Raskin: ‘Abraham Lincoln’s Party Has Become the Authoritarian Cult of Donald Trump’
Breitbart ^ | 09/09/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 09/09/2022 7:55:05 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Friday on MSNBC’s “All In” that Abraham Lincoln’s Republican Party has become the “authoritarian cult of Donald Trump.”

Raskin said, “Financial crime follows in Donald Trump’s wake. As you know, I’ve argued for a long time that Trump really should’ve been impeached the first time for his rampant violations of both the foreign and domestic emoluments clause as he was raking in millions of dollars from foreign governments and also taking money from domestic federal departments and agencies at the hotels and golf courses and so on. It has always been a scheme for self-enrichment for him. He converted the government into an instrument of capital gain for him and his family and his friends.”

Raskin is trying out for Schiff's or Nadler's place. They are all part of the same tribe.

Donald Trump isn’t mass arresting and charging his political opposition with made up crimes.

His next line was if you get the Vaccine, no one in your family can get it.

Joe said he was protecting the Vaccinated from the Unvaxxed.

Hillary Clinton said - No one is above the Law!

Chuck Schumer said, Kavanaugh - you won’t know what hit you!

AOC said, people have no choice but to riot and take up arms against their Oppressors.

When you are the fascist or authoritarian or racist or hater or cheater or liar, make sure you point the finger at others, in the hope that people won’t notice that you are exactly w’hat you accuse others of being.

It’s the Democrat party that’s authoritarian.

Any time I read somebody using words that describes themselves, it is the game playbook of the Left.

Just more projection by the New Nazi Party previously known as the democrat party.

I know a lot of strong Trump supporters and none of them is anywhere close to being an authoritarian.

We do have at least a soft authoritarian system already, and it has been the work of the Democrats and their fellow travelers among the Republicans who have grown the government beyond any sane bounds and misuse its powers whenever and however it suits them. We are against that.

I guess Raskin and his ilk are hoping their Goebbels-like propaganda methods will convince enough people otherwise.

He's actually mental ill. And the DNC is taking advantage of it. I'm not kidding.

Here is the timeline:

-Dec 31, 2020: Son Tommy Raskin commits suicide; Rep Raskin's office issues a statement on Tommy's passing without disclosing the nature of his death
-January 4, 2021: Rep Raskin and his wife posted a tribute online which stated that Thomas had died by suicide after a prolonged battle with depression.
-January 5, 2021: Tommy Raskin is buried
-January 6, 2021: Rep Raskin is back at work in D.C. to be sworn in with son and daughter-in-law.
-January 13 (or thereabouts): Pelosi names Raskin Lead Impeachment Manager.

I'm no expert (I never lost a child to suicide), but regardless if a person is liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican...NOBODY who loses a child to suicide, no matter for how long the child was suffering, can bounce back in a week and conduct himself at work objectively, IMHO

I understand the value of work to "deal" with trauma (I kept working in my office in Manhattan in the weeks after 9/11), and everyone handles devastation differently. However, this strikes me as being just wrong.

Primary blame, politically, rests with Pelosi - a REAL manager would bench Raskin, tell him to be with his family for a month, and give this sham of a job to someone who isn't emotionally compromised. It's not like there aren't scores of other bureaucrats who can push impeachment paper.

That said, if Raskin IS NOT suffering emotionally given his son killed himself three weeks ago, then there is truly some BIGGER problem with this guy.

It is bad enough that the Dems let a clearly demented man run for the Presidency. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Pelosi picked a man who's son just killed himself for a big hatchet job.

This guy remains ill. People who take advantage of the weak are filth.

Trump cut regulation, cut taxes and generally allowed more freedom.

Least effective authoritarian ever.
