Rep. Adam Schiff gets SILENCED by heckler after declaring the GOP is Trump's 'criminal defense counsel.' READ:
Heading into the hearing, Republicans prepared to step through Bragg's record on violent crime in the Big Apple after voicing outrage over his indictment against the former president. But Democrats quickly sought to put the GOP on defense by zeroing in on gun laws and crime rates in red states.
"[Bragg] completely dismissed gang assault and murder indictments against two of the defendants clearly on video participating in the brutal, savage slaughter of my son," she said during the hearing. "Compare that to Mr. Jordan's Ohio, where the homicide rate is 73% higher than in Manhattan. And on this specific topic of gun violence, the district attorney has to be commended for securing indictments against gun traffickers, ghost gun manufacturers, and other violent criminals," he said.
Jordan quickly replied that it wasn't a proper point of inquiry. Rep. Matt Gaetz later pushed back on the narrative about red-state crime, pinning the nationwide spike in recent years on Democratic megadonor George Soros. “Jim Jordan has got to go” protesters outside the federal building in New York Jim Jordan is in town git a sham hearing to tamper with the jury pool in Bragg’s indictment of Donald Trump.
