Rep. Jerry Nadler draws mocking laughter at NYC Judiciary hearing
kept giggling at Rep. Jerry Nadler on Monday after the panel’s ranking member accused Chairman Jim Jordan of going after Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for political reasons rather than concern about the victims of violent crime.
“They are using the public offices and the resources of this committee to protect their political patron, Donald Trump,” Nadler went on. “It is an outrageous abuse of power. It is, to use the chairman’s favorite term, a weaponization of the House Judiciary Committee.”“The gallery should refrain from commenting. Let the gentleman from New York finish his statement,” he said.Paul Martinka
Nadler cited declining homicide rates and decreased shootings in the Big Apple in 2022 to claim Judiciary Committee Republicans were not concerned with rising crime — though major crimes like robbery and burglary were up 22% last year. A little more than 300 offenders accounted for 30% of 22,000 shoplifting arrests that occurred in New York City in 2022,A father of a victim of a brutal anti-Semitic assault also went after Nadler on Monday, telling the Jewish Democrat he was “disappointed” that his office failed to acknowledge the incident.
