Jamie Raskin Tells a Jan. 7th ‘Funny Story’: People Were Calling the Congress About Lost Property and Gave Their Personal Info to the Police

STEWART: “And we really appreciate you taking the time with us this evening. And is January 7th another milestone for democracy? None of us actually know civics, so — “
(Laughter)
RASKIN: “I will tell you one funny story about January 7th, because my kids always say I get really depressing when I talk about the 6th. I have one really funny story, which is the next day, I was down in Nancy Pelosi’s office and I was waiting in the little receptionist area, and the receptionist picks up the phone and people were calling in saying, ‘You know, I was in your office yesterday, do you guys have a lost and found? Because I think I forgot my phone there. I think I forgot my purse there.’ And so, she didn’t know what to do. I said, ‘Yeah, let’s get in touch with the Capitol police.’ So they came over and started writing everything down. ‘Yeah, just give us your name, your Social Security number, your address, and we will get you your property back.’”
