A alarming video surfaced Monday appearing to show Rep. Jamie Raskin declaring that Congress will have to disqualify former President Donald Trump on January 6, 2025 if he wins the November election, and predicting a civil war with "Rampaging Trump mobs" could erupt as a result.
Raskin made the disturbing comments during a discussion about voter rights with law professor Richard L. Hasen and civil rights lawyer Sherrilyn Iffil at the Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington D.C. on February 17, 2024.
Raskin appeared suspiciously confident that Democrats would hold solid majorities in both Houses of Congress next year enabling them to pass legislation disqualifying Trump.
Raskin predicted that civil disorder would ensue after Trump was denied the presidency.
"Raskin is 1) conceding the election 2) fomenting civil war 3) threatening to defy the will of voters conceded in #1 4) assuming a congress willing to pass a measure" Roy posted on X. "Even if voters unquestionably elect Donald Trump as President, no matter the margin, and even if the election is universally accepted as free and fair, top Democrats are calling on Congress to block certification of the results, and prep for civil war," wrote former Rep. Lee Zelden.
"I think the office of Jamie Raskin has to comment on the veracity of a video that is circulating, said independent journalist Matt Taibbi."If it's in any way altered he needs to make a strong statement to that effect.
"It's hard to believe that Jamie Raskin would advocate for some kind of Congressional insurrection against our democratic Republic, but here he is saying it on video.
