Longtime Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler slammed President Trump for “sowing chaos” nationwide after federal agents handcuffed one of his aides inside his lower Manhattan office.
The lawmaker’s verbal tirade came after Department of Homeland Security officers entered the Big Apple office Wednesday and accused his staff of “harboring rioters” in a dramatic confrontation caught on video.
“President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security are sowing chaos in our communities, using intimidating tactics against both citizens and non-citizens in a reckless and dangerous manner,” he said in a statement to Politico.
“If this can happen in a Member of Congress’s office, it can happen to anyone — and it is happening.”
The video, obtained by Gothamist, showed one agent aggressively restraining a teary-eyed female staffer, while another employee asked for a warrant and blocked a second officer from entering a private section of the congressional office, located in the same Varick Street building as federal immigration court.
“I’m a federal officer, we’re here checking on something,” the male agent said to the employee standing in his way, the footage showed.
“We have the right to check. You are harboring rioters in the office,” he argued in the heated back-and-forth that ended with the staffer granting him access to the back office.
Nadler said that the “deeply troubling” incident showed a clear violation of legal protocols.

Next is you, Nadler. You F’ing traitor!
I love it, I only wish they would do more. Above all else I want to see EVERYONE involved in the Russia collusion hoax raided and arrested. I want to see these domestic enemies of the USA, Hillary, Schiiff, Cheney, Pelosi, in a freakin’ chain gang. The collusion hoax was a damn attempted coup and these bastards are still waltzing around free as air? What the hell?
Agree with all that
Well, were they harboring rioterso not?
Bet that whole office smells like s hit
“If this can happen in a Member of Congress’s office, it can happen to anyone — and it is happening.”
MOC or not, I hold no respect for that man.
(Writing gently…it is Sunday after all)
I don’t think they did.

Isn't obstructing the work of a federal employee a crime?
“The White House did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.”

Probably because the WH hadn’t stopped laughing. 🤣
Great point.
“If this can happen in a Member of Congress’s office, it can happen to anyone — and it is happening.”
The J6 protesters know.
""The aide was released after the fiery standoff — which reportedly erupted when a Nadler staffer invited two advocates monitoring ICE activity at the courthouse into the office.Nadler charged that the Trump administration is embracing totalitarian and authoritarian tactics.
“The Trump administration is trying to intimidate members of Congress,” Nadler told the New York Times Saturday.
“They’re behaving like fascists. We have to fight them. We don’t want to be a fascist country.”""
Wrong as usual, Comrade Nadler. You're behaving like commies, and normal Americans are finally starting to fight back.
“Isn’t obstructing the work of a federal employee a crime?”
Obstructing law enforcement is I would imagine.
They actually cut these people a huge break.
Sure doesn’t take much to make ‘em squeal does it?
Excellent !
“fiery” Fiery for his members of staff in NYC = clench his liddle paws, stamp his widdle feet, and screech like a 6-year old girl.
