House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries accused the Trump administration of “clearly trying to intimidate Democrats” after federal agents handcuffed one of Rep. Jerry Nadler’s aides in his Manhattan office.
The Department of Homeland Security stormed into Nadler’s (D-NY) Big Apple office last week and alleged that his staff was “harboring rioters.” Jeffries (D-NY) largely refrained from delving too much into the specifics of the altercation, but slammed the administration.
“I think the administration is clearly trying to intimidate Democrats, in the same way that they’re trying to intimidate the country,” Jeffries told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday.
Jeffries previously dubbed the arresting of Congressional Democrats a “red line,” but caveated that Dems will decide how to respond “in a time, place, and manner of our choosing.”
“Let me make clear that the House is a separate and co-equal branch of government, the Congress,” he added earlier in the interview. “We don’t work for Donald Trump. We don’t work for the administration.”
“We work for the American people.”
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul similarly ripped into the dramatic encounter.
“Unbelievable. Unbelievable, that’s my reaction to it,” Hochul told The Post Sunday.

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
They were involved in protests and broke the law hiding out in a government building.
I certainly hope they were trying to intimidate.
Define “righties” in this context.
“For all the screeching, you’d think Bongino himself raided Hochul’s dildo drawer with CNN in tow.”
As long as he left the hag’s sybian.
“Define “righties” in this context.”
Every republican who opposes President Trump’s MAGA agenda.
What’s good for the good is soooo much better for the *ssholes that played around with the goose.
As for Nadler’s aid, I hope that the DHS agents were wearing gas masks, since that aid probably carries Nadler’s stench.
“Milkweeds got balls, ese. Watcha!”
“Pinche Putos! This ain’t your turf ese!”
Hmmm...
The reaction (predictably) would indicate that the staffer was to be taken outside and shot in the back of the head, in standard communist style...
I think it was the aide that wipes his butt for him.
Why can’t he hire Americans?
Intimidate? She broke the law, she should be intimidated.
They didn’t root through her lingerie drawer snuffling and snorting like hogs after truffles, did they?
OK, then stick a sock in it, democrats.
Of those two, the questions are which one is dumber than the other, and which one is more corrupt than the other?
So Dems having to obey the law is all new to them and they can’t get used to it.
Still think holding their breath and stamping their feet will make people give up instead of arresting them.
Right. They did every form of slander, including a salacious set of lies by that delusional E. Jean Carroll and tried to keep him off the election ballots and really tried to put him in prison. The View and their audience laughed about putting him in Gitmo.
