Might get flamed on this.

But sorry, it needs to be said.

Nancy Pelosi needs to do something about Nadler. He hijacked Adam Schiff's closing during the impeachment hearing, and now he's letting Gohmert hijack these hearings. He allowed this childish behavior to continue...he should have had him removed. Banging the gavel and calling for order means nothing to these thugs.

He's a decent, honorable man, and I'm proud to have him as a Democrat. But he needs to grab hold of this. He let Corey Lewendowski thumb his nose to his committee, and he let Gohmert disrupt important testimony. His own committee members were asking him to do something. He should have ordered Gohmert to stop acting like a 3 year old and stop the noise, or leave. And he should have said it in those words.

Nadler did put up with it, just like he did with Lewendowski. Remember the change in that asshole when the House attorney took over asking the questions? Adam Schiff didn't put up with rethug games...he was prepared with the law, chapter and verse, and shut their whiny little asses down. I didn't watch the whole thing, but banging a gavel and calling for order didn't even cause Gohmert to miss a beat. Of course he made a fool of himself, as far as this side of the aisle is concerned. You know on Fox News he's a hero.

Here's the thing. As every parent and teacher knows, if there are no consequences to negative behavior, the behavior will escalate. While there may not be a specific rule about "making noise" during testimony, I'll bet there's something about disrupting the hearing. I'm also willing to bet the Republicans would have NEVER let a Democrat get away with that. At all. They'd have been shut down immediately. Like I've said, I like Nadler. But he needs to take control of that committee.

It's likely that's what he does when his wife or kids are saying something that upsets him.

Don't make daddy angry, or else!

Gohmert just proved himself to be the petulant idiot we all know him to be! I love Congressman Nadler.

I better not say, or I'll also get my post flagged/removed.

All I will say is that these party of putiner's DON'T play, and they rarely if ever get in trouble for overstepping decency bounds.

Nadler let the witness have all the time he needed to finish his opening statement. The interruptions just gave the witness more time and demonstrated to normal people what a whiny child Gohmert is, just like his orange leader.

And anyone causing a disruption.

Next step is a vote for removal.

With regards to Nadler, I have not been impressed.
