A former aide of Rep. Nancy Pelosi criticized the lawmaker's successor as party leader in the House, saying Hakeem Jeffries is not being able to help capitalize the "red meat" being provided by President Donald Trump and his policies.
Speaking to Politico, Ashley Etienne said she has "never seen anything" like the "red meat" Trump is giving the party. "It's like the biggest gift any party has been given by the opposition and we're just squandering it," she said, adding that Jeffries should take the bulk of the blame for that.
