Rep. Raskin Recounts His Experiences During The Capitol Riot At Senate Impeachment Trial | NBC News
Trump said fake new everything fake now it real grab him by the ball karma is real
This man is a pillar of strength and brings a face to the damage this emotionally stunted, insecure and Un-American dictator wanna-be unleashed on our judicial system. A system put in place by the convictions of imperfect forefathers trying to create a more perfect union. Trump appealed to the lowest primal bigotry and anger in his followers and some allowed it to blow their minds and over take their judgement. He wasn’t some general organizing soliders to go to battle for a cause, he was a bully spouting off and sitting back watching it all happen being surrounded by secret service professionals in the sanctity of the Whitehouse. I feel bad for those Americans who had to protect him, despite their politics.
Imagine the tables being turned and Biden or any leader standing out front of maralago with a mega phone saying, go get him……that person would undoubtedly be cuffed and in jail within minutes. But what happened to Trump? The people who he whipped up and duped are being hunted down by law enforcement while he had a special helicopter and private jet ride down to Florida. He wasn’t eating bologna sandwiches and he was most likey doing his business in a gold plated bowl while they were in a cell. Didn’t see any of their names in his pardon list. That list was a list of people who could benefit him and his family in the future. Sad. I am a republican and this man doesn’t represent me.
Just another emotional act by snowflake democrat hiding behind fake tears and lies. Where were they all summer when cities were burning, cops being attacked, and citizens attacked by the democrat’s antifa?
none of this crap would ever be allowed in a real court of law
edited video, as what? a pilot to a new made for tv movie??????
What on earth is wrong with you lunatics?
In 2016, these same Democrats claimed the election was rigged…Trump
cheated, he is not our elected President. They incited violence with
words far worse. To the point that there was 4 years of non stop
violence. Businesses were burned down, mass shooting done by DEMOCRAT
supporters, etc… If Trump is held accountable for his words, that in
no way called for violence, buts call for a PEACEFUL Protest then the
Democrat’s should then be arrested for inciting violence in a political
attempt to overthrow The President of the United States. Moreover, the
use of a non registered organization such as Antifa and BLM trained to
overthrow the government and given aid to create violence with the
purpose to overthrow being safe guarding and providing funding to the
members of these organizations is AGAINST THE LAW. Big tech, social
media and mainstream media supporting these groups by proving them a
safe-heaven and advertising for recruitment is also guilty breaking
these same laws. (18 US code subsection 2381, 2383, 2384, 2385, 2386,
and 2389) So why haven’t the Democrats be arrested? Because, they never
completely released power over the CIA and FBI to the Elected President
Trump. Bar’s father was involved the Epstein ring of pedophiles. But
what they want us to believe is that we cannot charge them…WRONG! We
the people of this nation can charge them and hold open court against
them if enough of us demand it. This is why they removed Trump from
media outlets because they knew his next call will be to the CITIZENS to
sign a petition for their arrest. WAKE UP
you cant hide all the dems has done and said too. the internet remember everything photos videos and text.
It’s still Congress that should be tried for high crimes and misdemeanors. Check out the state of the economy, while luxury condos go up, 610,000 homeless and stimulus needed everywhere. How many congress made millions off cheap foreign labor? jmho.
UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
REPENT!
THE CONGESSIONAL LAUNDRY BILL MUST BE OUTRAGEOUS. ALL THE DEMOCRAT/COMMUNIST INSURGENCY PARTY PISSD THEIR CROTCHLESS PANTIES AND STAINED THEIR PANTS.
RASKIN OR RAS-PUTIN, ??? SHOULD GO BACK IN URSS AND PROMOTE THERE THE COMMUNISM NOT IN AMERICA.
〈
This is a complete joke just like Congress! 🇺🇸🇬🇧
FYI … 🇺🇸🇬🇧 The USA basically invented the Computer/Chips/ Systems ( IBM Microsoft Intel Apple) yet we’re going to buy voting machines from a Canadian company? That were manufactured and coded in Venezuela? For a U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION??? WHO Made That Decision??? AND then we’re going to route votes out of the U.S. and return votes from Spain? Germany? China? Russia?
IDENTIFY the INDIVIDUALS Responsible for this!!!
We put a man on the Moon 50 plus years ago (1969) yet we have trouble counting votes ACCURATELY in the year 2020? Who’s Responsible?
person, man, woman, camera, tv, INSURRECTION
Trump is for the People. Count the legit votes.
What a fantastic politician. Superbly eloquent, fantastically passionate. A true Harvard man, a true Harvard lawyer, a true Harvard American.
corrupt democrats and republicans and their puppetmasters set up the fake insurrection, not Trump supporters. Covid too. Just watch. NBC news is corrupt too, Ranskin, many others. Just watch.
My description of the presentation so far, not factual ….
The whole birch cytopathologically slip because ketchup cytochemically help through a disgusting rule. foregoing, pink timer
An

I dream of a constitutional law that enforces to speak truth in the freedom of speech, not lies and defamation.
What a MOVING speech, now MOVE to china
The President is not “our” Commander in Chief. He is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. That kind of emotionally manipulative lie is disgusting.
The capitol hill thugs should have peacefully protested like the BLM protesters that peacefully set fire to every major metropolis in America in solidarity. I agree with accusing Trump of literally what the mayor of Seattle did with the autonomous zone that resulted in American deaths from peaceful disagreements, between traitors to our nation.
Terrible.
Oh my god not this cry baby
Let me get this straight your kid died you buried him on Tuesday and was back at work on Wednesday…. cold blooded
This guy owes money to the bookie and he’s getting paid to do this
Your kid just died and …. I can’t , I got to go this is a travesty
Isn’t there a tunnel with a bomb shelter underneath that they all went to wearing gas masks and all
Drama queen
What a load of crap they have no authority to try a private citizen. They need to impeach every democrat who told blm/Antifa to riot or made excuses for them while they attacked federal buildings. Democrats are hypocrits.
Why aren’t they doing their jobs? The country has been on lockdown for over a year, businesses are closing left and right and people need help. And once again the Government has decided to be MIA. Wasting time and money on an impeachment that hasn’t a chance. Pure theatre, on your dime. Feigned concern by wealthy representatives who haven’t missed a check yet. They are absolutely worthless, the whole lot of them.
These Senators are in shock. They are human. The normalcy is WE watched foriegn countries coups. We supposed to be moving forward. These despicable people need to be accountable for their actions.
Democracy died when Biden took over. These crooks can’t talk of democracy
A waste of time and tax payor money. Pres. Trump is gone and a private citizen now . This is a theatrical Circus show by the Democrats who are so fixated on all things Trump they live and breath him, the media thrives on him like oxygen to survive it is actually amusing to observe . Are they that scared of him ?You can smell the fear on them . Do they have some kind of guilty feeling ? Perhaps they are trying to conceal something to justify this circus . Question ” If he were that bad of a President ” as democrats claim .Then why fear him running in 2024 ? And blocking him from doing so ? Think about it . Now Everyone’s question is if they knew there was so many people gathered at the rally hundreds of thousands that day , why did not Pelosi and Congress, the mayor of DC , or whoever was in charge bring in the national guard a day or two before ? Ask yourself this .
The protesters were let into the capital building too easily . A building of that importance scantly protected, why ? Just think about it . However I blame Trump for what happened “in a way “, but not directly. Not that he ordered the attack ,by no means no . As he said on TV and video “Peacefully go to the capital ” ( the video was ” edited ” by Rep. Raskin and the democrats. The Dems left that part out purposely to promote their agenda….disgusting use of media cropping /editing to falsify and manipulate ). Nevertheless again I blame in a way Trumps “ego and bigmouth” for certain things . Pres .Trump and his supporters fell into the carefully planed democrat trap . A what a trap it was Pelosi style a Fact ” .
Ego is a bad hubris and your enemies pick up on any weakness to use it against you and they did use this to the dems advantage . For me Pres . Trump was Great President, in my opinion that is , one of the best. You can not deny he did many great things pre covid 2016-2019 this is fact ! Best Economy in 40 years , job creation , low unemployment , high GDP , stock market highs , border protection , tariffs on China ,peace treaties with Arab countries and Israel , peace with North Korea, end of unfair Nafta deal , USA is now oil /energy self sufficient for first time, that is until Biden destroys this , operation warp speed covid vaccines . Some may hate him, but he did these great things and they are a fact and much more .But again his ego led him to fall. Back to the capital insurrection….. as you know there were some who “were not Trump supporters “at the rally or within the capital building. They were paid Antifa or BLM ( as one man confessed on CNN tv ) or even ” paid actors ” like the horned Viking Jake Angeli i believe that is his name .
What happened “was wrong ” no doubt about it but life must go on .Just as it did After BLM and Antifa burned and looted stores and started fires , occupied government buildings, and police stations in Chicago , Portland , New York , etc , attack on secret servicemen and failed antifa blm assault on Trump and Whitehouse , we have short memories do you remember the Summer 2020 ?
Now however Lets focus on the Covid 19 health crises , the Stimulus checks to help ordinary citizens , the poor and hungry , getting the economy restarted. Help business back on their feet .That is what the Congress (swamp) must focus on but they are procrastinating . Do not worry or be concerned about Trump or Pelosi, or Biden, or Schumer or Finestein ,Maxine Waters , Mitch McConnell yes even Bernie 3 homes worth millions and so on . They have millions , and properties galore 4 -5 homes each, over sees off shore investments as well as a wide selection of delicious gourmet ice cream, wine, caviar and cake . Worry about yourselves and push those senile old idiots, and left and right wackados to take care of important issues and ” move the F on ” .
Emotional MANIPULATION 101…His PERSONAL experience whether TRUE or FALSE has ZERO to do with the FACTS…His personal experience neither PROVES nor DISPROVE the ALLEGATIONS levied at President Trump…#GiveMeJESUS
Is he Jewish, or is his head balding.
What a moving speech of what he and his family went through from loosing a loved one and then to go through more heartache. God bless them all.✝️🕊️🙏😃❤️
Nothing can stop what is coming
Pathetic ! They are all a bunch of actors. What does the suicide of his son have to do with the riot on January 6th. Pathetic attempt to work on peoples’ emotions.
Is Trump to blame for his son’s suicide. GMAB!
Emotional blackmail!!! Why can’t people see thaaaaaat!!!!!
The mob Republican’s the true untouchables.
In it for themselves, not for the American people! – get rib of them, vote them out!!
This is very good information…

And the Grammy goes to……. Well they give them to anyone lol
So Donald Trump sent these nutty people subliminal messages that these nut cases deciphered? That is what you nut job lefties are saying.
How’s that for a strong and ACCURATE argument. While you’re at it, you dumbed-down lefty, show me the clip or the memo where Donald trump told these people to come to DC and raid government buildings. I’d love to see it. Anything short of that, you lefties are doing what you do best which is living in fantasyland and putting words in people’s mouths.
Am I the only one who noticed or feels like his ‘choking up’ was intentional? I get that he was trying to win sympathy and I want to feel sad for him but it’s hard when his vibes don’t seem to be genuine. And I’m normally pretty empathic so I feel bad that I don’t feel bad.. idk but I feel a disconnect, I don’t know why..

Someone should donate the Bald spot for his hair
Wimpy POG’s should not be in the government. Military service should be a prerequisite for any and all positions of public service!
The Democrats are saying that it was obvious that Trump was inciting an insurrection.
If it was so obvious, why did everyone in the CIA, FBI, and military do nothing?
Raskin is so full of manure that the whites of his eyes have turned brown!
Trump has done this before! Google it!

August 3, 2019; 10:39–10:45 a.m. (MDT UTC−06:00) 23 slaughtered for Trump he knew what he was doing on Jan 6! He’s gotten away with it before! For my Latino eyese a sad reality but perfect example on how we minorites are so easily forgotten lol Wtf wake up!
Nothing but BS, just like the ones before him and the ones that will follow. This party is built on lies.
😂🍿😂🍿This is the worst acting and worst script I have ever seen.
HYPOCRITES..causing dis-unity. The world is laughing at us😆🤣
The capital police let them in and waved people to come in!
Can’t trust democrats anymore then you can trust Islam 🖕🏼
Democrats can’t be trusted
Mr. Raskin has no plausible case and he knows it. This is all built on an emotional appeal, not on factual evidence.
This will fall flat on its face, leading to dismissal of all charges, as it should. A weak and pathetic case against
this president. Frankly Sir, nobody is concerned with your feelings regarding this expression of political unrest.
This is simply a case of controversy elevated to action. The gravity behind this situation brings no surprises.
did he abort tjem
Lip Service from Hypocritical
Parasitic Poluticians.
Smoke and mirrors Political Pony show.
At this point, any far-right extremist sympathizer in congress is openly admitting to being a traitor against our country
you idiots believe this crap!
Are you trying to say he’s toldly dumb and can’t be fault this is crap
all irrelevant and is a story for your emotions. how is this hearsay allowed ?
Its not a democracy… its a representational republic. The fact that elected officials and the media feel threatened by half the country should tell you something about those elected officials and the media.
A THOUGHT TO PASS ON
GOP wants to exonerate Trump but here is what they have not considered.
Trump aimed his minions at the US Capitol and they would have killed everyone in there including the GOP. membership Look what he sis to Pence!
“Death is the only cure for everything inside that building” Trump supporter storming the US Capitol.
Trump would have taken them away from their spouses, their children, their parent, friends, and everyone they love. And they want to let the man that almost murder them get off scot-free? And they call democrats stupid?
His statement was very sad but strong He’s right 💯
Rep. Raskin wake up and . Trump is not guilty of the riot, but you won’t listen what really happened. You still insist that Trump is guilty
Even if he is not guilty. I am sorry you and your were terrified by the break in and the only Trump Supporters in the Capitol were invited in by the
Capitol Police but a month after it happened you still insist that he is guilty. The other thing you Democrats are lying about is that there was
No election fraud but an article in Time Magazine came out and admitted it is true and even says who did it. The Democrat Party can never be
trusted again.
Great work republicans electing Trump he manage to destroy your party
Your voters are falling apart
Nice job
Judge jury and executioners… the farce of the century by the fake news…
#Leave Donald alone already wtf is wrong with you
‘they thought they were going to die’ if there isn’t a unanimous vote to impeach Trump, and the impact on Raskin’s daughter not wanting to visit an American monument, all because of Trump’s perverted desire for power…
Trump won’t be found guilty because there is too many white supremist on the republican side of the senate. They will protect the furor no matter the damning evidence against Trump. The republican party has easily become the Trump party because they are very scared of him. They have no back bone. Those people are pure cowards like Trump was in avoiding military service. Russian blood runs through those bodies. The two-bit dictator will come out clean. It’s the white supremacy America now.
democrats( and their rinos)= you are the devil and the devil is bad the W’s.
No mention of ANTIFA or BLM, why?
Democracy ; a jewel in the dark and pressure , we are trying to make a transparent gem; government for the people by the ,of the people.
Article one sec 8 and all other powers.
Impeachment ; if the president becomes a tyrant. It is where we are.
The branch of government has the Power to nip this in bud. Remove, disqualify , prevent the damage to our city on the hill.
We are an evolving species , not de evolution .
If trump is not guilty , let him appear before the court_ nothing to loose ????????
Did any else hear this guy crack a joke right after talking about his son’s death?? Evil heartless person. Don’t believe his fake sympathy speech.
Give this guy some pampers and a bottle
The Republicans shouldn’t worry about getting elected again their job means nothing ). They should focus on impeaching the monster Trump period cause Trump will do this again and again and the nation will never heal! History will reward the Republicans more than they will reward the Democrats if they find Trump guilty..if the Republicans don’t vote him out let me tell u history will not be good to them at all!!!
Americans let’s not fool ourselves, this was in fact an insurrection and a failed coup. I believe the reason it failed is becuase he had no support from the military. This is the reason he took so long, in responding as president. Make no mistake he will try this again when he is acquitted in the current impeachment proceedings.
Democrats basically poured gasoline and set themselves on fire with their performance today 🙈 😬 . Even Trump’s awful lawyers can F this up.
Thank you sir . Your testimony was so moving . I cried . I’m not the type to cry from being in law enforcement for 26 years. Thank you for showing the facts , and thank you for presenting this case in a lawful but also in a commen sense clear case where most people can understand this . I thank you and all the people from the capital that showed so much honor and respect for the capital police . Sadly in today s world law enforcement is not respected the way it should be . Thank you sir for standing up for our country. Please be your daughters hero and make the capital safe again . Tabitha it’s going to be ok because your dad is a HERO . GOD BLESS YOU

I have not seen any other former president work this hard to appear like he doesn’t care when he is struggling to maintain relevance.
jamie raskin – the face of evil
Jamie Raskin lost his ONLY son of 25 to suicide on December 30-31 2020, while he supported the fake impeachment against Trump and the fraudulent election, now it is time for him to go! No repentance on his part – just blatant falsehood!
The LORD GOD is on The Throne!
Evil is like a fire that burns from within – hence cancer for many democrats!
If the GOP was clean we would have seen a much faster great result!
