<p>House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was clearly uncomfortable when Fox News host Jacqui Heinrich pressed him on the accusations against Leftist Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner.</p>
<p>Heinrich, on the latest broadcast of &#8220;The Sunday Briefing,&#8221; pulled no punches when she asked Jeffries about claims that Platner had exhibited troubling behavior with women he&#8217;d dated in the past — and challenged him with the Democratic Party&#8217;s #MeToo mantra: &#8220;Believe all women.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;What happened to believe all women?&#8221; Heinrich asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;I haven&#8217;t followed these allegations closely,&#8221; Jeffries began. &#8220;What I have said is that violence against women, in any way, shape, or form, is unacceptable. It&#8217;s a red line and nobody should cross that. And any accuser who comes forward has to be treated with dignity and respect.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jeffries went on to defend his ignorance regarding the furor surrounding a high-profile Democratic candidate by saying that he was only concerned with winning back control of the House of Representatives.</p>
<p>&#8220;I haven&#8217;t talked to [Rep.] Ro Khanna (D-CA) about this particular race, and in fact, I haven&#8217;t gotten involved in this particular race because we’re focused on taking control of the House of Representatives,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Khanna attempted to walk the line on Platner, saying that he believed the women who had come forward alleging that the Maine Democrat&#8217;s behavior was troubling. But Khanna stopped short of withdrawing his support for Platner — and even campaigned with him over the weekend — saying that he would certainly withdraw support if and when he saw evidence that the troubling behavior had ever escalated to violence.</p>
<p>Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/he-lied-to-everybody-fetterman-says-graham-platner-saga-isnt-over">John Fetterman</a> (D-PA) is one of the few Democrats who have spoken out against Platner, often referring to the candidate by his Reddit screen name — P Hustle — and suggesting that there probably are more skeletons in his closet that have not yet surfaced.</p>
