Jamie Raskin SLAMS GOP Exploitation of Tragedy - Rebel HQ



During a fiery congressional hearing, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) took on MAGA Republican Chip Roy after Roy tried to use a tragic crime to justify the Trump-era crackdown on immigrants.

As Roy leaned into xenophobic rhetoric, Raskin pushed back with facts and moral clarity, exposing how the GOP exploits grief to promote cruelty. Libertarian witness Alex Nowrasteh also weighed in to dismantle the GOP’s misleading narrative. - 08/09/2025.

Stood side by side with a convicted felon and let him walk away Scot free. Every time. And for her dereliction of duty our homeland security is suffering. Because she has allowed a convicted felon to roam free.
