A House Democrat<\/u><\/a> faced backlash online for dismissing the testimony of a reporter who has covered multiple Antifa riots, including the riots surrounding the Kyle Rittenhouse murder acquittal.<\/p>\n

Rep. Dan Goldman<\/u><\/a>, D-N.Y., took shots at Townhall senior writer Julio Rosas during Tuesday\u2019s House Homeland Security Committee hearing on left-wing violence in an attempt to discredit him and former Department of Homeland Security chief of staff Scott Erickson as witnesses.<\/p>\n

Goldman attacked committee witnesses, accusing Erickson of trying to “gaslight” Congress about left-wing violence in America “as if Antifa, which Mr. Rosas, apparently the expert now in organized terrorist activity, has overruled the FBI director who says\u2026 there\u2019s a headline that says \u2018Antifa is an ideology, not an organization.\u2019”<\/p>\n

Rosas blasted Goldman later in the hearing, quipping it is “funny to be lectured by an heir to the Levi Strauss Corporation.”<\/p>\n

“And, honestly, that’s probably why he doesn’t consider property damage to be that big of a deal because, not only does he have that, but he also has what some people would describe [as] an impossibly good stock portfolio,” Rosas said.<\/p>\n

Goldman\u2019s office did not respond to Fox News Digitals\u2019 request for comment.<\/p>\n

The Townhall writer also wrote an entire book<\/a> on the 2020 George Floyd riots titled “Fiery but Mostly Peaceful: The 2020 Riots and the Gaslighting of America.”<\/p>\n

Users online dogpiled Goldman after his attack on Rosas, with State Freedom Caucus Network communications director Greg Price writing, “Look at the disrespect Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) shows to [Rosas] as a witness, somebody who was on the ground at violent protests from Charlottesville to Kenosha, and wouldn’t even let him respond.”<\/p>\n

“What an absolute punk,” Price said, sharing a video of the attack.<\/p>\n

“He messed with the wrong guy,” Houck wrote.<\/p>\n

Other users online blasted Goldman for the attack, with Townhall video journalist Kevin McMahon quipping if “there was ever a time to blindly trust the FBI Director as a credible source, it\u2019s certainly not right now.”<\/p>\n

Goldman appears to have an aversion to allowing committee testifiers to respond to his assertions.<\/p>\n

“We’re not insulting you. Your experiences are devastating, but the problem is, is that this is a charade to cover up for an abuse of power. [Republicans] are going around 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 [into District Attorney Alvin Bragg],” Goldman said.<\/p>\n

“Can I respond to you, please?” Brame asked as Goldman attempted to move on.<\/p>\n

Last month, Goldman was shouted down by the mother of a New York City murder victim during a House Judiciary Committee field hearing, who warned the lawmaker not to “insult” her “intelligence.”<\/span> (Anna Moneymaker\/Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n

“Not right now, because I only have 20 seconds, I’m sorry. But I, I do\u2013” Goldman said.<\/p>\n

Brame argued that Bragg’s office has only served to escalate the city’s crime problem, showing no “measurable results” in lowering the city’s violent crime rate.<\/p>\n
