A recently unearthed video showed the House descending into chaos as Jerry Nadler, then-chair of the House Judiciary Committee, ignored his Republican colleagues as they shouted procedural objections over his incompetent rambling. Connectors made their objections known in the comments section, labeling the event as “funny” and “absurd.”
For context, the Mueller Report, officially titled Report On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election, was a massive document that sought to prove that Trump was helped in the 2016 election by the Russian government. While unsuccessful, this screed formed the central pillar of the Russia-gate hoax.
In any case, the shameful display, which was captured on May 1, 2019, shows Jerry Nadler shouting over his colleagues who are objecting to the absurd Mueller report. During the chaotic clip, Nadler forgets how to chair a meeting as the whole chamber descends into chaos.
When The Columbia Bugel made a post to X, the paper voiced the negative thoughts many conservatives were feeling. Their post read, “The Absolute State of our Congress. Utter Chaos During House Judiciary Hearing On Mueller Report. Funniest and most absurd thing you’ll see today. Thanks Jerry Nadler for the comedy!”
In the comments under the post, conservatives were incensed by Nadler’s lack of decorum. One such comment said, “RT this video so Americans can see that the House DOES NOT ALLOW REPUBLICANS TO SPEAK. People as a Democrat I want to keep my freedom, my rights, so I walked away for a better America, so I’m voting Republican.”
Building on that point, others mocked the congressman for his poor behavior, saying, “Nadler, a cry baby & sourpuss banging on his King Baby high chair, not a king’s throne but pathetic behavior of a Congressman with incessant blubbering” Another laconically added, “Incompetent Chairman. He is not qualified to lead the meeting. Embarrassing.”
Questioning how Democrats could support his shameful actions, a user asked, “Democrats and Independents take heed. Are you truly satisfied and comfortable with the House majority acting in a manner that represents your best interests? With all due respect, the absurdity of the committees should give pause to these individuals ever representing you again.” Another account wondered, “Is this a preview of how the socialists within @TheDemocrats plan on ramrodding the system, @RepJerryNadler? Who taught you how to chair a meeting?”

Rounding out the comments, some users mocked Nadler and wondered if his age was affecting his cognitive ability. A reply noted, “#Nadler said at the end “Table what” after he JUST made the “ruling”, w/the ayes and nays counts in, that the motion to table was denied He couldn’t even recall what they just had voted to table
I literally feel like I’m watching the movie #GrumpyOldMen.” Responding, one commenter compared the aging Democratic rep to Donald Trump, saying, “This is why we have a billionaire businessman as the president now. A president with balls, [massive ones I am guessing] that is working for the people to bring to power back to us.”
