On Sunday, Jamie Raskin called former Vice President Mike Pence a "hero" for his actions on January 6, 2021.
During an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," the Maryland Democrat, who was the lead manager for Trump's second impeachment trial and currently sits on the House panel investigating the January 6 insurrection, was asked by host Chuck Todd if he considered Vice President Mike Pence to be a hero
In a time of scandalous betrayal of people's oaths of office and crimes being committed all over the place, someone who does their job and sticks to the law will stand out.
He said that on that day he was a hero for resisting all of the pressure campaigns and the coercive efforts to get him to play along with this continuation of the Big Lie.
Biden's victory in the Electoral College was certified by the vice president after a riot in the House.
The January 6 panel offered their findings to the American people and had witnesses testify to the lengths at which Trump and many in his circle sought to invalidate now- President Joe Biden's 2020 victory.
The congressman responded to the attacks on the work of the committee.
If you allow impunity for attempts at unconstitutional seizure of power, which is what a coup is, then you're inviting. To be a strong, self-sustaining, self-respecting democracy, we can't allow people to decide that they are above the law.
The panel made the case for why the former president may have violated several criminal statutes, but I wouldn't pressure the US Attorney General to prosecute Trump.
He thinks that the US attorneys are paying close attention to the facts of the case.
