Rep.

A second person around Nadler said the congressman has refused to give a straight answer when the subject comes up. Nadler, like every member of the House, would be up for reelection in the 2022 midterms. He is unlikely to face a serious primary.

It’s about time there was a Hymishe Chusid with a shtreimel in Congress.
Pincus Ezra Friedlander has been a representative of Jerry Nadler for many years, has worked closely with him, and his deep identification with and connections to the Democratic party are well known.
We need Jerry to stay in Congress until we see Trump in prison.
Why do you want to see Trump in prison? He’s anytimes safer than you.
Nadler initiated and pushed legislation that is contrary to the 3 capitol sins in Judaism. Does he really represent us?????????????????????????
