FLASHBACK: That Time in 2021 When Hakeem Jeffries Called the Filibuster a Racist Artifact of the Jim Crow Era (VIDEO)

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries launched an hours-long filibuster today, in an unsuccessful attempt to block the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill.

The liberal media talked about it all day. They just couldn’t get enough of Jeffries’ ‘historic’ speech.

Here’s how CBS News framed the story:

Hakeem Jeffries sets record for longest House speech before vote on Trump’s “big, beautiful bill”

There’s no filibuster in the House, but Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries essentially conducted one anyway as the House debated President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” before it passed on Thursday.

Jeffries held the House floor for more than eight hours, taking his “sweet time” with a marathon floor speech that delayed passage of Republicans’ massive tax and spending cuts legislation and gave his minority party a lengthy spotlight to excoriate what he called an “immoral” bill.

As Democratic leader, Jeffries can speak for as long as he wants during debate on legislation — hence its nickname on Capitol Hill, the “magic minute,” that lasts as long as leaders are speaking.

He began the speech at 4:53 a.m. ET and finished at 1:37 p.m. ET, 8 hours, 44 minutes later, breaking the record set by then-Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California in 2021, when he was the GOP leader. McCarthy spoke for 8 hours, 32 minutes when he angrily criticized Democrats’ “Build Back Better” legislation, breaking a record set by Rep. Nancy Pelosi, when she spoke about immigration for 8 hours, 7 minutes in 2018.

So brave. So historic. One little problem.

Back in 2021, during an appearance on MSNBC with Al Sharpton, Jeffries called the filibuster a racist artifact of the Jim Crow era, and complained that the filibuster was allowing people to stand in the way of progress. Watch:

OOPS.

It’s just another reminder that for Democrats, their view of everything is framed by whether it helps their party or not. At the end of the day, that’s really all they care about.
