Rep. Hakeem Jeffries faced an angry confrontation during the Democratic Party’s “What’s Next” conference in Denver, Colorado, on Friday. Protesters repeatedly interrupted the New York Democrat while he was participating in a panel discussion moderated by political consultant Jessica Tarlov.

The demonstrators raised concerns about progressive policies, demanding, “When is it time for a Green New Deal?” and “When is it time for Medicare-for-all?”

One heckler directly accused Jeffries, shouting, “You are a f---ing liar.” Others expressed concerns about their future, saying, “Hakeem Jeffries … I’m a young person, and I am scared for my future.”

The interruptions sparked a reaction from the audience, with attendees booing and chanting Jeffries’ name.

The confrontation comes after Democrats made significant gains in the November 3 midterm elections. Jeffries is also seeking his party’s nomination for House speaker, with no opponent currently challenging him.
