Raskin to Vance: ‘They tried to kill your predecessor’
The Hill ^ | 08/20/2024 | Sarah Fortinsky

Posted on 08/20/2024 6:28:32 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), the Republican vice presidential nominee, that GOP voters “tried to kill your predecessor,” during remarks at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago.

“Remember what the mob chanted as they stormed the Capitol and injured our officers? ‘Hang Mike Pence’,” Raskin said during his Monday night speech, referring to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

“Someone should have told Donald Trump that the President’s job under Article Two of the Constitution is to take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not that the Vice President is executed,” he added.

Raskin, who served on the Jan. 6 select committee investigating the Capitol attack, frequently draws on his background as a constitutional law professor in warning about the threat to democracy he says America faces if the former president is reelected.

Amazing, when his side really did try to actually kill PDJT, that a Democrat would bring up the topic.

Only people doing any killing on January 6th were democrats.

Only people doing any killing at the Trump rally were democrats.

Nice try Ratskin.

Not really. Accuse your accuser of your own bad conduct, thus insulating yourself from your own actions. A pure Alinsky brand of nastiness. That’s what the entire J6 Commission was doing, accusing their would be accusers.

Wait, someone shot at Mike Pence and just missed and hit his ear instead?

Wow, J6 was the pattern then for when someone actually, in reality, tried to kill Raskin’s party’s political opponent. But only after Raskin’s Party tried to jail him and charge him during an election.

Last time I checked it’s the left that’s perpetrating the violence......from a gunman shooting up a baseball practice attacking Rand Paul to President Trump being shot.

Raskin is one of the most odious congress critters that I can ever remember infesting Washington. And that is saying a lot.

“Someone should have told Donald Trump Joe Biden that the President’s job under Article Two of the Constitution is to take care that the laws are faithfully executed...”

Fixed it.

Thank you, Jamie, for acknowledging that Vance will be the next Vice President and be Pence’s successor.

It’s a leftist meme about this business of white Christian nationalism and all of that.

And they keep bringing up Charlottesville.

They latch onto these things like a dog with a bone, and they can push these memes in part because they have the compliant media on their side.

““Remember what the “FBI infiltrators” chanted as they stormed the Capitol and injured our officers? ‘Hang Mike Pence’,” “

Ratskin is one of the most EVIL, DISGUSTING, Demonrats.

Raskin was quoted as saying something about how on January 6th 2025, Congress could disallow electoral votes for Trump under the 14th Amendment ,,because Trump allegedly LED an insurrection.

The clear implication being that if Trump wins the 2024 election, Congress in their role of certifying the election on January 6th ,,could say that Trump was an insurrectionist thus Trump cannot be elected.

If this was an issue, he should never have been allowed to be on the ballot.

Obviously as usual, its the KKK and their agents doing whatever they want, because no one will stop them.

The Jan 6 operation was an ingenious plan put together by the Demonrat Communists to (try to) DESTROY Donald Trump FOREVER!

THEY FAILED!, but they caused a lot of damage! AND THEY ARE MILKING IT TO THIS DAY!

The ONLY way to right this ship is to elect Donald J. Trump for president, J.D. Vance for vice president, and elect a strong majority in BOTH houses of Congress.

The Jan 6 victims will be freed and exonerated. The Republic will be restored.

Raskin is one of the most loathsome humans to ever walk the face of the earth. That is not hyperbole. I feel like a need to take a shower whenever I see his face or hear is voice.
