Representative <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jerry-nadler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jerry Nadler</a> (D-NY) sure seems carefree about World War III potentially starting over Ukraine.
On Thursday, a reporter caught up with the septuagenarian, who promptly spilled the beans that he would not care whatsoever if Ukraine invaded Russia, let alone if they did so with U.S.-supplied weapons.
&#8220;Are you concerned that they will enter into Russian territory?&#8221; The Epoch Times’ Liam Cosgrove said of Ukraine.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not concerned. I wouldn&#8217;t care if they did,&#8221; Nadler said.
After the reporter explained that Russia could view this as a U.S.-backed invasion of Russia, the congressman was dismissive and even smirked about the intensification of the war.
Nadler also refused to say if he would condemn Ukraine if they used American-made F-16s to attack Russia.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Last week, it was <a href="https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-russia-war-f16-biden-a281e3cd1474b2e6f453946075824565" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that Biden backed sending American F-16s to Russia. It is uncertain whether the U.S. will send its own F-16s or whether it will simply allow European countries to export American F-16s to Ukraine. This decision came after months of the Biden administration denying that the U.S. would ever do so. Biden was reportedly pressured into sending the jets by the Pentagon and European allies. He eventually relented.

In response, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/ukraines-army-will-see-long-term-significance-f-16s-ex-ambassador-1801972#:~:text=%22We%20see%20that%20the%20Western,involves%20enormous%20risks%20for%20themselves." target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, “We see that the Western countries are still adhering to the escalation scenario.&#8221;
Grushko intimated that the West could suffer even more consequences if that happened.
<p class="paragraph inline-placeholder" data-uri="cms.cnn.com/_components/paragraph/instances/paragraph_D6F4E560-7D38-F29E-28D9-3A1BCBEBF173@published" data-editable="text" data-component-name="paragraph" data-analytics-observe="off">&#8220;It involves enormous risks for themselves,&#8221; Grushko added. &#8220;In any case, this will be taken into account in all our plans, and we have all the necessary means to achieve the set goals.&#8221;
Grushko&#8217;s assessment isn&#8217;t simply Russian propaganda.
The Biden administration has long felt that providing the planes could prolong the war and increase its volatility.
Per <a href="https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-russia-war-f16-biden-a281e3cd1474b2e6f453946075824565" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Associated Press</a>, &#8220;…with this decision, the Biden administration has made a sharp reversal, after refusing to approve any transfer of the aircraft or conduct training for more than a year due to worries that it could escalate tensions with Russia. U.S. officials also have argued against the F-16 by saying that learning to fly and logistically support such an advanced aircraft would be difficult and take months.&#8221;
What does escalation look like? Well, at the very least it means more dead Ukrainians and Russians. The death toll in the war is already in the hundreds-of-thousands. At worst, it means that NATO is dragged into the war — which means that the U.S. would be also.
You wouldn&#8217;t think that is a laughing matter for a member of Congress. Nadler is pretty nonchalant about it all — even absolving himself of any responsibility. It is a pretty serious issue that requires statesmanship, but we&#8217;re not led by serious men at this time. We are being sleepwalked by fools like Nadler into war with nuclear power.

Congressman <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/jerry-nadler/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jerry Nadler</a> (D-NY) reportedly fought with fellow Democratic leaders  — including House Speaker <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/nancy-pelosi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nancy Pelosi</a> (D-CA) and Impeachment Manager <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/adam-schiff/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Schiff</a> (D-CA) — over the first impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump.
According to a new book from Politico Playbook&#8217;s Rachael Bade and The Washington Post&#8217;s Karoun Demirjian — &#8220;Unchecked: The Untold Story Behind Congress’s Botched Impeachments of Donald Trump&#8221; — <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/nadler-wins-vicious-battle-of-far-left-nyc-house-incumbents-prompted-by-botched-redistricting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nadler</a> worried that the proceedings were &#8220;unconstitutional&#8221; and <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/politics/jerry-nadler-clashed-with-pelosi-dems-over-trump-impeachment-deemed-it-unconstitutional-per-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voiced concern</a> over not allowing Trump a vigorous defense.
Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nadler-feuded-schiff-pelosi-unconstitutional-impeachment-donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">detailed excerpts</a> of the book, set to be released on October 18, noting that Nadler specifically took issue with Schiff&#8217;s plan to proceed with impeachment regarding Trump&#8217;s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — without ensuring the former president had due process.
&#8220;It’s unfair, and it’s unprecedented, and it’s unconstitutional,&#8221; Nadler reportedly said, complaining that his Judiciary Committee would not have the chance to cross-examine the witnesses as they had in the past.
&#8220;I don’t appreciate your tone. I worry you’re putting us in a box for our investigation,&#8221; was Schiff&#8217;s alleged response to Nadler&#8217;s objections.
Pelosi reportedly all-but sidelined Nadler then, choosing not to give the Judiciary Committee the same power it had enjoyed during previous impeachments.
&#8220;She didn’t want the Judiciary panel to interview witnesses at all. Pelosi simply didn’t trust the panel — which was stacked with liberal crusaders and hotheaded conservatives — to handle the rollout of the complex Ukraine narrative with the careful, compelling treatment it required,&#8221; the authors wrote. &#8220;She couldn’t afford another Nadler screwup. The Judiciary chairman could focus on the legal business of crafting the articles of impeachment and have academics testify, she allowed. But that was it.&#8221;
Nadler continued to push back, however, reportedly warning Schiff and Pelosi that they would be vulnerable to complaints about the process if they refused to allow Trump to face his accusers or mount a defense.
&#8220;If we’re going to impeach, we need to show the country that we gave the president ample opportunity to defend himself,&#8221; he said — but Pelosi and Schiff were reportedly concerned that Trump&#8217;s attorneys might say something that could damage President Joe Biden ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
The alleged response from Schiff&#8217;s team was unequivocal: &#8220;F*** Donald Trump.&#8221;
Nadler tried once more to sway the two, saying that he &#8220;resented&#8221; being told how to run his own committee and allegedly asking, &#8220;They’re going to argue we don’t have due process for Trump. Why make that argument real?&#8221;
&#8220;I don’t really care about your resentment. Neither the Speaker nor I agree,&#8221; Schiff reportedly shot back.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jerrold-nadler" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rep. Jerry Nadler</a> crushed fellow liberal House member Carolyn Maloney Tuesday in a bruising Democratic primary that forced <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-city" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manhattan</a>’s chattering class to choose between two longtime allies in a redrawn congressional district.
</div>
<div>
The lawmakers, who have spent a combined 60 years in the House of Representatives, clashed bitterly during the primary battle for New York’s 12th Congressional district, with Maloney’s camp floating a claim the 75-year-old Nadler was senile. After her loss, Maloney, 76, blamed “sexist systems and misogyny.”
</div>
<div>
“I’m really sad that we no longer have a woman representing Manhattan in Congress,” Maloney told dejected supporters Tuesday night.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
As Nadler &quot;addressed boosters on Upper West Side Tuesday night, the mood at Maloney party in Chelsea turned mutinous, as her supporters booed and jeered the House Judiciary Committee chair’s televised speech, with some yelling &#39;Traitor!&#39;&quot;<a href="https://t.co/mC2SKeKHrX">https://t.co/mC2SKeKHrX</a> via <a href="https://twitter.com/nypmetro?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@nypmetro</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div>
<div>
Nadler won just over 55% of the vote to Maloney’s 24.4%. Attorney Suraj Patel, who was challenging Maloney for a third consecutive cycle, had 19.1%
</div>
<div>
“I think the voters made their voices heard tonight,” Nadler said at his victory party on Manhattan’s tony Upper West Side.
</div>
<div>
The battle came about when lawmakers in New York’s Democrat-led state legislature screwed up attempts to gerrymander House districts and mashed key parts of Nadler’s old district with Maloney’s. It became an all-out war between Nadler, the portly chariman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Maloney, who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
</div>
<div>
“I think Carolyn and I have worked on a lot of things together but I think I have a more principled, progressive record,” Nadler told reporters Tuesday.
“She voted for war in Iraq, I voted against it,” he said. “She voted for the Patriot Act, I voted against it. She voted against the Iran deal, I voted for the Iran deal.”
</div>
<div>
The race became especially bitter after Nadler boasted in a magazine interview about bringing mass transit pork back to Manhattan and Maloney called him a liar.
</div>
<div>
“He was not at the groundbreaking, he was not at the ribbon-cutting, he was not at any of the meetings I had with the MTA,” she said of Nadler’s role in a key subway project. “We had hearings on it in the city, and he never came to any of them. He’s lying.”
</div>
<div>
Just last weekend, Maloney quoted a <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/19/some-catty-notes-on-nys-dem-house-primaries/">New York Post editorial </a>that described Nadler as “this close to senile” after he mixed up presidents Trump and Bush in a debate while bragging about getting Trump impeached twice.
</div>
<div>
“They call him ‘senile,’” said Maloney. “They cite his performance at the debate where he couldn’t even remember who he impeached. He said he impeached Bush!”
</div>
<div>
Perhaps the two most powerful liberal voices in New York, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and The New York Times, both endorsed Nadler in the race.

Nadler Wins Vicious Battle Of Far-Left NYC House Incumbents Prompted By Botched Redistricting

2022 Midterms

Jerrold Nadler

New York City

U.S. House of Representatives

As Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) scramble for the one seat left on New York&#8217;s new district map, the attacks are getting personal.
Seventy-six-year-old Maloney <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/news/they-call-him-senile-trainwreck-democratic-primary-between-two-house-lifers-gets-intense-as-maloney-questions-nadlers-mental-state/?utm_source=mostpopular">suggested</a> during a Saturday meeting with reporters in Manhattan that Nadler is senile by referencing a recent editorial that pointed out Nadler&#8217;s debate gaffes.
“They call him senile,” Maloney told reporters. “They cite his performance at the debate where he couldn’t even remember who he impeached. He said he impeached Bush.”
The New York Post editorial that Maloney referred to described 75-year-old Nadler as &#8220;<a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/19/some-catty-notes-on-nys-dem-house-primaries/">this close to senile</a> in that epic NY1 debate,&#8221; when he said he voted to impeach former President George W. Bush instead of former President Donald Trump.
Nadler told a reporter on Tuesday that he would not dignify Maloney&#8217;s remarks with a response.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
.<a href="https://twitter.com/JerryNadler?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JerryNadler</a> tells me he won’t dignify Maloney’s insinuation that he’s senile with a response. <a href="https://t.co/TFwX2LGC3U">pic.twitter.com/TFwX2LGC3U</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Maloney is not free from gaffes herself.
During an on the record conversation with the New York Times editorial board, Maloney said of President Joe Biden, &#8220;off the record, he&#8217;s not running again.&#8221; The publication had never agreed to her terms and thus printed the remark.
And during a CNN hit in early August, Maloney praised Biden while suggesting he wouldn&#8217;t run again in 2024.
“Mr. President, I apologize,” Maloney said during the hit. “I want you to run. I happen to think you won’t be running, but when you run or if you run, I will be there 100%. You have deserved it. You are a great president, and thank you for everything you’ve done for my state and all the states and all the cities in America. Thank you, Mr. President.&#8221;
Neither Nadler nor Maloney immediately responded to requests for comment from The Daily Wire. Their rivalry has developed, after three decades of the lawmakers serving peaceably side by side, after the re-drawing of Manhattan&#8217;s East and West Sides into one district.
While Nadler <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/22/us/politics/new-york-primary.html">seeks to portray himself</a> as a staunch progressive and one of the last Jewish congressmen who represents one of the most Jewish cities in the world, Maloney has accused him of playing identity politics (though she has focused her campaign on the importance of re-electing a powerful woman post Roe v. Wade).

Carolyn Maloney Suggests Jerry Nadler Is Senile As NY Primary Heats Up

Democrats

New York

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> took a shot at Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) Tuesday evening by endorsing her in the Democratic primary for New York&#8217;s 12th Congressional District.
&#8220;A vote for Carolyn Maloney in NY-12 is a vote for the future!&#8221; Trump wrote on social media. &#8220;She is a kind and wonderful person, who has always said terrific things about me, and will support me no matter what I do, just as I supported her very early on. She begged for a check with no quid pro quo, and I gave it to her. In fact, I gave her many.&#8221;
&#8220;On the other hand, Jerry Nadler is likewise a hard driving man of the people, whose energy and attention to detail is unlike anyone else in Congress. He is high energy, sharp, quick-witted, and bright,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;You can’t go wrong with either, but Carolyn Maloney is the better man. She will lead our Country into a very GREEN and prosperous future. Carolyn has my Complete and Total Endorsement, she will never let our Conservative Movement down!&#8221;
Maloney appeared angered by the endorsement as she immediately sought to distance herself from it, realizing that it could potentially damage her campaign in the hotly contested race against Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY).
&#8220;This is laughable and I reject any endorsement from Donald Trump,&#8221; Maloney tweeted. &#8220;Trump doesn’t respect women. He instigated the attacks on January 6th and claimed that the 2020 election was a big lie.&#8221;
&#8220;He should be more concerned about the investigation I’m leading as Chair of the Oversight Committee into the storage of his classified documents at Mar-a-Lago,&#8221; Maloney continued. &#8220;Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll pass.&#8221;

Trump Torches Democrat Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney In Endorsement Of Her: She’s ‘The Better Man’

Trump Torches Democrat Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney In Endorsement Of Her

Democratic Party

Democratic New York Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney is dipping into her retirement fund in order to keep her seat, according to a new report.
The <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/18/nyregion/carolyn-maloney-jerrold-nadler-primary.html">New York Times</a> reported Monday that the 76-year-old Maloney, who has been in Congress since 1992, personally loaned her campaign some $900,000, citing campaign finance filings released Friday. When combined with the $600,000 in outside donations her campaign received in the second quarter of the year and money still unspent, Maloney currently sports a war chest of around $1.5 million, with just a few weeks left before a hotly-contested August 23 primary.
A spokeswoman for Maloney confirmed to NYT that the funds had come out of her House retirement account. Maloney also confirmed the report. “There was never a doubt that I would continue to fight for the people in my district,” she told the paper. “Thus, I decided to use some of my retirement savings to invest in this campaign.”
Maloney is in a heated contest for the newly-redrawn 12th district with fellow Democrat Jerry Nadler. Maloney and Nadler previously served in neighboring districts in Manhattan, but Congressional <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/proposed-new-york-congressional-maps-set-up-primary-battlegrounds-for-high-profile-democrats">redistricting maps</a> redrawn by a court-appointed special master put the two colleagues in the same district, setting up a battle for the seat.  Both Maloney and Nadler are powerful members of the House Progressive Caucus, and both are chairs on influential committees in the House of Representatives. Maloney currently sits as chairwoman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, while Nadler chairs the Judiciary Committee.
For his part, Nadler&#8217;s financial disclosures show that he received $500,000 in donations in the second quarter, but he did not give himself any loans, leaving him with about $1.2 million in cash on hand. Nadler&#8217;s campaign co-manager, Julian Gerson assured NYT that “[we] have the resources we need to run a campaign that’ll talk to every voter.”
A third candidate, Suraj Patel, reported a cash-on-hand figure that was just about half of Nadler&#8217;s war chest. According to his <a href="https://www.surajpatel.nyc/">campaign website</a>, Patel is an attorney and community organizer who served on former President Obama&#8217;s 2008 and 2012 campaigns and in the White House. He challenged Maloney for the nomination in 2020, and came within 3 points of defeating her.
NYT notes that Maloney gave out the loan in late May, after the new Congressional maps had been approved by the Courts. The loan likely also came after the <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/21-12_m6hn.pdf">Supreme Court</a> sided with Senator Ted Cruz in a lawsuit against the Federal Election Commission over loans he had made to his re-election campaign. In a 6-3 ruling delivered on May 16, the same day New York&#8217;s redrawn maps were unveiled, the Court ruled that limitations on the amount of money a candidate can loan to his campaign violates his or her First Amendment right to conduct political speech. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion that limiting how much money a candidate can loan creates risks that inhibits candidates, especially new and unknown ones, from loaning money to themselves in the first place, thus limiting their ability to conduct political expression.
In addition to the heated primary in NY-12, neighboring NY-10, Nadler&#8217;s old district, is in the midst of a chaotic primary of its own. A total of 18 Democrats are vying for the now-open seat, including Rep. Mondaire Jones, who currently represents the 17th district, former New York City mayor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-de-blasio-announces-he-will-run-for-congress">Bill de Blasio</a>, and former Trump impeachment counsel Daniel Goldman.

Top Democrat Dips Into Her Own Retirement Fund In Bid To Keep Her Seat: Report

Report: Top Democrat Dips Into Her Own Retirement Fund In Bid To Keep Her Seat

House Democrats

Second Amendment advocate Dana Loesch tore into House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) on Thursday for claiming that research does not back up the idea that &#8220;women&#8217;s gun ownership increases their safety.&#8221;
&#8220;There is no research to support the idea that women&#8217;s gun ownership increases their safety,&#8221; Nadler said on Thursday as lawmakers marked up a package that would raise the age limit for Americans to buy semi-automatic rifles to 21, as well as ban gun trafficking, require that all guns are traceable, place restrictions on high-capacity magazines, and more.
The legislation follows a tragic shooting in Ulvade, Texas, in which a shooter slaughtered 19 children and two teachers.
If the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/7910?s=1&amp;r=1">Protect Our Kids Act</a> gets the necessary votes, Nadler <a href="https://thehill.com/news/house/3509552-nadler-seeks-to-preempt-gop-arguments-on-gun-reform/">told reporters Thursday</a>, it will be on the House floor next week. It is unlikely that it would pass the Senate.
“And we’re working on the assault weapons ban,” <a href="https://thehill.com/news/house/3509520-nadler-says-assault-weapons-ban-will-hit-house-floor-if-we-have-the-votes/">he added</a>, “and if we have the votes then we’ll take that to the vote, too.”
Loesch, who also hosts a nationally syndicated radio show, fired back at Nadler in a tweet that listed a slew of stories about women who defended themselves with guns.
&#8220;Easy for a man protected by guns to mansplain to women that we should disarm,&#8221; she said.

A number of high-profile House Democrats may be forced to campaign against one another in New York&#8217;s Democratic primaries, under new House maps released Monday.
New York Special Master Jonathan Cervas released his maps for the New York State Senate and Congressional delegation. Cervas, a professor of political science at Carnegie Mellon University, was appointed by the New York State Supreme Court to oversee the redrawing of district maps, after the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-yorks-highest-court-strikes-down-democrats-gerrymandered-congressional-state-senate-maps">New York State Court of Appeals</a> struck down the maps as partisan gerrymanders. The newly-drawn Congressional maps create primary battlegrounds in two districts where high-profile incumbent Democrats will have to campaign against one another.
The first intra-party battleground is in New York&#8217;s 12th Congressional District. The seat is currently held by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, and encompasses the Upper East Side of Manhattan, as well as parts of Queens and Brooklyn. Maloney&#8217;s district currently borders New York&#8217;s 10th District, which encompasses the Upper West Side, as well as Midtown and Lower Manhattan, and parts of Brooklyn. The district is held by Rep. Jerry Nadler. But under the new maps, both Nadler and Maloney&#8217;s homes would be in the 12th District, putting them into a primary against one another.
Both Nadler and Maloney are powerful and longtime members of the Democratic Caucus. Nadler is the chairman of the powerful House Judiciary Committee, and is a member of the House Progressive Caucus. He won a special election in September 1992 to replace the late Rep. Ted Weiss, and was elected to a full term that November. Maloney was also elected to Congress in 1992. She is the chairwoman of the Oversight and Reform Committee, and the Vice Chair of the Joint Economic Committee. She is also a member of the Progressive Caucus.
Both Nadler and Maloney released statements to Twitter announcing their intention to run in the 12th District. “I believe these newly proposed lines by the Special Master violate the NYS constitutional requirements of keeping communities of interest together and keeping the cores of existing districts largely intact,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/JerryNadler/status/1526267248356237316?s=20&amp;t=1qWvOxxnX9dSMPdIKmt7dQ">Nadler</a> wrote on Twitter Monday. &#8220;However, provided that they become permanent, I very much look forward to representing the people of the newly created 12th District of New York.&#8221;
&#8220;I am proud to announce that I will be running to continue to represent the 12th Congressional District,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/CarolynBMaloney/status/1526271453531881479">Maloney</a> wrote. &#8220;A majority of the communities in the newly redrawn NY-12 are ones I have represented for years and to which I have deep ties.&#8221;
The second high-profile battleground is the 16th Congressional District. Cook Political Report House Editor <a href="https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/1526247612244013057">Dave Wasserman</a> reports that Rep. Mondaire Jones, who currently represents the 17th Congressional District, will be on a collision course with fellow Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the newly-drawn 16th. Jones serves on the Judiciary, Education, and Democratic Steering Committees, and is one of two openly gay black members of Congress. He is also the co-chair of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus. Bowman is the only male member of the &#8220;Squad&#8221; and is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. He also serves on the Education and Science Committees. Jones and Bowman are both members of the Congressional Black and Progressive Caucuses.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) called for the federal government to intervene in the case of Kyle Rittenhouse on Friday after a jury found Rittenhouse not guilty on all counts stemming from him shooting three men during a riot last year in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
&#8220;This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ,&#8221; Nadler wrote in a <a href="https://twitter.com/RepJerryNadler/status/1461775482496724998">tweet</a>. &#8220;Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in First Amendment-protected protest.&#8221;
Top responses to Nadler included:
<ul>
<li>Dan McLaughlin, National Review: &#8220;White Congressman who represents Wall Street district calls for retrial of criminal defendant acquitted of shooting three white men.&#8221;</li>
<li>Dana Loesch, radio host: &#8220;The Chairman of the Judiciary Cmte just lied by calling Rittenhouse an ‘armed person crossing state lines.’ His gun was never in Illinois. His dad lives in, and Rittenhouse works in, Kenosha, 20 min away from his mom’s house in Antioch. This is an irresponsible ploy to incite.&#8221;</li>
<li>Matthew Kolken, attorney: &#8220;Democrats are inciting a riot.&#8221;</li>
<li>Ken Cuccinelli, former Virginia Attorney General: &#8220;This astounding act of legislative tyranny comes from the man currently Chairing the House Judiciary Committee! If anyone needs a reminder why Patrick Henry and so many others have valued a jury system so highly, look no farther than this vile tweet.&#8221;</li>
<li>Matt Whitlock, political strategist: &#8220;Genuinely baffled by the Democrat messaging here. They wanted a clearly innocent kid to get charged with murder to make up for what they see as other injustices in the system. What would that accomplish?&#8221;</li>
</ul>
The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-kyle-rittenhouse-found-not-guilty">reported</a>:
<blockquote>Rittenhouse, who is now 18, lives in Antioch, a northern suburb of Chicago about 15 miles from Kenosha. On August 25 of last year when he was 17, Rittenhouse decided to patrol the downtown Kenosha area alongside other armed men in order to protect a used car dealership from looting and vandalism. The city had devolved into rioting over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a black man, by a white Kenosha police officer.
Rittenhouse took a medical kit and armed himself with a Smith &amp; Wesson M&amp;P15, which is an AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle that police say his friend illegally bought for him.
While guarding the used car dealership, he was chased by protesters and ended up fatally shooting two people, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and injuring a third, Gaige Grosskreutz. The defendant and the three men he shot are all white.
He was arrested and <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/7047765-Kyle-Rittenhouse-Criminal-Complaint.html">charged</a> with five felony charges and one misdemeanor charge. The most serious charge was intentional homicide, Wisconsin’s top murder charge, which carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison. The others were reckless homicide, attempted homicide, two counts of reckless endangerment, and being a minor illegally in possession of a firearm.
On Monday, the judge dismissed the misdemeanor firearm charge, which was considered the easiest charge for the state to prove. Previously, Rittenhouse was also charged with violating curfew, but that charge was <a href="https://www.lakemchenryscanner.com/2021/11/09/judge-dismisses-curfew-charge-against-kyle-rittenhouse-as-prosecution-rests-their-case/">dismissed</a> last week by the judge as well.</blockquote>

Top Democrat Calls For Justice Department To Intervene In Rittenhouse Case, Conduct ‘Federal Review’

On Friday, after witnessing attacks on Jews in New York City by supporters of Hamas and the Palestinians, former NY State Assemblyman Dov Hikind, who served as a Democrat, absolutely eviscerated four New York Democratic leaders, Senator Chuck Schumer, Governor Andrew Cuomo, New York City mayor Bill de Blasio, and Rep. Jerry Nadler, charging that they were cowards for remaining silent in the face of such violence.
Regarding Schumer, who has used his name, closely akin to the Hebrew word “Shomer,” which means guardian, to claim that he is a “protector” of the Jewish people, Hikind snapped, “He’s not protecting anybody except himself. He’s so terrified of AOC running against him that he is betraying the fundamental values, betraying his people.”
After noting that de Blasio was “missing in action,” Hikind turned to Cuomo, ripping, “Where is the &#8216;tough guy?’ Governor Cuomo? You can’t find him, either. Where’s he hiding? Under what rock is he hiding? Why isn’t he speaking out?”
He added, “We gotta get flashlights and we gotta look for de Blasio and Cuomo and we gotta look for Schumer, we gotta look for Nadler because they are cowards.”
Transcript of video below:
<blockquote>Terror directed against the Jewish people of New York and all over the country. But in New York, Jews are being beaten up in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Jewish blood is running in the streets of New York; people being intimidated; people being assaulted; people ending up in the hospital by those who are filled with venom and hate.
It’s called anti-Semitism. Clearly. And where is the political leadership? Where is the progressive leaders that stand up for human rights and civil rights but that doesn’t include the Jewish people? Jews are not part of that. Mayor de Blasio, missing in action, intimidated, acting cowardly, not doing the right thing. Where’s the “tough guy?”
Where is the “tough guy?’ Governor Cuomo? You can’t find him, either. Where’s he hiding? Under what rock is he hiding? Why isn’t he speaking out?
And of course, you have the great senator, the powerful senator from New York, the “protector” of the Jewish people, what he has told us for the past 25 years. He’s not protecting anybody except himself. He’s so terrified of AOC running against him that he is betraying the fundamental values, betraying his people.
Jewish blood in the streets of New York! And they are silent. And Jerry Nadler? You don’t hear from Jerry Nadler. Where is he? Can anyone find — we gotta get flashlights and we gotta look for de Blasio and Cuomo and we gotta look for Schumer, we gotta look for Nadler because they are cowards.
The double standard when it comes to the Jewish people is unbelievable. I spoke to the father of a young man, Joey, who was beaten senseless in the streets of New York. Senseless! Ends up in the hospital, Bellevue Hospital. The father says, “What in God’s name is going on? Where is the political leadership?”
These attacks are happening constantly; many of them are not being reported. And our political leadership is missing in action. They are simply cowards. Cowards is what they are.</blockquote>

Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is facing a flood of calls to resign from multiple members of New York’s congressional delegation, including House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler.
Nadler, a leading Democrat in the U.S. House, put out a call for the Democratic governor to resign on Friday morning. Nadler is one of the highest-profile Democrats to back calls for Cuomo’s ouster.
“The bravery individuals have shown in coming forward to share their experiences with Governor Cuomo is inspiring, and I stand with them in support. The repeated accusations against the Governor, and the manner in which he has responded to them, have made it impossible for him to continue to govern at this point,” Nadler said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/RepJerryNadler/status/1370396670995873796">statement</a>.
&#8220;Governor Cuomo is guaranteed due process under law. Although his accusers are credible and the charges against him are serious indeed, the investigations under way by New York State Attorney General Letitia James and the Albany police must be permitted to run their course before we reach judgment about his liability for any alleged criminal act,” he continued. “But there is a difference between formal investigations that may end in criminal charges and a question of confidence in our political leadership. The question before us is squarely a political judgment.”
“Governor Cuomo has lost the confidence of the people of New York. Governor Cuomo must resign,” Nadler concluded.
Nadler’s call for Cuomo to resign has been shared and echoed by many of New York’s representatives in Washington, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman.

Ocasio-Cortez and Bowman released a joint statement Friday morning calling on Cuomo to resign over the allegations, as well as evidence his administration hid data on COVID-19 fatalities among one of the state’s most vulnerable populations: nursing home residents.
“This week, the second sexual assault allegation and the sixth harassment allegation was leveled against Governor Cuomo. The fact that this latest report was so recent is alarming, and it raises concerns about the present safety and well-being of the administration’s staff. These allegations have all been consistent and highly-detailed, and there are also credible media reports substantiating their accounts,” the joint <a href="https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1370399977684488196">statement</a> said.
“Unfortunately, the Governor is not only facing the accusation that he engaged in a pattern of sexual harassment and assault. There is also the extensive report from the attorney general that found the Cuomo administration hid data on COVID-19 nursing home deaths from both the public and the state legislature,” the lawmakers continued. “As members of the New York delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives, we believe these women, we believe the reporting, we believe the attorney general, and we believe the fifty-five members of the New York State legislature, including the State Senate Majority Leader, who have concluded that Governor Cuomo can no longer effectively lead in the face of so many challenges.”

Cuomo has come under heavy scrutiny and criticism in recent weeks over multiple allegations of sexual harassment, and over long-standing accusations that his emergency policies worsened the pandemic in nursing homes. The nursing home accusations, which have appeared among right-wing critics and select Democrats for months, did not gain widespread attention by Democrats and the media until recently.

Gov. Cuomo ‘Must Resign,’ Says Jerry Nadler, AOC, Other Top Democrats

House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) has called on the Department of Justice to prosecute everyone involved in the January 6 Capitol building attack. His call comes less than a week after The Washington Post reported that some officials were engaged in early discussions on whether or not to pursue every charge.
“It is critical that all of the perpetrators of this insurrectionist attack be identified, investigated, arrested, charged and subsequently prosecuted. The Department of Justice must dedicate every available resource to its offices across the country in order to ensure that all of these individuals are held accountable,” Nadler told the DOJ in a letter.
Nadler’s <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/uploadedfiles/prosecution_letter_to_doj_1.29.2021.pdf?utm_campaign=5688-519">letter</a>, addressed to acting Attorney General Monty Wilkinson, also called on the DOJ to provide guidelines for how charges will be pursued, and what criteria will be used to differentiate between those charged with felonies and those with misdemeanors.
Nadler also requested information about the “strike force” looking into possible sedition charges. Back in mid-January, the DOJ referenced a “strike force” that would study whether to bring sedition charges, which carry a maximum 20 year prison sentence, against some of the participants in the Capitol building riot, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/12/capitol-riot-sedition-charges-458309">reports</a> Politico.
“The events of January 6 were an attack on our democracy and, in effect, our entire country. We thank you for the role that the Department’s investigators and prosecutors will play in bringing those responsible to justice, and in helping to prevent any such future attacks,” concluded the Democratic House Judiciary Chairman’s letter.
Nadler’s letter comes a week after The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/doj-capitol-rioters-charges-debate/2021/01/23/3b0cf112-5d97-11eb-8bcf-3877871c819d_story.html">reported</a>, citing multiple people familiar with discussions, that law enforcement officials were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doj-officials-debate-whether-to-decline-charges-against-some-at-capitol-riot-report">debating whether to pursue charges</a> against those who were only suspected of entering the Capitol building.
“If an old man says all he did was walk in and no one tried to stop him, and he walked out and no one tried to stop him, and that’s all we know about what he did, that’s a case we may not win,” one official told The Washington Post on the condition of anonymity.
The report emphasized those discussions were only in their early stages, and nothing had been decided. The report also noted that prosecutors have other options at their disposal. For example, people accused of jumping the fence at the White House in the past have been offered deferred plea agreements, &#8220;a diversion program akin to pretrial probation in which prosecutors agree to drop charges if a defendant commits no offenses over a certain time period,&#8221; reports the Post.
In a statement to The Washington Post, a DOJ spokesperson seemingly denied that not everyone would be charged: “There is absolute resolve from the Department of Justice to hold all who intentionally engaged in criminal acts at the Capitol accountable.”
“We have consistently made clear that we will follow the facts and evidence and charge individuals accordingly. We remain confident that the U.S. District Court for Washington, DC can appropriately handle the docket related to any resulting charges.”
