Great appreciation for Mr Raskin. He truly is an “American Patriot”. Thanks for the upload.

[jetsamperes]

This is the best condensed explanation of all the events I've heard yet.

1776...when america had to protect itself from red coats...now we have to protect ourselves from red hats...the enemy within...

Jamie we were all caught up. All over America, all over the world. Every American who loves freedom saw a little piece of America die that day. It had been unwell for quite a while but it still hurt. It shocked us to our core. But it is gone it will not come back tomorrow. There is one way to save the remaining part of our democracy. Accountability at the highest levels.

Wow! Jamie just let it all out no holds barred. Well done Jamie

So Mike Pence finally didn't buckle under the thumb of Donald Trump, but he *_could_* have - and that's pretty scary. It means that the checks and limits inscribed into law are so weak that the entire American nation can be subverted by a single person acting in his own interest. It truly is frightening that such a thing is _possible, _ and calls for a close examination of the internal political systems, and for changes to be made.

i am ok that we disagree on policy, the part that is disgusting is that so many people support a coup.

[emilschattner]

The more I watch American politic, the more I feel blessed to live in Canada.

Rep Raskin is a true patriot .., ..
A man who's actions command respect ....☺

This is what happens when the individual citizens’ votes are not equal. Time to get rid of the electoral college and time to base congressional seats and senate seats based on population. That would represent the population more accurately.

[jrcenteno]

That was such a flawless, accurate-explaination that Rep. Jamie Raskin laid out for all Americans to hear. There's no chance of not understanding Exactly what Rep. Raskin said in this interview. Rep. Raskin knows how to make such an accurate explaination of traitor-trumps attempted coup. Bless you Rep. Raskin. 🙏 For seeking Justice.

[chemento]

Always really good to hear Jamie Raskin. I'd wish there were more politicians of his make -- on either side of the isle.

[cherylernst]

No. It was a coup. Just because it wasn't successful doesn't make it not a coup. Just like if you don't leave with the money, that doesn't make it not a bank robbery.

[searsfarmcat]

Rep. Raskin is a brilliant, honorable leader with impeccable experience and real integrity. I love hearing him speak. Every legitimate news station should have him on their shows more frequently.

[jeanm]

Much respect for this Congressman…gives such clarity on what took place. A true rep for the American people.

[eltorocal]

'Trump says he's not mad at McCarthy over leaked audio"? Give 'em both a day or two... McCarthy will fold like the cheap suit he is... and Drumpf will call him a "coffee boy"...

[keithgrillo]

BTW Jamie this insurrection is still in motion just in different modes.

[frisco]

Raskin stated the case against Trump brilliantly here.

[brianag]

When I listen to Rep. Raskin, I am reminded of being a very proud Marylander.

[josephdelatorre]

It's clear to me as a us army veteran of this great country, that trump needs to be brought to
