It’s hard to pick the most grating member of the January 6th committee. I think for pure hysterical unseriousness, you’d have to go with Adam Kinzinger. He’s so bad that even the other members rarely acknowledge his existence publicly. Of course, Liz Cheney is in the discussion, though she manages to be a bit more cunning in her dissolution of all the principles she claims to hold dear.
But as far as the Democrats on the committee go, the choice is easy: Jamie Raskin takes the cake.
Raskin obviously learned from Adam Schiff’s behavior during the facial and wasted effort of the Robert Mueller investigation. He’s spent the last year and a half promising bombshell after bombshell that he and his cohorts never deliver. All the while, he carries himself with a sense of unearned moral superiority that is made all the more ridiculous by his own past.
You see, Raskin objected to the certification of the 2016 election in an attempt to stop Donald Trump from assuming power. He’s never once apologized for or reframed his efforts. Instead, he’s acted as if they simply never happened, and certainly, the news media has shown zero interest in pressing him on the matter.
All the while, even some on the right have tried to assert that Raskin’s actions were different. You see, he didn’t “deny” the election, they say. He simply objected on procedural grounds with no actual thought of overturning the results.
That’s what makes a newly unearthed clip from 2003 brought forth by the RNC so damning. It’s not just about his actions, which he would later take in 2016, but it’s a window into his intent over a decade prior.
The Democrat Kangaroo Court Committee should be in JAIL !!! Ban Fake Courts in America > Use Real Ones !!
