Jamie Raskin

Why are you making such a big deal of it?

Other times they were saying it was a terrible, horrible thing, but it was Nancy Pelosi's fault.

You and your Democratic colleagues introduced statements into the record today from your Republican colleagues from the immediate aftermath of January 6th that were totally at odds with their language today.

referring to it as very serious and indeed criminal and something that should be responded to by the criminal justice system.

I just feel like they're everywhere on January 6th right now.

Do you have a handle on where Republicans, what Republicans in Congress think about it now?

I mean, in defense of Congressman Drew of New Jersey, he did concede on the record today, I'm a simple guy.

And so I felt like, oh, OK, you know what I mean?

If you're going to set the table that way, basically anybody can be put in the placemat.

Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee.

Sir, this has been a big day, and I know it was a lot of preparation to get ready for today, too.

Thank you so much for staying up late and being here with us.

We really appreciate it.

My pleasure.

All right.

John, I have to ask you, because you just sat down with us.

Let me get your reaction to what Congressman Raskin there, but I also just wanted to get your take on what you saw today.

And of course, tonight, the eve of what is expected to be effectively a general strike tomorrow in Minneapolis, with clergy converging on Minneapolis from all over the country and businesses, schools,

Public accommodation, everything essentially in Minneapolis expected to come to a halt tomorrow as the entire city walks out, participates in a demonstration at 2 p.m., but also just walks out and refuses to participate in public life or any commerce in order to tell ICE to get out of that city.

Tomorrow's going to be a dramatic day in Minneapolis.
