On Monday, the House Judiciary Committee held a field hearing on the rampant violent crime that takes place on a daily basis in Democrat-run New York City due to the pro-criminal policies of Mayor Eric Adams and George Soros-backed District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Yet despite the deteriorating conditions of cities like New York, the Democrat members of the House Judiciary Committee attacked the witnesses and victims of violent crimes as "props." Predictably, the evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC ignored this shameful behavior by the Democrats on the committee.
While turning a blind eye to the Democratic Party's refusal to take the crime sprees in big cities seriously, the networks instead wasted air time on Netflix's apology for its failure to air the live stream of 'Love Is Blind' (ABC), the bankruptcy of David's Bridal (CBS), and news about a possible vaccine for skin cancer (NBC).
In contrast, Fox News Channel's Special Report led with the Democrats' antics. Correspondent Bryan Llenas reported that the Democrats "called today's hearing - orchestrated by Republican Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan - a sham meant to embarrass and intimidate D.A. Bragg because he’s prosecuting former President Trump."
Llenas then went to a clip from the hearing when Georgia Democratic Congressman Hank Johnson, who infamously thought the island of Guam would tip over, smeared victims of heinous crimes:
JOHNSON: Republican witnesses who have used their time to criticize District Attorney Bragg have served as props in a MAGA Broadway production.
AUDIENCE: Oh, knock it off. Come on. Come on!
JOHNSON: The real purpose in coming to New York City—
In the next hour, during Jesse Watters Primetime, guest host Pete Hegseth aired more of the Democrat committee members' outbursts. This time from Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Adam Schiff (D-CA):
NADLER: We are here today in lower Manhattan for one reason and one reason only. The chairman is doing the bidding of Donald Trump. Committee Republicans designed this hearing.
SCHIFF: Let me tell you this.
[Shouting]
SCHIFF: Let me tell you this.
[Shouting]
AUDIENCE MEMBER: You have politicized this entire event, you’re a scum bag.
SCHIFF: Let me tell you this–
Hegseth perfectly summed up the flawed logic of Democrats like Nadler when criticizing the Judiciary Committee's hearing. "So, Nadler accuses Jordan of doing the bidding of Donald Trump. While Alvin Bragg is actually doing the bidding of the Democrat Party," he said.
"Jordan may have held the hearing in New York because Bragg won't cooperate in the committee's investigation. But, more importantly, to highlight the insanity of New York City's crime culture and why it happened," Hegseth noted.
This latest example of bias by omission from the three networks was made possible by WeatherTech on ABC, Aleve on CBS, and Liberty Mutual on NBC. Their information is linked.

4/17/2023
6:03:02 p.m. EasternBRYAN LLENAS: Democrats called today's hearing orchestrated by Republican Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan a sham meant to embarrass and intimidate D.A. Bragg because he’s prosecuting former President Trump.
REP. HANK JOHNSON: Republican witnesses who have used their time to criticize District Attorney Bragg have served as props in a MAGA Broadway production.
AUDIENCE: Oh, knock it off. Come on. Come on!
JOHNSON: The real purpose in coming to New York City—
LLENAS: A fiery hearing at times, today chairman Jordan asked a federal judge to essentially dismiss a lawsuit filed by D.A. Bragg. Bragg wants to block Jordan from being able to subpoena witnesses in a congressional investigation into Bragg's criminal indictment of former President Trump. Court arguments, in that case, begin on Wednesday. Bret?

7:35:51 p.m. EasternPETE HEGSETH: Today in New York City, Congressman Jim Jordan brought the hearing to him. And it got pretty heated. Watch.
REP. JERRY NADLER: We are here today in lower Manhattan for one reason and one reason only. The chairman is doing the bidding of Donald Trump. Committee Republicans designed this hearing.
REP. ADAM SCHIFF: Let me tell you this.
[Shouting]
SCHIFF: Let me tell you this.
[Shouting]
AUDIENCE MEMBER: You have politicized this entire event, you’re a scum bag.
SCHIFF: Let me tell you this–
MADELEINE BRAME: I'm fully aware of what is going on here. That's why I walked away from the plantation of the Democratic Party.
REP. WESLEY HUNT: And ma'am, you ain't the only one that's actually left the plantation, it's happening all over the country.
HEGSETH: So Nadler accuses Jordan of doing the bidding of Donald Trump. While Alvin Bragg is actually doing the bidding of the Democrat Party. Jordan may have held the hearing in New York because Bragg won't cooperate in the committee's investigation. But, more importantly, to highlight the insanity of New York City's crime culture and why it happened.
