Chuck Schumer and Jerrold Nadler humiliate themselves to appease progressives.

There will be more to say about Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech yesterday, but now I’d like to focus on the behavior of two of Congress’s most prominent Jewish members.

(Reportedly the two men nodded at each other but didn’t shake hands.) And then there is the Manhattan representative Jerrold Nadler, who on Tuesday announced on social media that he would attend the speech but believes that “Benjamin Netanyahu is the worst leader in Jewish history” since the 1st century BCE.
