Dem Rep. Raskin: GOP a Cult of ‘One-Man Crimewave’ Trump
Breitbart ^ | 23 Mar 2023 | PAM KEY

Posted on 03/25/2023 4:51:05 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that the Republican Party had “turned into a messianic cult of personality around” former President Donald Trump.

When asked about House Republicans requesting Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg testify, Raskin said, “Let’s start with this, we actually have jurisdictional authority over the Department of Justice and the House Judiciary Committee. But it’s very well-established that even there, with the DOJ, where there is real jurisdictional oversight responsibility, that we cannot intervene in an ongoing case. Then you take it from the federal level to the state and local level, where we have no jurisdictional power over the investigator and prosecutorial authorities, and this is unheard of and outrageous. It’s clearly an attempt to elevate Donald Trump completely above the law, completely above the Constitution. And that’s what’s so scary about this.”

He continued, “That is what is so scary about this. The GOP has turned into a messianic cult of personality around one guy who has proven himself to be a one-man crimewave, and they have all wrapped themselves in their careers, their destinies around Donald Trump.”

Raskin added, “The emperor has no clothes at any level. During the impeachment trial, the rhetoric of all the Republicans was, ‘Well, if there is a real problem, you don’t need to impeach and convict him. Just prosecute him when he leaves office.’ That’s fine. Now all the prosecutors are saying that there are these criminal offenses we want to investigate and they’re saying, ‘How dare you prosecute a former president. Someone that’s put himself forward to run for president again.’ They will devise any argument to try to guarantee the total immunity and impunity of one Donald Trump.”

Thick headed leftist wingnut voters are too dense to realize it's not about the Don,
it's his policies that lifted the USA from a rapidly sinking ship.

Now bumblin' biden puppetmasters have turned the USA into the Titanic.

“one guy who has proven himself to be a one-man crimewave”

What crimes, commie? All I’ve seen are bunches of accusations that have proven to be untrue.

Raskin should see a proctologist.

Maybe the doctor can find Raskin’s pea-sized brain.

"That is what is so scary about this. The GOP has turned into a messianic cult of personality"

Projection. For all their accusations of a Trump cult, it is democrats who have truly demonstrated time and again a slavish, almost cult like devotion to the democratic party label.

Whatever they accuse trump of (whether true or false), they turn a hypocritical blind eye to Democrats with the same faults or worse.

and the crime is?

The libtards are something else. Go ahead and hitch your wagon to dementia joe.

He is doing a stellar job.

We will get to his China affiliation as well as Ukraine.

Raytheon will soon call off the war after their equipment has been battlefield tested. So sorry boys of Ukraine.

Raskin is a beacon of ethics and integrity...from the party currently lead by the Biden crime family.

Old adage is that fish rots from the head— dude looks like the Incredible Mr. Limpet with thinner lips and how about that head dress? Beyond Fellow Traveller, and all the way to Commie— just Like Bernie Sanders. Real greedy a@@holes both of them.

Funny thing is that by his own admission he KNEW of the scam his wife was engaged in while it was happening, and while he was giving that interview to Men’s Journal (He wasn’t charged because he wasn’t a participant).

Raskin is an embarrassment to the State of Maryland.
