Jim Jordan brought a MAGA carnival to New York and got exactly the reception he deserved.
The provenance of public members inside remains unknown; the staffer wouldn’t say how members of the public got inside despite not being in the fakeout line, or whether they were specifically picked.
One staffer on the Republican-controlled committee got to pick which journalists were in the actual hearing room, which, of course, has real potential to screw over anyone who ever dared produce critical coverage of a particular party or candidate. The video feed in the overflow press room repeatedly cut out, including during testimony from victims’ and advocates. The solution from a judiciary staffer at one point was to put the YouTube livestream on the TV that provided the feed. This stream also cut out, in what could best be described as early 2000s-level buffering.
The staffer’s solution was ultimately to play the hearing from a cell-phone, placing it on a table at the front of the conference room where audio could be heard. It eventually came back, with repeated dips in volume, but overall seemed to work. “What the fuck is going on here?” one reporter whispered to a colleague.
Indeed, that was also the question of the hour given crime statistics in Manhattan. New York Police Department data indicates that homicides are down 9 percent in Manhattan year-to-date. Shootings have dropped 14 percent in the same period, and robbery and burglary are down in the borough by 10 and 23 percent, respectively.
