Um..... it is an established fact that the Russian government worked to get Trump elected, and that the Trump campaign accepted the help.
The Republican lead Senate report provided " a bipartisan Senate imprimatur for an extraordinary set of facts: The Russian government disrupted an American election to help Mr. Trump become president, Russian intelligence services viewed members of the Trump campaign as easily manipulated, and some of Mr. Trump’s advisers were eager for the help from an American adversary."
G.O.P.-Led Senate Panel Details Ties Between 2016 Trump Campaign and Russia (Published 2020)
A nearly 1,000-page report confirmed the special counsel’s findings at a moment when President Trump’s allies have sought to undermine that inquiry.

It is "democratic leader". You're indoctrinated to routinely resort to a perjorative. IOW, you don't even think about it.Who woulda thunk it!???
More gems from the new democrat "leader"...
Democrat poised to succeed Pelosi repeatedly denied legitimacy of Trump's 2016 election
Hakeem Jeffries' claims range from stolen election to voter suppression. Will news media treat him same as Republicans?justthenews.com
"
Jeffries, currently the House Democratic Conference chairman, has tweeted that Trump cheated in the 2016 election and stole two Supreme Court seats.
"LIE (more than any administration in the history of the Republic.) CHEAT (2016 election/Russian Interference). STEAL (one or two Supreme Court seats). When will Republicans put country ahead of party?" he tweeted.
Jeffries' denials of Trump's election date to at least February 2018, when he launched a Twitter broadside against the 45th president.
"The more we learn about the 2016 election, the more ILLEGITIMATE it becomes," Jeffries tweeted from his congressional account four years ago, claiming Russian interference benefited Trump. "America deserves to know whether we have a FAKE president in the Oval Office."
In 2019, even though Special Counsel Robert Mueller had concluded Trump had not colluded with Russia, Jeffries claimed at a congressional hearing that Trump had been put into the the White House "artificially."
"History will never accept you as a legitimate president," Jeffries tweeted from his personal account in 2020, referring to Trump
In March 2021, Jeffries claimed without evidence that Republicans had suppressed votes in prior elections.
"What kind of political party worships at the altar of voter suppression?" he wrote. "A morally bankrupt one."

No comments about the election denials? Just a triggering from an incorrect term?It is "democratic leader". You're indoctrinated to routinely resort to a perjorative. IOW, you don't even think about it.

Besides you being objectively wrong about that, I don't need to go down that rabbit hole with you anyway because I've demonstrated that it's Trump's welcoming of Russia's assistance he was referring to, and not any kind of election denialism.

House Democrats chose caucus chair Hakeem Jeffries of New York to succeed Nancy Pelosi as leader of the Democrats in the chamber next year, a historic move that will make him the first Black person to lead one of the two major parties in either chamber of Congress.
House Democrats met behind closed doors Wednesday morning on Capitol Hill to make their decision.
Jeffries ran unopposed as leader, with Massachusetts Rep. Katherine Clark, current assistant speaker, running as whip and California Rep. Peter Aguilar, previously vice chair of the caucus, and was expected to win the spot to lead the House Democratic caucus."

Election-denier Hakeem Jeffries will make our politics more toxic and divisive - Washington Examiner
With Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announcing that she will step aside, what are House Democrats looking for from the next generation of their leadership?How about full-on election denialism, with a little bit of race-baiting on the side?Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) will likely be the new...www.washingtonexaminer.com

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) will likely be the new Democratic leader in the House, as has been floated for a couple of years now. Jeffries fits all the requirements Democrats are looking for — he’s young, he’s not white, and he’s not from one of those icky flyover states. You could almost forget that he has repeatedly denied the legitimacy of the 2016 presidential election.
Jeffries said in September 2018 that Republicans had cheated in the 2016 presidential election and stole two Supreme Court seats. He tweeted in February 2018 that “the more we learn about 2016 election the more ILLEGITIMATE it becomes. America deserves to know whether we have a FAKE President in the Oval Office.” And, of course, he peddles the lie that requiring voters to present identification is “voter suppression,” claiming that Republicans “worship at the altar of voter suppression” and that the GOP’s whole election strategy is to cheat and steal races.
If you were worried the next House Democratic leader wouldn’t spew enough racially divisive rhetoric, then you can breathe a sigh of relief. Jeffries joined the liberal dog pile on Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who shot three people in self-defense when he was attacked and in danger of being beaten to death during a Black Lives Matter riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Jeffries also declared that anyone that opposed President Joe Biden’s worst and most toxic nominees was (probably) racist.
Jeffries is noxiously partisan, the product of both the liberal New York City bubble and the liberal Twitter bubble. He is going to use his position as House minority leader (and, eventually, as speaker of the House) to make our politics more toxic by denying election results he doesn’t like and by trying to divide Americans along racial lines.

While Democrats demand Republicans soften their rhetoric after the attack on Pelosi’s husband, they intend to replace Pelosi with a far more inflammatory House leader. It’s all an act — and it is going to continue to make our politics even worse.

All the neoconfederates on this forum need to cheer up. There is no reason to fret because black Democrats have now served in every major role of US government.
Democrats know they need to be like the new Republicans party. That party has Tim Scott (Senator), and Clarence Thomas (Scotus Justice) , and Hershel Walker (Body with brain) and Candace Owens (paid spokesperson), and Kanye West (Presidential candidate). Steady, consistent, non-woke, but also evolving and conservative and totally representative of what it means to be black in America. Ah yes, those people.
Anyways, wait till they find out Jeffrey's parents were social workers, and he listens rap music.

The source of the comment was that Mr. Jeffries did not believe Trump was a legitimate president.
BTW-- those charges against the 13 by Mueller were dropped by Mueller.
Has Mr. Jefffries adjusted his opinion of Trump's legitimacy based upon these facts?
Moreover, there was no connection between those guys and anyone in the Trump campaign.

It’s a dead giveaway that the speaker is a reactionary right winger.
Frank Lutz, back when he was working with Gingrich, promoted the idea of calling the Democratic Party the “Democrat“ party.
This quickly became standard on AM right wing talk radio.
Pinning a made up label on the other guy got the knuckle dragger’s heads to bobble.

That is false. Mueller never dropped charges against the 13 Russians who were identified as the managers of the fake news and troll farm attacks on the US that helped propel trump to the White House.
The Justice Department did in mid 2020, when nobody was looking.
Bill Barr moved to make the story go away, which was his mission as Attorney General.
As for any direct connection between trump and the men who ran the FSB campaign to sow chaos in American politics and later promote trump, there was a very definate connection.
trump campaign manager, Paul Manafort, no stranger to the FSB, provided internal pollling data from the trump campaign to his Moscow based benefactors. This gave them a direct gauge as to the effectiveness of their campaign in the US. That was the promise the Manafort made to Deripashka.

Of course he was. Nothing was "swiped".
Just as if Trump had a democrat party controlled senate when the SCOTUS openings occurred. They would NEVER have voted for ANY of his candidates. They would have held out until 2021 if necessary.
That is pure partisan bovine scat. Something Jeffries seems to be adept at spewing. A prominent trait among ardent leftists.

Without the heavily biased accompanying trope, this is an amazing statement from the Democratic leadership. "Trump is gone, we can do this!"
They want you as outraged as you are.
