Congressional Black Caucus Slams Justice Dems for Targeting Black Reps

[Free Beacon] Democratic lawmakers in the Congressional Black Caucus expressed anger over Justice Democrats attempting to oust black lawmakers in the primaries, saying the group's strategy is "a bunch of B.S."

Justice Democrats, a progressive group aligned with freshman representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.), is publicly backing primary challengers to several CBC members, including Reps. William Lacy Clay (Mo.) and Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.). Reps. Yvette Clarke (N.Y.), Joyce Beatty (Ohio), Emanuel Cleaver (Mo.) and Anthony Brown (D-Md.) have also expressed concerns about potentially being targeted in future weeks and months, according to the Hill.

Rep. Gregory Meeks, a senior CBC member and Queens Democratic Party boss, told the Hill it "seems strange" that "social Democrats seem to be targeting members of the Congressional Black Caucus, individuals who have stood and fought to make sure that African Americans are included and part of this process."

"I don't know what that agenda is, but if they want to come after members of the Black Caucus, it's two ways," Meeks said.

Clay, who has represented his district since 2001, said it's "insulting" to the intelligence of voters in Missouri for Justice Democrats to target him.

#3 As the left end of the left abides by "no turning back" and "by any means necessary," this should be fun.

#8 He was armed with a long gun and was throwing incendiary devices. AOC's idiotic hot war revolution against the sovereignty of this US has begun. Incarcerate the tramp.
