Rep. Jerry Nadler ripped final argument away from Schiff, thinks Shifty did a terrible job. They are fighting big time!

Dems ask for a closing statement on the night. Nadler, clearly fed up, jumps to his feet and scurries to the mic, ignoring audible protests of lead manager Schiff. Then Nadler gives a terrible lecturing close.
Watch:


"Jerry. Jerry. Jerry," Schiff is heard saying as he took a few steps towards Nadler, but failed to stop him from speaking.

Nadler is seen getting up from his seat and making his way to the microphone to give the closing statement, appearing to catch Schiff off guard. 

Members of the president's legal team and Senate staff visible on camera can be seen smiling as the scene unfolded.

Spokespeople for Schiff and Nadler did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Nadler used the final remarks to reiterate the need for witnesses and dismiss Trump's defense as a series of distractions meant to divert attention from the question of whether the president abused his power in pressuring Ukraine to investigate his political rivals.

"The House managers have proved that question beyond any doubt," he said.

Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, led the House impeachment inquiry before it moved to a full vote, and he has served as the lead House manager throughout the trial, doing the bulk of the speaking in laying out the case against the president. 

Schiff delivered closing remarks during each of the three days of opening arguments for the House managers, making it even more surprising that Nadler would have the final word on Thursday.

Nadler's performance during the trial has irked Republican senators at times, with a few expressing indignation at his suggestion last week that the Senate would be complicit in a cover-up if they do not call witnesses.

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) said late Thursday he would not vote in favor of subpoenaing witnesses and additional documents, making it increasingly likely the trial will move to an acquittal vote later Friday.
