Deep Dive podcast. Etienne, citing conversations with Democratic House lawmakers, portrayed Jeffries as indecisive and too weak in opposition to President Donald Trump.

I would guess that former Pelosi adviser Ashley Etienne got the “go-ahead” from her former boss to make this savage statement about Leader Jefferies. Pelosi clearly not a fan of Jefferies.
