Hakeem Jeffries Promises To ‘Fart Hard’ For Freedoms While Addressing Congress

At one point, Jeffries promised his colleagues that the Democratic Party would “never abandon the long walk towards freedom” and would “fight hard” during the next session of Congress.

“We will fight hard to defend the freedom of opportunity that makes the American dream possible,” he said, before making an unfortunate blooper.

“We will fart hard — fight hard for the freedom to vote,” he said, quickly correcting himself. “And to fight for a government of the people, by the people and for the people.”

Take a listen for yourself.

As might be expected, Jeffries’ unfortunate comment went viral, especially among pro-Trump accounts on X, formerly Twitter.

However, Jeffries also got in a shot of his own after GOP lawmakers cheered him for mentioning that Donald Trump had been elected president by voters two months ago.

After the cheers and whistles from the Republicans died down, he said with a smile, “Thank you for that very generous applause. It’s OK. There are no election deniers on our side of the aisle.”
