“We’ve been anxiously awaiting the moment that Nadler takes over the impeachment inquiry,” said a Republican close to Trump. “After Schiff, he’s the most incompetent and unlikable Democrat member. Pelosi was unhappy with Schiff’s performance. Wait until she sees Nadler in action.
Nadler has clashed with Trump since the 1980s and '90s, when Trump nicknamed a then-overweight @RepJerryNadler “Fat Jerry." The men fought particularly over Trump’s efforts to develop land on the West Side of Manhattan along the Hudson River.
Republicans say Nadler’s liabilities were on display this year when he repeatedly referred to former White House Communications Director Hope Hicks as “Ms. Lewandowski” in a closed-door hearing, in what they consider a deliberate sexual smear against Hicks and Corey Lewandowski.
During the Clinton impeachment, Nadler said “an impeachment of a president is an undoing of a national election," expressed concern about due process for Clinton and opposed release of the Starr report, despite now calling for release of Mueller report redactions.
"In Jerry Nadler (#FatJerry), Democrats have done the impossible and managed to find an even more unlikable face for their impeachment hoax than Adam Schiff," said a former White House official.
The inaugural Nadler-led impeachment hearing on Wednesday will feature law professors unlikely to reveal new facts about Trump pushing Ukraine to investigate Democrats.
“They’re going to bring what I can only perceive to be a group of... pious, condescending law professor activist-admission types to talk down to Congress and really talk down to the MAGA movement,” Matt Gaetz said.
