Rep. Daniel Goldman tries to say the violent crime hearing is a "charade" and witness Madeline Brame, whose Army vet son was killed in NYC, tells him "Don't insult my intelligence… This is why I walked away from the plantation of the Democratic Party." pic.twitter.com/2OBrEmvYQY

Tensions boiled over after Rep. Daniel Goldman (D- N.Y.) suggested that the GOP witnesses were being taken advantage of for the Republicans’ political “charade.”

Speaking to Brame, Goldman said: “The problem is, is that this is a charade to cover up for an abuse of power that they are going around talking incessantly outside of this hearing about Donald Trump. And the purpose of this hearing is to cover up for what they know to be an inappropriate investigation.”

When Brame asked if she could respond, Goldman said ‘no,’ because he didn’t have much time left.

Brame responded anyway. “Don’t insult my intelligence!”
