Sean Duffy Leaves Jerry Nadler A Sputtering Mess In Showdown Over Subway Safety

Posted • July 16, 2025: There’s been a new spectator sport on your television sets since January, and it’s highly enjoyable to watch. Namely, clueless Democrat congresscritters aggressively question Trump administration officials and then get their proverbial butts handed to them on a seemingly weekly basis.

The assaults that we've seen are up 60% with MTA in the systems since 2019. […] 🔥 BOOM: Secretary Sean Duffy just left Jerry Nadler BABBLING! "Why do you CONTINUE to lie about people being LIT ON FIRE in subways, or pushed in front of trains?!" NADLER: "Our subways are — Our subways are — RECLAIMING MY TIME!" (…)
