In a 2014 interview with CNN Hakeem Jeffries said that we aren’t in a post-racial America yet and he’s worried about his sons’ future. His concerns weighed mostly on his older son who would be more likely to face interactions with the police.
The statement made in the interview read: “I’ve got to worry every day about what can happen to him (his older son), not just from the robbers but from a bad apple on the police department… The overwhelming majority of New York police officers are to be commended for the great work they’ve done… But there are bad apples on the police force, and when you unleash them without consequence, you see the type of tragedy that results.”
His comments about worrying about his children were later made into a meme and shared extensively by people who supported his political concerns.
