Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) on Friday dismantled former President Donald Trump’s 14-page response to a subpoena from the Home choose committee investigating the lethal U.S. Capitol riot.
Raskin, a member of the committee, informed MSNBC’s Chris Hayes that Trump was already “taking part in his foolish video games” along with his reply.
“I imply, that letter, together with the usage of the royal ‘we,’ which was fairly jarring, is simply an outrageous distraction from the truth to the extent that there’s something substance or substantive there,” he continued.
Raskin reality-checked Trump over his declare that Republicans “really feel” the election was rigged, saying MAGA Republicans have as but been unable to pinpoint to him how the vote was really stolen.
“They will’t say. They simply have a sense. And in reality, Trump makes use of that too on this enormously revealing letter, the place he says numerous individuals ‘really feel’ that there was fraud,” he added. “I’m sorry. Your emotions, Mr. Snowflake, can not dictate the course of the way forward for the republic. No, your emotions can not dictate our elections.”
