Jerry Nadler Says You’d Be Justified in Shooting a Masked Goon Trying to Kidnap You – Twitchy

Rep. Jerry Nadler went on a bit of a rant, saying that the biggest problem facing the United States is the fascism in the streets. “We see people shot, for what … driving a car?” he asks. Yes, for driving a car into an ICE agent. Context is important.

Nadler calls ICE masked hoodlums and goons and suggests that if you were being snatched up by a man in a mask, you’d think you were being kidnapped and would be justified in shooting the person.

JUST IN: Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler appears to suggest American citizens would be justified in shooting masked ICE agents.

He’s looking for more martyrs to keep a constant stream of new stuff to talk about, that way no one will focus on their fraud anymore.

A whole new level of demonizing law-enforcement.

Reckless blabbering. What an embarrassment he is. Sanction him now

Shot for driving a car. Be honest for once.
