The son of Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin has died, the congressman’s office announced Thursday.
Thomas Bloom Raskin, 25, was a graduate of Amherst College and a second-year student at Harvard Law School.
The news release does not list a cause of death.
“Tommy was pure magic. His brilliance and compassion knew no bounds. He passionately loved his family, friends, and animals, and was devoted to the cause of the global poor,” Raskin and his wife, Sarah Bloom Raskin, said in a statement. “We are devastated and demolished to be without him.”
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his sisters, Hannah and Tabitha, grandparents, Arlene Bloom and Lynn Raskin, and dozens of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends, the statement said.
“The family is grateful for the outpouring of support and love from neighbors, constituents, and friends but asks everyone to observe strict COVID-19 protocols during this time of grief,” the statement said.
Funeral and memorial service arrangements will be released at a later time.
Raskin, a constitutional law professor, has represented Maryland’s 8th Congressional District, which includes parts of Montgomery, Frederick and Carroll counties since 2016, most recently winning reelection in November.
Raskin rose to national prominence earlier this year for his high-profile role during President Donald Trump’s impeachment.
“My Mom told me that if you can’t say anything good, then say nothing at all..”
Nothing at all.
A filthy Rat + Harvard Law School doesn’t budge my “give-a-damn” meter even 0.0000000001 inches.
True, that!
Regards,
This really takes the cake for "puffery," I've got to say:
“Tommy was pure magic. His brilliance and compassion knew no bounds. He passionately loved his family, friends, and animals, and was devoted to the cause of the global poor,”
My reaction is a combination of, "Really? That seems improbable," and "What does that even mean?"
If my 24-year-old son died, and I said, "Tom was turning out pretty well, actually. He had beautiful hair. He was an excellent student, when he wanted to be, and he was a diligent and honest employee. He made everyone laugh," would people think I didn't love him?
A Harvard lawyer in the making brought down before his time.
America’s masses lose a chance to be ruled by an elite.
In my neck of the woods if a COD isn’t given, and the deceased is a young adult, it’s usually due to an overdose.
These people have declared war on us and have done everything in their power to destroy our lives, our business, our families. I hope a horrible moment like this would help them get perspective on what is important and good in this world....but it wont.
if you think it is bad now, wait for your first year under a Harris Administration.
Or a shady underground-type life
Beat me to it drugs or suicide maybe both
Amen
I assumed suicide myself.
It is.
That was what I was trying to say... mumble mumble
Here is where we as conservatives and Christians have compassion for the worst people imaginable, we would never get that treatment from them but we can sleep at night
Amherst College and Harvard Law School? The country is better off without this son of a turd.
Despite such tragedy, Thomas Bloom Raskin will still be able to vote for Demonicrat politicians.
Perhaps he wasn't doing very well in law school, and that was his out. All speculation of course on my part.
No wife, a girlfriend?
Amherst and Harvard Law? I’d say the next generation has been spared the input of another America-hating, entitled leftist. Too bad for the family, good for America.
