Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Monday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that former President Donald Trump was already “constitutionally disqualified from holding office, having participated in insurrection.”

Raskin said, “The historians and political scientists we have spoken to have been very clear about this. The surest sign of a successful coup coming is a recently failed coup where the coup plotters and insurrectionists got to diagram the weaknesses in the existing structure. And so if there’s impunity, if they think they can operate with impunity and under the cover of darkness, then they are undoubtedly going to come back again. So I think that everything we know about what’s taken place around the world with coups and what’s taken place historically tells us that there must be consequences, and not just for the hundreds of foot soldiers who are already facing the music and many of whom have already been convicted or pled guilty, but also for people all the way at the top, the masterminds and the ringleaders.”

I hate these people with a white hot passion. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

[Secret Agent Man]

How did he participate? When he tweeted to not break the law and be respectful of law enforcement?

[SoConPubbie]

They are clearly TELEGRAPHING for all to see who they FEAR!

[ClearCase_guy]

I guess a legislative committee just convicted Trump of a felony. Huh. Super easy. Barely an inconvenience.

[Dr. Ursus]

Raskin is a proud descendant of Bolshevik scum from the Pale of the Settlement!

Except the 45th President isn’t Constitutionally disqualified.

The problem with the 14th Amendment “Hail Mary,” is its a “Hail Mary.”

They rarely work.

if ratskin said it

must be true

[blackdog]

Everything these agents of the state bureaucrats say and do fails to understand that they have about a 19% approval among the public. At least 65% of those public persons hate the current dystopian congress. Every negative comment aimed at Trump or any other outsider that shakes up the Beltway is a net powerful endorsement.

The Beltway exists in its own echo chamber.

[joshua c]

the point is to make him fight this while campaigning

hey maybe they can use this as an excuse to spy on him again

yay!

[joshua c]

an illegitimate committee

[hercuroc]

This guy is 31 flavors of crazy.

[Howie66]

My gut tells me that the little shitbird, Raskin, has never read our Constitution.

[Gay State Conservative]

OK,fair enough.Mission accomplished! So now we’ll never again see/hear his name mentioned by the Amazon Compost,MSLSD or by The Big Guy’s Department of Just Us!

[gundog]

Sounds like he’s projecting over the failed 2016 coup attempt being followed by the successful 2020 coup.

[Paladin2]

RasPutin is projecting.

[kenmcg]

Raskin, the commie piece of human debris should be in jail.

[realcleanguy]

George Washington participated in an insurrection.....Just sayin’

[faithhopecharity]

A damned liar or he’s swallowed the wrong kind of mushrooms

[Levy78]

I despise this asshole. That’s all I can say here

[Organic Panic]

How does one attempt an insurrection against one’s self?
