The Democratic lawmaker who led the filing of the latest article of impeachment against President Trump spoke Sunday about the level of danger lawmakers faced from rioters during the Jan. 6 overtaking of the U.S. Capitol.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) told Jake Tapper, host of CNN's "State of the Union," that rioters wanted to murder both Vice President Pence and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calfi.), adding that lawmakers remember hearing chants of "Hang Mike Pence" from the invading rioters.

"You don't need a six-month investigation to figure out what happened," Raskin said of the Jan. 6 violence, adding, "There was an assassination party hunting for Nancy Pelosi."

"They built a gallows outside of the Capitol of the United States," Raskin said. "This was an attack on our country."

No doubt led by secret agent Ashli Babbit right? Odd thing is, we were watching the objections and nanzi vanished before there was any alarm raised or ruckus started in the gallery. Almost as if she knew the timetable(or one of her henchmen signaled her) and skeedaddled at the right moment. But that could just be us.

LOL...that rickety thing with a noose big enough for a squirrel and low enough for a squirrel was just a prop, like that bloody Trump head that no-account “comedienne” held.

Their insane hysteria is too funny. Unfortunately, they set the narrative and all the lofos believe the crap in this article.

Raskin is a real filthy piece of work.

Wikipedia:

Raskin was born in Washington, D.C. on December 13, 1962 to a Jewish family. He is the son of progressive activist Marcus Raskin—a former staff aide to President John F. Kennedy on the National Security Council and co-founder of the Institute for Policy Studies—and Barbara (née Bellman) Raskin, a journalist and novelist. … He served as general counsel for Jesse Jackson's National Rainbow Coalition from 1989 to 1990.
