Hakeem Jeffries met with President Trump\u2019s son-in-law Jared Kushner, and he may never live it down.<\/p>\n

The House Minority Leader made waves within the Democrat Party when news broke that he had a private meeting with Kushner at the end of August.<\/p>\n

Ex-CNN host Don Lemon wants to know \u201cwhy\u201d and claims it\u2019s the question everyone\u2019s been asking.<\/p>\n

\u201cJared asked for the meeting and I agreed to have it because we\u2019ve made clear as House Democrats, and I said this during the opening day of this Congressional session, that we\u2019re going to be focused on pushing back against the extremism being unleashed on the American people and continuing to battle them on all the things in order to end this national nightmare,\u201d Jeffries answered, seemingly alluding to rising the socialist movement within Democrat ranks.<\/p>\n

But Jeffries knows he has to walk a fine line.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same period of time, we recognize that the American people want us to get things done whenever and wherever possible, particularly as it relates to the affordability crisis that is suffocating the American people,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cFolks are drowning in this failed economy. Everyday Americans, hardworking Americans, black and brown Americans, rural Americans, everybody\u2019s suffering in this failed economy. They want us to get things done. And part of the reality of the governmental dynamic that we have right now is that in order for that to happen, you\u2019ve got to be willing, at times, to sit and talk with people on the other side of the aisle who you may strongly disagree with on a whole host of issues in order to see what\u2019s possible when it comes to solving problems for everyday Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Lemon argued that Kushner isn\u2019t an elected official, Jeffries pushed back.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod forbid I sat and talked with Stephen Miller. It\u2019d be interesting to see what the reaction is there, Don. In terms of Kushner, I think what is clear, what everybody understands, is that he is a senior advisor to Donald Trump and one of the most influential people in the Trump orbit.\u201d<\/p>\n
