During a House Judiciary hearing on violent crime in New York City at the Jacob Javits Federal Building on Monday, one audience member stood up to heckle committee member Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA).
“You’re a scumbag,” the man yelled at Schiff.
Watch the clip above.
From Mediaite:
In his opening remarks, Schiff condemned the vitriol against Bragg and accused the committee’s Republican majority of serving as Trump’s “criminal defense counsel.” Before he could go any further, a man in the audience stood up, started shouting, and yelled “you’re a scumbag!” at Schiff while Capitol Police moved to escort him out.
The man kept on yelling, accusing committee members of paying “no attention to people who are justifying a bunch of families dying. You guys are scumbags! All of you! Every one of you!” While the man was being led away, another man got up and accused Bragg of being “the reason” for violent crime in New York.
