Rep. Jamie Raskin notes horrors of Jan. 6
Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, who was a member of the House's Jan. 6 committee, warned about the "banana Republicans who have converted Lincoln's party into a dangerous cult of personality."
Raskin recalled the violence and destruction caused that day by Trump's supporters and the former president's push of election falsehoods.

"All of this after Trump was defeated by more than 7 million votes by the great Joe Biden," he said.
Raskin also took note that the rioters chanted to hang former Vice President Mike Pence, who he noted is not supporting Trump this election.
"By the way, JD Vance, do you understand why there was a sudden job opening for running mate on the GOP ticket?" he said. "They tried to kill him because he would not follow Trump's plan to destroy and nullify the votes of millions of Americans."
Raskin also pointed out Trump's comments about possibly pardoning the insurrectionists and pushed Americans to support Harris.
"Let's make it a landslide so big that Donald Trump and his kangaroo court, Supreme Court justices, cannot even try to steal it," he said.
