A Democratic staffer told the New York Post that Nadler, who serves as chairman of the powerful House Judiciary Committee, has earned a nickname from his peers: "Rock-A-Bye Baby." It is apparently a well-kept secret that the abrasive congressman falls asleep during meetings
Another GOP aide "close to the committee" told the Post that Nadler's repeated catnaps were one of the reasons why House Speaker Nancy Pelosi chose House Intelligence Committee Chair Rep. Adam Schiff to conduct the first Trump impeachment hearing in 2019.
- Nadler nearly fainted during a 2019 press conference with then-New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio
- In January 2020, his wife was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
The following clip of Waters at the June Summit of the Americas conference made the rounds on social media at the time
- She stared straight into the camera, expressionless, as she appeared to be totally disengaged from what the speaker was saying, perhaps she was simply exhausted after attending a large political conference that required a trip across the country?
