WATCH: Hakeem Jeffries Gets LEVELED by Joe Kernen After Claiming Trump is Failing on the Economy on CNBC’s Squawk Box
CNBC host Joe Kernen on Thursday obliterated Democrat House Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), calling him out on his failure to explain the Democrats’ fearmongering as President Trump sees historic economic accomplishments since taking office in January. While discussing tariffs and inflation, Hakeem Jeffries claimed that “the erratic tariff policies have created a great deal of uncertainty in the business environment, and uncertainty, of course, doesn’t allow for the type of explosive economic growth that we will all like to see here in the United States of America.” “I think there’s no real basis to conclude that Donald Trump has been successful, particularly as it relates to the core issue of driving down the high cost of living in the United States of America,” Jeffries continued.
