Jerry Nadler Brought a Zabar’s Bag Into the Impeachment Hearing; Here’s What Was In It

January 13, 2021 | 6:01 PM - Updated on December 24, 2022 | 7:33 AM

A blurry screenshot of a screenshot of C-Span shows the evidence.

Congressman Jerry Nadler is a leader in the latest impeachment of President Trump. And as he entered the House floor on Wednesday, he brought with him a piece of his Upper West Side home. Specifically, he brought a bag from Zabar’s.

Our question, of course, is what was in it.

So we reached out to Nadler’s people and a spokesman came back with the answer: “A babka and the constitution, what else?”

Also, the president was impeached.

It’s not plastic. It is re-usable light canvas. Vey nice bags. I have a few.

Oh please. He probably has plenty of plastic bags saved up just like many of us do and rather than use the unidentiuable paper one, chose to make a statement by transferring the babka into a plastic bag he already had.
Can’t you find better things to whine about???.

It looks like one of their paper bags. So he’s a Zabar’s lover and an environmentalist! Go Jerry!

It’s one of the reusable ones – they charge a small amount for them.

I used to run into him at Fairway from time to time. Shortly before the first impeachment he was in the checkout in front of me, and was bagging the groceries himself. I thought to myself ‘The man who’s going to lead the impeachment of the President of The United States bags his own groceries? Shouldn’t he have people for that?

Really? Why? What has he done in the last ten years? He was awfully slow to join the first impeachment train. I seen him as very centrist establishment. Oh, right UES. He’s not a REAL UWSer. Give me AOC!

Actually, he is a VERY real UWSer, having lived here for over 50 years, and served his constituents well as both an Assembly member and as a Congressman. That is why he is probably the most popular and beloved USWs rep that I have voted for in MY 50+ years on the UWS. I have worked with him on a couple of issues/projects here on the UWS during that time, and he has always been dedicated and serious about his representation. On what basis do you badmouth him?

We need a follow-up article on this. Your reporter neglected to ask the most important question: “What kind of babka?”

Chocolate? Cinnamon? We the people need to know! Do your job, reporters!

I’ve known Jerry Nadler since 1973, when we both lived on W. 81 Street, just a few minutes from Zabar’s. It is, of course, a liberal citadel — befitting its being the heart and soul of our neighborhood.

Knowing Jerry it was probably chocolate. The bag is not plastic. It costs 5 cents. And why shouldn’t Jerry have bagged his groceries? He is one of us. One of his greatest joys, when not as busy as now, was to talk to constituents on the sidewalks in his district.
We are so fortunate.

I like Congressmen who do their jobs instead of just playing political games with something as serious as bogus impeachments.

Jerry Nadler’s a big fan of fabulous Zabars as so many of us are who’ve lived on the UWS for a long time! I’ve seen Mr. Nadler on line and waiting to enter the fabulous store twice! He has good taste!
