[Breitbart] Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) told the Democratic National Convention in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
, Illinois, on Monday night that Republicans could try to ''kill'' Sen. JD Vance.
Raskin was referring to the hostility expressed by a small group of rioters on January 6, 2021, who brought a mock guillotine to the Capitol and were said to be searching for Vice President Mike Pence to punish him for not rejecting the congressional certification of the Electoral College vote.
The speech was bitter, and vindictive — as much of Raskin's rhetoric has been about Trump, even before he took office.
He said:
Someone should have told Donald Trump
 ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
that the president's job under Article II of the Constitution, is to take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not that the vice president is executed. Pence has now joined more than two dozen officials from Donald Trump's own administration in denouncing him. A historical record. Pence is the first vice president in more than two centuries not to support the president he served with in a general election. By the way, JD vance, do you understand why there was a sudden job opening for running mate on the GOP ticket? They tried to kill your predecessor. They tried to kill him because he would not follow Trump's plan to destroy and nullify the votes of millions of Americans. Your votes, Pennsylvania; your votes, Michigan; your votes, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona. Are we going to go back to the days of election suppression and violent mostly peaceful insurrection?
In January 2017, Raskin said that Trump should be impeached as soon as he entered the Oval Office, based on a bogus ''Emoluments Clause'' argument that claimed that income from Trump's businesses, which included revenue from overseas and foreign guests in Trump hotels in the United States, should disqualify him from office.
