Lindsey Boylan has mounted a surprisingly strong bid to unseat Rep. Jerry Nadler in New York’s 10th District.
A Democrat who is mounting a surprisingly robust campaign to unseat House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler has challenged him to a debate in part over what she charges has been his bungled effort to impeach President Trump.
All through 2018 and well into this year, Nadler consistently downplayed the idea of trying to prematurely remove Trump from office, taking his cues from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that a partisan impeachment vote would only be doomed to failure in the Senate and could backfire on Democrats politically.
“Absolutely, no question,” Boylan replied when asked if she thought her primary challenge is what prompted Nadler to initiate what has now become a formal impeachment inquiry. Her challenge, she said, “has clearly piqued him. I wished it piqued him more — and I wished it piqued him earlier because we should be impeaching this president.”
“When is the vote?” she said, repeating the line twice and then adding that it should have been “months ago.” “Congressman Nadler is listening to the speaker of the House because he knows that’s where his source of power comes from,” she said. “That is not leadership for his district, that overwhelmingly supports impeachment. That is not leadership in terms of making hard decisions.”
