Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press” that the argument that former President Donald Trump did not break laws and was only expressing his First Amendment rights in the days after the 2020 election is a “deranged argument.”

Discussing the January 6 indictment, Raskin said, “A technical violation of the Constitution is a violation of the Constitution.

Our constitution is designed to stop people from trying to overthrow elections and trying to overthrow the government, but in any event, there’s a whole apparatus of criminal law which is in place to enforce this constitutional principle.”
