Late night, Mr. Chairman?

Jerry Nadler appeared to doze off during the Judiciary Committee hearing today as Democrats pushed articles of impeachment against President Trump. The little nap occurred at 10:44 am.

Republican Rep. Mike Johnson was arguing against impeachment as Nadler’s eyes slowly closed. It’s not clear if he was elbowed back into coherency, or if responsibility got the best of him.

Precisely one hour later, Nadler did his best to cover a gigantic yawn:

At a hearing the other day, the Democrat counsel had to nudge a feeble-looking Nadler to bang the gavel against Republicans:

What a complete muppet Jerry Nadler is.

Watch this unelected jack wad saddle Nadler, grab his arm & bang the Chairman’s gavel for him in order to silence @mattgaetz – an elected *member* of Congress.

What a lawless kangaroo court.

Eagle-eyed observers also seemed to catch Nadler drooling during the meeting:
