In what can only be described as a dangerous escalation of Democrat rhetoric against President Trump's immigration enforcement, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) has sparked outrage for comments that appear to justify violence against ICE agents doing their jobs.
During a recent House Judiciary Committee hearing, Nadler launched into a tirade about what he called "fascism in our streets" involving "attacks on American citizens by masked hoodlums" - his inflammatory description of federal immigration officers carrying out lawful deportations under Trump's America First agenda.
The New York Democrat's reckless words have drawn fierce criticism across social media, with Americans expressing shock at what appears to be an elected official green-lighting violence against federal agents. One Twitter user shared the Breitbart report, highlighting how "Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) was criticized for appearing to suggest that people would be justified in shooting masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)" agents.
"During a recent House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) criticized what he described as 'fascism in our streets' involving 'attacks on American citizens by masked hoodlums,' seemingly referring to unidentified ICE agents,"
This is the same Jerry Nadler who spent years defending actual violent rioters during the BLM and Antifa riots that burned American cities. Now he's calling ICE agents - heroes protecting our borders and enforcing our laws - "masked hoodlums" deserving of violence?
While some Democrats are trying to walk back Nadler's comments, claiming he was merely criticizing "masked federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers," the damage is done. In an era where Trump's deportation operations are ramping up to historic levels, Nadler's inflammatory language puts brave ICE agents at risk.
This is exactly the kind of unhinged resistance we've come to expect from Democrats who can't accept that Americans voted for secure borders and the rule of law. Instead of supporting the men and women risking their lives to protect our communities from criminal illegal aliens, Nadler chooses to demonize them as "fascists."
How long before some deranged leftist takes Nadler's words as a call to action? The blood will be on his hands.
