Thanks lj...I tried but couldn’t find an actual quote apart from Tucker’s.

A poll shows reduced support for U.S. economic aid to Ukraine’s government, and Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin is justifying the military campaign against nuclear-armed Russia as a war in defense of woke values.
“Moscow right now is … a world center of antifeminist, antigay, anti-trans hatred, as well as the homeland of replacement theory for export,” Raskin (D-MD) said in October 25 statement that was issued after 30 progressives withdrew their plea for peace talks. His letter said:
Moscow right now is a hub of corrupt tyranny, censorship, authoritarian repression, police violence, propaganda, government lies and disinformation, and planning for war crimes … In supporting Ukraine, we are opposing these fascist views, and supporting the urgent principles of democratic pluralism. Ukraine is not perfect, of course, but its society is organized on the radically different principles of democracy and freedom …

What’s “replacement theory”??
Here’s more:
US Congressman Jamie Raskin made an extremely Russophobic statement. He believes that Russia should be completely destroyed, and - “at any cost.”
According to Raskin, he has specific reasons for such a statement. And they are rooted not in economic rivalry with the United States and the Western world as a whole, not in political confrontation or competition for spheres of influence in the regions of the planet. Even the events in Ukraine do not play a special role for Raskin.
As Raskin stated, Russia is “an Orthodox country professing traditional values.” The congressman called Moscow “the world center of anti-feminist, anti-gay, anti-transgender hatred.”
That is why it must be destroyed, no matter what price the United States pays for it. That is, if some Johns and Bills in Kansas or Texas are destined to die for the sake of destroying Russia, then so be it.
A little about Raskin - the 60-year-old congressman represents the US Democratic Party. His father was a staff assistant to John F. Kennedy, and Jamie himself chose a career as a journalist, then went into politics. He is known as a consistent supporter of the legalization of same-sex marriages, marijuana, and an opponent of the church. That is, this is a typical representative of the left-wing part of the American Democratic Party. Recently, it is this political wing that has prevailed in the party and has a huge impact on the politics of the White House.
Ruskin’s statement should not be taken as the revelation of a political freak. In fact, he expressed the thoughts of so many of today’s Western elites who are raised on “anti-values” and oppose traditional values.
The danger of Russia for them lies in the fact that all the forces of the world can consolidate around our country, unwilling to share the “anti-values” imposed by the West. Therefore, the confrontation between Russia and the West is really becoming more and more existential.
