NOQ Report - Conservative Christian News, Opinions, and Quotes Congressman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) appeared to nod off twice in the middle of testimony before a House committee yesterday. The target of of the hearing, Attorney General William Barr, had been subjected to Nadler’s attacks throughout the day, but once it was time for others to talk to the cabinet member, Nadler’s stamina seemed to leave him.

This isn’t the first time Congressman Nadler has had challenges staying up during official events. But this one stings a little more than usual because it was his committee, the House Judiciary Committee, of which he is the Chair. He appeared to nod off, his eyes closed and his left hand slowly going limp before regaining alertness momentarily. After scratching the inside of his ear, he folded his hands together an proceeded to nod off again.
Twitter was brutal in their reactions to the lawmaker’s lack of staying power. Of particular note were comments about his mask robbing him of oxygen to the brain.
See…masks deplete the oxygen supply!?? @brianlilley @realDonaldTrump @VeteransAlways_ @bush320 @Realpersonpltcs @John_F_Kennnedy @JamesTodaroMD @_WhiteRabbitt_ https://t.co/L1xdnnjq22

This may be fodder for Republicans to add to the long list of complaints against Jerry Nadler, but it’s really a serious issue. His time in Congress has come and gone, but nobody’s willing to tell him to hang it up.
My armchair diagnosis: He has a heart problem. Not enough blood flow to the brain resulting in not enough oxygen, hence, falling asleep while just sitting. He might die of a heart attack soon. Just my WAG opinion.
