A top Democrat in the House of Representatives said in a Monday interview that saving 'democracy' was critical to fighting climate change, claiming 'alt-right' groups are distracting from the necessary work of saving the planet.
'We’ve got to save the democracy in order to save the climate and save our species,' he said during a joint sit-down with Reuters, NPR and The Guardian.
'We’re never going to be able to successfully deal with climate change if we’re spending all our time fighting the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers and Ku Klux Klan, and the Aryan nations and all of Steve Bannon’s alt-right nonsense.'
Raskin, whose national profile shot up with Donald Trump's second impeachment trial, also suggested the former president's 'self-coup' attempt will be a primary focus of the House Select Committee investigating January 6th's upcoming public hearings.
The Maryland Democrat is a member of the Democrat-led panel.
'This was a coup organized by the president against the vice president and against the Congress in order to overturn the 2020 presidential election,' Raskin told the outlets.
'We're going to tell the whole story of everything that happened. There was a violent insurrection and an attempted coup and we were saved by Mike Pence's refusal to go along with that plan.'
He said Trump 'was prepared to seize the presidency' on January 6 last year if rioters succeeded in taking over the Capitol and stopping a Joint Session of Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's electoral victory.

Fight climate change , LOL what a moron
Jeez. Do what I demand and live in a cave or we all die!!!!!
Except me and my leftist politicians and their kids, donors and domestic animals, of course, we still get to fly private.
These people are seriously bonkers.
When ‘Rats say “democracy” it’s code for Communism.
“Save our Democracy” means “fundamentally transform to Communism” trough a few final votes to install the Commie Elite.
Raskin is hysterical, and I don’t mean “funny”
Strange, how there’s no mention of having to fight blm or Antifa or any of the Islamist and black militant groups.
Raskin can keep his friggin’ ‘democracy’. I know where he can store it.
It’s increasingly clear that the reason they are so strident is because the actual coup happened in November and they are scared stiff that the evidence is going to be presented...
Save our “democracy” by allowing electing rigging with impunity. Uh, ok kook.
Perhaps I'm behind in my Orange Man Bad sins of the day, but a coup against Pence is a new one for me.
Communists are much better at solving imagined problems than real ones. Did he give any proof of the Earth Warming?

We’ve got to save the democracy in order to save the climate and save our species,’
So he’s against abortion on demand!!! Wow!! Saving the species for sure when you don’t murder babies!
Someone should tell him that.
How long until he calls for the arbitrary imprisonment of climate change deniers?
Nobody cares what Shemp Raskin thinks or says
Oh noes!!!! Whatever shall our species do?
I know!! Toss money at it and elect all democrats! Then we’re saved!
Whew!
Did the Dems change the definition of democracy like they did for vaccine ? LOL
