Texas teenager goes toe to toe with Jamie Raskin in congressional hearing
X ^ | 05/13/2026 | Andrew Kolvet

Rep. Jamie Raskin spent over 2 minutes trying grill 16-year-old Texas high school student Marco Hunter-Lopez at today’s hearing on political Islam and Sharia Law.

What a clown.

Marco, who EXPOSED his school allowing "Why Islam" to hand out Qurans, hijabs, and Sharia pamphlets during lunch while censoring conservative clubs, simply pointed out America's Christian heritage and the faith of the Declaration's signers.

Raskin interrupted him repeatedly, demanded to know if he believes America is a theocracy, and lectured him on Jefferson's "wall of separation."

This is what happens when a 16-year-old patriot stands up for truth in Congress.

Marco stood his ground quite well against a man 47 years his senior. Good work, Marco.

Indeed, this young gentleman stood his ground quite well as Raskin beclowned himself. His friends are blessed to have him as an influence.

Grown-ass lawyer berates and over-talks high school boy.

What a small little man that Ratskin is.

Jamie Raskin is a pompous a$$. He was very rude to the 16 year old.

Ratskin could have been so easily dismantled by someone with a little more experience. I hope this kid keeps learning and keeps practicing debate — he’s already got will and passion.

Why are atheists so threatened by the mention of God?

I know that there is vigorous competition, but I believe Raskin is the biggest knucklehead in Congress.

It’s just Jamie‘s nature to be mean, condescending, and demeaning. Wow, Jamie jumped on a 16-year-old who was very poised, knowledgeable, and articulate. Did that make you a big man Jamie?

Raskin is allegedly Jewish, but good question

It’s because they don’t want accountability for their actions and lifestyle choices. Psalms 14:1 and 53:1 say it best: only fools say in their hearts there is no God.

Part of the answer can be found in Romans chapter 1 beginning with verse 18.

Raskin’s problems have nothing to do with his ancestry. They are all caused by him being a clueless socialist.

Most “Jewish” people are hardcore atheists.
