Joe Biden has been attacking MAGA Republicans accusing them of being “semi-fascist” and a “threat” to the foundation of the nation. Of course, when you have the alleged leader of the Democratic Party inciting the left against millions of Americans, that might just smell a little bit like Joe Biden is the true fascist he trying to label others as.
Now, we also have a little help on the question of who is the real fascist from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD). Raskin told CBS during an interview with “Face the Nation” on Sunday, “Two of the hallmarks of a fascist political party are, one, they don’t accept the results of elections that don’t go their way. And two, they embrace political violence.”
Now, that’s not the definition of “fascist.” But if he wants to use that definition, he’s telling on his people.
As we’ve previously noted, Democrats including Raskin objected to electors being accepted in 2017 when President Donald Trump won. Raskin objected to Florida’s electors being accepted.
In addition to having Democrat members of Congress trying to block the electoral count, the electors received death threats. They also faced pressure and efforts to suborn their votes to prevent Trump from being elected. There was even an effort to try to have the intel community push the Russia collusion hoax to the electors, hoping they wouldn’t vote for Trump as a result. Close to 70 Democrats boycotted the inauguration and, of course, there was rioting in the streets of D.C. Sure looks like an “insurrection” to me.
But most of the over 200 people arrested in that rioting had their prosecutions dropped, unlike the Jan. 6 riot.
As we reported earlier, Raskin also sowed “election denialism” about the 2000 election when in 2003, he claimed that the Supreme Court had “thwarted the will of the people” and given the country its first “court-appointed president.” He even pushed the false claim that votes weren’t counted. Not to mention Hillary Clinton is still throwing fits over 2016 and Stacey Abrams claimed she won in Georgia. Democrats have denied election results since at least 2000.
So thank you, Jamie Raskin, for helping us to understand who the real fascists are here.
