Nobody's Buyin' It: Jamie Raskin Claims He Serves All Americans…Doesn't Care About Party Affiliation

Posted • December 12, 2024: As Americans, we've become accustomed to politicians lying right to our faces, no matter how large or small the issue. Recent failed vice presidential candidate Tim Walz practically told a new one every single day about his own personal history. The only truly surprising thing about their lies is how bad they are at it. You would think that people who lie for a living would be a bit more accomplished, but no. Most politicians are about as good at their prevarications as Jon Lovitz's famous SNL character from the '80s, Tommy Flanagan. But as Donald Trump's second term in office approaches, some of the lies are getting pretty funny. Yesterday, Trump impeachment architect and J6 Committee member Rep. Jamie Raskin took to the floor of the House to hilariously claim that he represents ALL Americans, regardless of political party.

Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin: “Elected officials may enter office with an R, D or I next to our names, but once we swear an oath, we serve everyone, regardless of party, and we protect the rights of all under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Our party is just a "part," and we serve all the people.” -- If Raskin was using his time on the floor to unofficially announce his new career as a stand-up comedian, this was a pretty good debut. But as one of the most partisan members of the House who has made a career of demonizing everyone across the aisle, elected official or average American, it was a monumental fail. This is the same Jamie Raskin, as a reminder, who called everyone in the MAGA movement a fascist in the weeks leading up to the 2024 election. Needless to say, no one was buying what Raskin was selling. The worst cringe on social media today. This asshole called for civil war not so long ago. (…)
