Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) is questioning Rep. Jerrold Nadlerâs (D-NY) mental state.
While speaking with reporters in Manhattan over the weekend, Maloney mentioned an editorial published by The New York Post highlighting Nadlerâs most recent gaffes.
âThey call him senile,â Maloney said.
She added, âThey cite his performance at the debate where he couldnât even remember who he impeached. He said he impeached Bush.â
Watch her comments below:
The Post editorial argued that Nadler âexposed himself as this close to senileâ during a debate on August 10.
It continues, âThough his bungling of Trump impeachment hearings (Speaker Nancy Pelosi eventually steered later proceedings away from his Judiciary Committee as a result) provided earlier signs. And donât forget his Acela phone call where he got recorded discussing his secret-oops impeachment plans! Fact is, this is his first real race in decades: He may have been losing it for years.â
Nadler is running in New Yorkâs 12th District against Maloney as a result of a new districting map.
Over the weekend, Maloney slammed Nadler during an interview with the Post over his support for an ex-city pol accused of sexual misconduct.
âSomeone who claims to fight for womenâs rights but openly campaigns with a man accused of sexual assault is not who voters should send back to Washington during an extremely fragile moment for womenâs rights,â Maloney said.
She also previously accused Nadler of benefitting from the âold boysâ club.
âThere is an old boysâ network that sticks together and they do not let women in,â Maloney told NY1 in an interview.
She continued, âI was friends with a lot of males that I worked with on the West Side and now they wonât even talk with me. Theyâre all with Jerry, just like glue.â
Still, Nadler has received his fair share of support.
Earlier this month, The New York Times editorial board endorsed Nadler.
âMr. Nadler has served in Congress since 1992, and his seniority has proved a critical asset for New Yorkers. He is the chairman of the powerful Judiciary Committee, and he has used his ample influence and seniority to advance urgent legislative work on gun safety, voting rights, the Trump impeachments and more,â the board wrote.
They added, âHe has a deep knowledge of this district and the issues most important to daily life in the city, especially housing, transportation and safety.â
