Rep. Jamie Raskin's Closing Remarks

The founding fathers warned us, as Representative Raskin reminded us yesterday, that tyrannical rulers begin as demagogues.

From the moment Donald Trump's candidacy began, we've seen the direction he's taken our nation. The next election is our last chance to end his despotic rise once and for all.

The Lincoln Project is a leading pro-democracy organization in the United States — dedicated to the preservation, protection, and defense of democracy. Our fight against Trumpism is only beginning. We must combat these forces everywhere and at all times — our democracy depends on it.

It must end here and NOW! Thank you for your leadership Congressman Raskin!

We need MORE elected leaders like Jamie Raskin, and LESS of the Gaetz, Greene, Boebert, Jordan, Brookes et all.

"The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob. They gave to us a republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, each generation to keep safe our founding creed. And for more than two hundred years, we have."

~ Barack Obama, American lawyer, writer, politician, activist, and humanitarian who served as the 44th President of the United States of America 🇺🇸

Extremely eloquent and concise. Top man describing the actions of a bottom feeder.

Glad you folks are highlighting Raskin's closing statements. Very powerful.

[georgerose]

Absolutely brilliant and so true. So sad that all of America doesn't share his views!

[philgroves]

Thankfully Mr. Raskin has actually studied history, and understands it in relative, contemporary context.

[freedomstar]

Ladies and gentlemen: the kind of leaders America needs.

[mosesaguirre]

Thank you Congressman Raskin! Your words are illuminating and full of integrity!

[hildegardjensen]

What an eloquent closing. Unfortunately Trump would not understand most of it. How can so many people follow that buffoon into the abyss where democracy cannot survive. I hope that America can rise again and that democracy and clear thinking will triumph in the end.

[DJShoutSmith]

Wow! Superb & moving! Democrats, please Lincoln Project help you!

[charliebrown]

Slowly, we are pulling out of darkness that was the last administration. Now, the traitors need to go to jail. I hope the justice Department has the guts to do it. It was a big mistake letting Nixon off the hook.

Jamie Raskin is incredible and he delivered a truthful heartfelt speech that would move the people. Better, truer words were never spoken.

[BarbaraC]

Just love this man. I could listen to him for hours. He’s fair and wise and caring. Thank you for highlighting him.

[dirtydawg-]

This is possibly THE most important speech in my lifetime. Please listen to this man, left, right & center, it is important to us all.

[jameschrist]

Trump should spend the rest of his life in prison for what he has done and tried to do.

[Sylphinator]

I love this man with every piece of my American heart... He is so intelligent, well spoken, such a proud patriot and defender of this country. I would vote for him hands down if ever he threw his hat into the ring for President. With Katie Porter at his side they would be unstoppable.

[teresas]

This man would be a good President. He has integrity and courage, is respectful, intelligent, and possesses leadership qualities. And, importantly, I like his stance on multiple issues. I’d vote for him.

[spurmarks]

This should be required listening by every American!
