Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin has been out for blood since the Republican midterm defeat and is claiming that members of the GOP want to see President Trump impeached.

Raskin sits as the top Dem on the House Judiciary Committee and told MS NOW host Luke Russert that Trump is a “weight” on the Republican Party that is “begging” for Trump’s impeachment.

“Let me just start with Trump for a second,” Raskin began on a Wednesday episode of “The Weeknight,” Breitbart reported.

“No, we’re not going to do them any political favors. I mean, they are practically begging us at this point to impeach Trump because he’s such an albatross. He’s such a weight on their party,” Raskin continued.

“And they understand he basically has brought the party of Lincoln down to humiliation and defeat and disgrace across the country. They would love nothing more than for us to impeach him. Of course, all of them who are still left in this cult of authoritarian personality are still following everything that he says. So at the very least, we want to give them some time to stew in their own juices, to lie in the bed that they made, and see whether any of them can find the backbone and the principle to break with Donald Trump.”

Raskin’s claims are a stretch, to say the least, but he’s been on a media blitz for weeks, seemingly testing the waters over possible impeachments.

Earlier in the week, he claimed that Democrats would never seek political retribution against MAGA-affiliated Republicans.

Jamie Raskin is now saying Democrats would NEVER commit political retribution against Trump or anyone who worked with him.

Funny, that’s not what he was saying a few days ago. https://t.co/ipgp8XtlaT

The prior week, Raskin announced an investigation of cooperation and law firms that collaborated with Trump and his administration.

Jamie Raskin promises Democrats will be going after corporations and law firms that “collaborated,” “capitulated” and “surrendered” to Trump.

Translation: We will try to destroy any company or firm that dared to work with the Trump administration. Examples must be made for defying the will of the Democrat party.

It was all about healthcare and affordability, you guys.
