jeffries. mr. jeffries: second row. reporter: one of the things that you just brought up is working across the aisle in order to make things work at the end of the day, but in this past year, it's not just a problem working with the other side of the aisle, but members in your caucus. one of the things we heard earlier was one of the key factors is making sure members can all agree. would you be able to guarantee that going forward when you have legislation and moderate democrats aren't agreeing what progressive democrats are doing. mr. jeffries: we all share the same approach. everybody matters. new deems, blue caution, east, south, west, and center, center left, everybody matters. that's what makes the house democratic caucus the most authentic representatives of the american people. sometimes he we can have noisy conversations, but as we showed time and time again after issue after issue after issue, at the end of the day, we always come together and find the highest common denominator and get things done for every d

leader jeffries to answer your questions. [indiscernible question] mr. jeffries: at this moment, we need answer from george santos. his whole life story made up. and he is going to answer that question. did you perpetrate a fraud on the 3rd congressional district in new york. he appears to be in the witness protection program. no one can find him. he is hiding from legitimate questions that his constituents are asking. about his education, about his so-called charity, about his work experience, about his criminal entanglement in brazil, about every aspect that appears in his life. it's also apparent to me that george santos has perpetrated a fraud in terms of his use of delivering for the people of nassau county. he pretended to be a moderated. and played footsie with white supremacists and election deniers and those who seek to overturn our democracy. we'll see what happens on january 3. it's an open question to me whether this is the type of individual that the incoming majority should welcome to congress. that's a question for kevin mccarthy at this p
