Video: Schiff Interrupted by Heckler During Hearing in NYC: ‘You’re a Scumbag!’

The House Judiciary Committee’s hearing on crime in New York City was briefly interrupted by a man who apparently had strong views about the local district attorney, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) — and Ralph Nader.

During the hearing focused on “Victims of Violent Crime in Manhattan” that took place in New York City, Schiff was interrupted during his opening statements.

Schiff claimed House Republicans were acting like the “criminal defense counsel for Donald J. Trump.”

“Well, let me tell you this,” Schiff continued before a man in the audience began shouting.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the chairman of the committee, sought to regain order in the room as he asked members of the Capitol Police to remove the man.

The man continued to shout and was heard saying, “You’re a scumbag!”

Watch the moment below:

The heckler continued to shout about Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, whose investigation into former President Donald Trump yielded the first-ever indictment of a former president.

Jordan said, “No, you gotta go. You gotta go. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’ve given you several warnings. You gotta go, unfortunately.”

Finally, the man shouted something about political activist Ralph Nader.
