Jamie Raskin sinks to new low by vowing vengeance on foreign leaders who work with Team Trump

Raskin dresses it up with his noise about “the descent into fascism in America,” but he’s the one destroying nonpartisan norms of our politics.

Putting partisan politics far above patriotism (if he has any), top Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin is outright threatening vengeance on foreign leaders who work with the Trump administration.

Yes, he washes it through rhetoric about fighting “authoritarianism in our country,” but that’s simply cover for goonish threats.

Raskin (D-Md.) issued it on the “Pod Save America” podcast, after progressive host Tommy Vietor cited (surely left-wing) Latin America experts as urging Democrats to warn off “any foreign government that participates in the extraordinary rendition of American citizens.”

And just what American "citizens" are suffering extraordinary rendition? Or rendition of any kind, for that matter? Unless, of course, the Democrats have extended citizenship to anybody who happens to arrive in America by any illegal means. If that were the case, then as somebody who has spent a lot of years and a lot of money doing it the right way, I would be greatly angered. And I'm pretty sure so would all of the other legal immigrants.

With DOGE money collapse, removal of security clearances, and refusals to work with rogue governments like the EU, this desperate threat though seems to be a symptom of true desperation. It suggests how not in control the left is left with.
