John —
Last week, House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan brought the committee to Lower Manhattan for a field hearing — and got exactly what he wanted when a heckler repeatedly interrupted Adam to call him a “scumbag” as Adam was standing up to the committee’s Republican majority for acting as Trump’s criminal defense counsel.
Just take a look:
"Man removed from NYC crime hearing after shouting insults at Schiff" —The Hill
"'YOU'RE A SCUMBAG!' Hecklers Derail House Judiciary Hearing in NYC By Screaming at Adam Schiff" —Mediaite
"Hecklers Derail House Judiciary Hearing By Shouting At Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff: 'You're A Scumbag!'" —MSN
This is exactly what Jordan wanted, to create a spectacle. He hopes to undermine the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s efforts to hold Trump accountable. He must not succeed. The Congress has no business interfering in a local prosecution or trying to place Donald Trump above the law.
But the attacks on Adam are getting even worse: Fox News host Sean Hannity is amplifying the heckler’s insults to incite more right-wing fury against Adam and distract from Trump’s case.
