Part of the consequences of court-mandated redistricting in states like New York that they lost Congressional districts.\u00a0 The change pitted Jerry Nadler (D), the fella that led impeachment against\u00a0 Trump as head of the Judiciary Committee, against Carolyn Maloney (D), chairman of the House Oversight and Reform committee, in the same new district. She is the one who just proposed a 20% special income tax on manufacturers of “assault weapons” and holding the hearings demonizing the ‘horrifying’ gun advertising.\u00a0 Both are career pols in their 70s, and walking demos of the need for term limits. Between them they have been in Congress over 50 years.<\/p>\n
Skirting their obvious proclivities for bad politics, they did provide some amusement value:\u00a0 He reminded voters of her oft-times off and , shall we say, less than sober behavior (notiong he never actually accused her of being intozicated.)\u00a0 Her campaign, on the other hand, suggested he was “half dead”, questioned his grip on things, and suggested people read a NY Post article that called Nadler “senile.”<\/p>\n
\nMaloney has told people privately that Nadler is “half dead” and insinuated he won’t be healthy enough to finish another term if he wins, and people associated with her campaign have suggested that Nadler secretly briefly lost consciousness at a campaign stop last week. (His campaign has said that rather than losing consciousness, he tripped on a subway grate.)<\/div>\nShe’s also urged voters to read a New York Post editorial that called Nadler “senile” and questioned his grip on reality.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNadler allies, meanwhile, have whispered reminders about Maloney’s long history of odd remarks and demeanor, which ranges from being called kooky to not entirely sober. A Maloney spokesperson did not respond to questions about those comments.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nCNN<\/a><\/div>\n\n\nFriends for many years, the two Democrats lamented having to run against each other<\/a> \u2014 something that only happened after a court redrew the boundaries of the state\u2019s congressional districts after concluding the legislature botched the process<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t want to run against my good friend, Jerry Nadler,\u201d Maloney said at a recent debate. \u201cWe have been friends and allies for years. Unfortunately, we were drawn into the same district.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
