Washington, DC — Today, Indivisible’s co-executive director Ezra Levin released the following statement:
“Rep. Green had the spine to call out Trump’s blatant lies on Tuesday night. That’s the kind of Democratic leadership we need—not tone-policing, not pearl-clutching, and certainly not pretending this is a normal presidency.
“If Trump wants respect, he can start by respecting the laws of this country and ending his coup. An unelected billionaire is handing teenagers the keys to Americans’ most sensitive data—yet 10 House Democrats just sided with Republicans to police criticism of Trump. These ten Democrats decided their priority was upholding ‘norms’ that the GOP has torched for years -- all while tens of millions of Americans brace for the devastating consequences of MAGA’s extreme cuts.\
“Why didn't Jeffries whip his caucus on this? Jeffries didn't unify his own damn members to protect his own damn caucus. He could have prevented this Democratic fracture and presented a united front. He chose not to. This is Hakeem Jeffries sending a message to Dems: don't upset the apple cart.
“It’s time to step up and treat this like the emergency it is.”
