This man is an American hero, the way he could explain the whole thing in Congress was so well spoken. What a legend.

[spadada]

Fell in love with this man during the trial. Thank you for having him on.

[MrBrghsid]

An ordinary hero and a man of integrity, Mr Raskin. He and his team did a remarkable job at shining a light on one of the darkest moments in recent American history. Personally, I wasn't surprised that 40+ voted to acquit a criminal, but the disappointment was palpable, and I am not even a US citizen or live in the country.

[federicocaiazzo]

How can this man can muster such energy and conviction after what he’s been through it’s beyond me.

[rrosaseconda]

I'm not startled by the behavior of the GOP during Impeachment II, but I am disgusted and sickened by it. Thank You, Rep. Raskin, you did a superlative job of getting the facts on the record.

[TMNT_Maniac_]

those 'impartial' jurors that didn't bother to look up or pay attention even out of respect for the colleagues and the people who died protecting them, if they were ok with it all, why didn't they stay in the capitol when it was all going down? they were gonna be safe with their supporters weren't they... bunch of cowards, it's sickening. I don't understand that country, so ahead yet so backwards.

[inadaizz]

"not even wrong" an insult I've not heard in awhile lol.

[LeesaDeAndrea]

New name for Republican Party: Oathbreakers.

[dianeblumenthal]

So proud that Rep. Raskin is my congressman !!

[markphc]

Shame it didn’t matter to the Republican Senators what he said.

[Jeffertoya]

I live in Utah. My goal is to see to it that Mike Lee pays for violating his oaths both to be an impartial juror AND to defend the constitution against domestic threats by losing his seat.

I’m not a politician, I’m a musician. But we have to stand against such disloyal and borderline treasonous acts.

[WendyCH]

His son was so beautiful, so tragic. He did an amazing job. It was a travesty that the impeachment didn't succeed (again).

[ttburn]

The shame of voting against Trumps impeachment will stick forever on the Republicans.

[theresac]

Thank you for having him as a guest...can we clone him??? Amazing American Hero!

[rebecca-borg]

Halfway through this interview, I'm thinking democrats need to do training on the lines of: 'Psychology of the Republican mind'.

[marcodipietro]

Jamie's one of the most genuine people in politics.

[digital]

I went to high school with him. Great flag football quarterback!

[janwag]

Senator Raskin: one of our heroes!! Thanks 🙏

[frankbijnens]

Thoughts and prayer. 😟 You did a great job!

[lillyfitzgerald]

I have so much respect for Jamie Raskin. He has integrity and credibility and is an Asset to America and Americans.
