ASHINGTON – The National Republican Congressional Committee released the following statement after TIME magazine today included Hakeem Jeffries in their list of 2023’s one hundred most influential people following the reveal of his defense of anti-semites and his own racist comments:

“TIME magazine must immediately remove Hakeem Jeffries from their list of most influential people of 2023.
