Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) spoke at the Democratic National Convention and some of what he had to say set off critics.
At one point during his speech, he focused in on former President Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick, J.D. Vance. His comments, specifically those about former Vice President Mike Pence, didn’t sit right with conservatives.
Watch:
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.
REP. RASKIN: “JD Vance, do you understand why there was a sudden job opening for running mate on the GOP ticket? They tried to kill your predecessor!”
These people are SICK!!!

“J.D. Vance, do you understand why there was a sudden job opening for running mate on the GOP ticket? They tried to kill your predecessor!” he shouted, to an applauding audience.
Another clip pointed out that Pence isn’t supporting Trump’s presidential campaign, which is a break from the norm.
“Pence is the first vice president in more than two centuries not to support the president he served with in a general election,” he says.

Nobody tried to kill Pence.
Someone did try to kill Trump though and succeeded in killing a bystander.— Michelle Whitzel (@MichelleWhitzel) August 20, 2024
@RepRaskin is a disgusting, hateful man.

Jamie Raskin is a complete disgrace… must be a cousin to Adam Schiff.

What an absolutely disgusting piece of filth. Primordial slime has more value than POS does.

Hold on. @RepRaskin said “they” tried to.
Please, do tell. Who is “they”. The official story has been it was a lone actor.
That is not how he articulated it at all and he was rather emphatic.
Who is “they” @RepRaskin ?

Rep Raskin is an example of a very stupid person/low IQ individual running our country. I would not trust him filling up my car with gas.
