More boorish behavior from a democrat

Cab driver Abraham Habteab says around 2 p.m., he picked up a well-dressed passenger at Union Station who wanted to ride to a hotel in Southwest D.C.

"He wanted me to drop him off and put his luggage inside the hotel and he wanted me to take him to a different location," said Habteab.

He did not realize his passenger was Congressman Jerrold Nadler of New York until other cab drivers told him. It was just a typical cab ride according to Habteab.

But then he says Congressman Nadler told him, “Don’t turn the meter off. He wanted me to take him back to Capitol Hill.”

According to the D.C. Taxicab Commission, the law says when a passenger gets to their destination, in this case which was the hotel, the entire fare is paid including waiting time.

The law also says if the passenger asks the driver to wait or take him to another destination, that is a new trip and the meter starts again.

The congressman was supposed to pay $8.

"He said I will not pay you if you don't take me running the same meter which we came with,” said Habteab.

Habteab says he called police after Congressman Nadler would not pay.
