It's easy to confuse Hakeem Jeffries with Chuck Schumer. They look just
alike. Not everybody can remember back to civics lessons in elementary
school in which we learned about Congress, a branch of government, having
a bicameral legislature. Have some sympathy for Fred Phelps.

>>>>He's lying about Democrats wanting to get illegals to vote.

I didn't look up the DC law, but I believe there was no check of
immigration status, legal or illegal. Fred Phelps lied here.
