Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has sunk to a new low, vowing political retribution against foreign leaders who dare to work with President Donald Trump in a stunning display of political pettiness and desperation. Rather than putting America first, Raskin is threatening allies and partners simply for engaging with the president and his administration, underscoring just how far the left is willing to go to cling to power and punish anyone who doesn’t fall in line with their agenda. During an episode on "Pod Save America,” Raskin threatened world leaders “facilitated authoritarianism in our country” by helping Trump advance his agenda,...

Rep. Jamie Raskin threatened foreign leaders who “facilitated authoritarianism in our country” by currying favor with President Trump on issues like deportation — saying that Democrats will not “look kindly” on his supporters when they “come back to power.” Referencing El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele specifically, Raskin (D-Md.), 62, suggested that Dems should keep score of foreign leaders who brownnose Trump, 78, during his second term. “Implicit in it should be the idea that if and when we come back to power — and we will — we are not going to look kindly upon people who … facilitated authoritarianism...

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) claimed Wednesday on CNN’s “News Central” ” that U.S. District Judge James Boasberg was a “great judicial hero” for finding probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for disobeying his order to halt deportations. Raskin said, “Judge Boasberg goes to great pains to restate the precedent going back to 1967, Walker vs. Birmingham, holding that you’ve got to comply with a court order, even if you know, they were in the wrong court, even if for some reason there’s a change. Look, Judge Boasberg, who was a President Bush appointee when he originally...

Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin is demanding the return of the Venezuelan gangsters to the United States. In an obvious of how little Democrats care about protecting America’s borders, Raskin said during a hearing that the hundreds of Venezuelan gangsters deported from the U.S. to a prison in El Salvador should be returned immediately. “I call on my colleagues to demand that the Trump Administration comply with all judicial orders while appealing whichever ones they want to appeal, and to demand the return of people unlawfully taken to El Salvador on that so-called plane full of ‘gang bangers,’” Raskin said at...

This week, Representative Jamie Raskin's remarks to a small crowd in Washington D.C. quickly devolved into chaos after hecklers began shouting at Raskin. (Starts at 22 sec mark, funniest at the end when he gives up.)

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Velshi” that President Donald Trump should be censured for calling Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) “Pocahontas” during his address to Congress. Raskin said, “It’s a fair criticism you know, we’ve stayed overwhelmingly unified through this. I think it is a valid critique that we did not have one single strategic plan going into the Donald Trump’s address on that night, whether it was boycott, walkout, sign waving, heckling interruption which is what Marjorie Taylor Greene repeatedly did to Joe Biden. Of course, Biden dealt with that like a man and just responded to...

If you want to seize private data from the people and conduct a political hatchet job, call Elon Musk and his night crew of juvenile computer hackers.

Ready to connect some dots? Get comfy, because this one’s a doozy. What we’re about to lay out is a picture of Deep State corruption at its finest starring none other than Congressman Jamie Raskin, one of the left’s most rabid anti-DOGE crusaders…and now, we may know why. Jamie is going all out to stop DOGE—but why? For the American people? Please. That’s a joke. So, what’s the real reason? Well, some newly unearthed info on Jamie Raskin’s wife is starting to bring the full picture into focus—and it just might explain why Congressman Raskin is so terrified of DOGE...

In yet another desperate attempt to keep Donald Trump and his allies under legal fire, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) is now threatening a nationwide class-action lawsuit against the Trump administration and Elon Musk over an alleged “data breach.” Raskin claims that the Trump White House mishandled government data and that Musk’s newly created U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) played a role in the so-called security failure. Appearing on “The Weekend” with Michael, Raskin floated the idea that Musk’s team of “Midnight fascist teenagers” somehow managed to access every American’s computer data. His so-called legal argument hinges on the Computer...

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) claimed Friday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that Elon Musk and President Donald Trump were conducting a “rapidly expanding and accelerating coup.” Raskin said, “If the courts move with dispatch, they might be able to prevent a lot of damage from being inflicted. But nobody should normalize what’s going on here. We’ve got the wealthiest man in the world who cannot be president because he was born in apartheid South Africa and then made his way to Canada and then to America because he can’t be president, except if he can buy himself a de facto presidency...

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) claimed Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that “nobody in the civil service can be fired because of political reasons.” Raskin said, “The attack on the FBI is extraordinary because for decades it really has been an apolitical operation. There are Republicans who work there, Independents, Democrats. They’ve served all administrations. and now, just because they were assigned to work on the most massive attack on the U.S. Capitol in American history and to prosecute cop assaulters they’re being fired or they’re being investigated. So there’s this mass purge taking place, obviously, coming from the top. What their...

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Tuesday on CNN’s “OutFront” that President Donald Trump’s pardoning the January 6 protesters was to create a “reserve army of political foot soldiers.” Raskin said, “The question is why? Pardons have generally been used when people are actually innocent or there was some procedural miscarriage of justice. Nobody’s claiming that these people were innocent. We’ve got them on tape, you know, hitting the police officers over the head with pipes and bats and Confederate battle flags and all of that’s been established. Most of them pled guilty. The others have been convicted. There was no...

resident Biden issued a string of 11th-hour pardons Monday to everyone from Dr. Anthony Fauci to members of the House panel that probed the Jan. 6 riots — a move blasted as “disgraceful’’ by President Trump. “Many are guilty of MAJOR CRIMES!” Trump fumed to NBC News’ Kristen Welker. Biden issued the pardons on his way out of the White House, just hours before Trump was due to be sworn in as the 47th commander-in-chief. Some of the beneficiaries of Biden’s wide-ranging pardons included the truth-challenged former chief medical adviser Fauci, embattled retired General Mark Milley and members of the...

"They found a cure for gluttony. Now do narcissism." — Peachy Keenan. Poor “Joe Biden” can’t help himself as the sun sets on his ignominious career. He ordered the American flag to fly at half-staff into January 20, inauguration day, to signal grief and distress at Donald Trump’s swearing-in — not realizing, apparently, that Mr. Trump’s first act in office will be to order the flag raised back up, signaling symbolically the end to America’s grief and distress under “Joe Biden.” You might wonder: what other sort of vicious mischief the Party of Chaos has in store in the final...

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said that “billionaire oligarchs like Elon Musk” are people who “love cheap foreign labor and say, let’s open the doors and bring everybody in.” And he thinks Democrats will be able to exploit that division within President-Elect Donald Trump’s coalition between people like him and those in the “nativist” base who disagree with Musk. Raskin stated, “I do think that we’re going to be able to exploit these growing contradictions within the MAGA coalition, especially since Donald Trump cares less and less. So, you’ve got the inflamed, nativist, anti-immigration...

The Constitution provides that an oath-breaking insurrectionist is ineligible to be president. This is the plain wording of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. “No person shall … hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath … to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” there is the bipartisan inquiry of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol....

resurfaced video shows Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) unveiling a plan for Congress to implement “civil war conditions” and disqualify former President Donald Trump if he wins the November presidential election. According to Legal Insurrection, Raskin’s comments were given in February during an appearance at the Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C., prior to the Supreme Court’s ruling that individual states could not prohibit Trump from appearing on the ballot by using the 14th Amendment. “The court is not going to save us,” Raskin said. “And so that means the only thing that really works is people in motion amending...

Alex Jones dissects, point-by-point, Jamie Ratskin's plans to instigate mass civil unrest when Trump wins the election to use as cover to declare martial law and prevent Trump from taking office.

During an interview on "Fox News Live," Sunday, House Oversight Chairman and member of the GOP, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., threw his support behind committee member, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The Democratic congresswoman from New York is seeking to take the ranking member from fellow Democrat Jamie Raskin.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said Democrats are in “the fight of our lives” following President-elect Trump’s victory in the 2024 election. “We’re not gonna change our values,” Raskin said on “All in with Chris Hayes” on Wednesday. “We’re not gonna abandon American constitutional democracy because we lost an election by … 1 and a half percent. We’re not gonna abandon the rule of law.” “We’re gonna be recruiting and mobilizing hundreds of thousands and millions of more people to get out there and be leaders in this fight,” he added. “What else can we do? This is not a game...
