Jerry Nadler Waddles Into Hearing, Calls Hope Hicks “Ms. Lewandowski” Three Times

Jerry Nadler is the Chariman of the House Judiciary Committee and he’s currently leading what can only be described as a clown show of an investigation involving the President and his associates. After saying the Mueller report would be the final word, he and other Democrats have decided they want a do-over, which means dragging everyone who’s already been interviewed multiple times back in front of Congress for no real reason whatsoever.

This had Nadler waddling into yet another “hearing,” this time with former Trump associate Hope Hicks being grilled.

And when I saw waddled, I mean that quite literally.

As you can see, his pants have reached new heights. At this rate, he’s going to eventually suffocate before leaving the house.

In the hearing, you got your typical nonsense, except the White House isn’t playing games anymore. That means they are claiming privilege over just about anything they legally can. Most executive communications within the White House in an official capacity were objected to.

For some reason, Jerry Nadler couldn’t seem to get Ms. Hicks’ name correct though.

It doesn’t matter what you think of Hicks. This is sexist and appalling, if you know anything about Cory Lewandowski’s alleged behavior toward her. Here’s some context: https://t.co/OMO6JjwKy9 https://t.co/Z0zPpAsZEc

For the record, Hope Hicks has never been “Ms. Lewandowski.” Furthermore, it’s not even confirmed she and Corey Lewandowski were ever in a relationship. That rumor comes from Michael Wolfe’s garbage dump of a discredited book that came out in years past. Even still, the details involved in those rumors are such that calling Hicks “Ms. Lewandowski” strikes even deeper than it might otherwise.

There are only two explanations here. Nadler is either senile or rabidly sexist, neither of which is much of an excuse given his position.

Because Nadler is a Democrat though, his defenders in the media ran to try to clean up his mess.

pretty sure Nadler didn’t call her “Ms. Lewandowski” on purpose

How does Harwood know? Would he be so understanding if Donald Trump called a woman the wrong name three times in a row? I’m going to say no with near 100% confidence.

Accused sexual assaulter Glenn Thrush also chimed in.

Do you have evidence — either from sources or his prior behavior — that would suggest he did that intentionally? https://t.co/G7eSE2AADw

So Nadler is just incompetent then? That’s not much of a defense.

If he’s so far gone that he can’t get someone’s name right multiple times in an official proceeding, instead using a name that’s never existed in relation to Ms. Hicks, perhaps he shouldn’t be chairing a committee.

Thrush then goes on to blame health issues.

He’s had recent health issues, to be blunt, and if you see him walking around the Capitol you can see him physically manifesting the strain and exhaustion. That’s not to say you are wrong, but there might be another explanation… That’s all I’m driving at… https://t.co/IWaxnnLSq1

Again, if he’s got health issues this serious, what’s he doing in a leadership position?

The fact is that has any Republican done this, there’d be three to four days of contact outrage form the mainstream media in response. But because it’s Jerry Nadler, it gets excused and brushed aside.

This entire investigation is a complete joke and deserves to be treated as such. There is nothing new to be gleaned from interviewing the same people over and over, asking the same questions, and getting the same answers. Time to end this farce and move on. All the Democrats are doing is trying to drag this out into late 2020 to affect the election. That’s a complete abuse of their power and if we had any honest brokers at the traditional press outlets, they’d be calling all this out.

I’ve got a new twitter! Please help by following @bonchieredstate.
