Jones, a conservative Democrat-turned-Republican, addressed the issue in a series of social media posts in which he also made it clear he does not agree with Jeffries politically. “I’m a Black Republican who disagrees with @RepJeffries on nearly every political issue — but I will not remain silent while @rulajebreal calls America’s highest-ranking Black member of Congress an ‘AIPAC monkey’ and an ‘errand boy.’ That is vile, dehumanizing racism,” Jones wrote Sunday. “Her pathetic ‘I didn’t mean it in a racist…
