I believe my eyes about Jamie Raskin

Sometimes when a guy looks like a freak, he IS a freak. Through and through.
Jamie, Congressman, was undergoing chemo. Remember? His hair was falling out, so he started wearing COLORFUL HAPPILY DECORATED SCARVES COVERING HIS HEAD.
To go with his suit and tie.
If I saw a dude dressed like that on the street, I’d wonder who the hell was employing him.
I’d follow him to see where he went.
All the way—not to a hot dog stand or a swap meet booth selling scarves—to the Capitol, and if they let me inside, I’d track him down the hall until he was stopped by a reporter who would ask him, “Are you really serious about Trump?”
And Jamie would reply (these really are his words), “Donald Trump has already disqualified himself under the 14th Amendment by engaging in insurrection. If he were to win, Congress would have the power and responsibility to enforce the Constitution and disqualify him.”
And that statement would let me know I was right to think he was a freak.
He’s serious.
The dude who wore scarves on his head to go along with his suit and tie—when he could have just shaved his head—wants to DQ Trump if he wins the election.
Imagine it.
Imagine Jamie having the votes. In Congress.
Now THAT would be a hell of an insurrection. An incitement of incitements.
Sparking a giant conflagration from coast to coast—if Trump is driven from the Presidency after winning it.
But that’s OK with Jamie.
I guess that’s what he wants.
Usually, when the consequences of your actions are going to be immense, you’re not just saying, WELL, WE’LL HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THAT, you want it. You want the consequences to roll out. In this case, you want a fucking civil war. You want the whole country to burn. So you can RESCUE THE COUNTRY.
WE HAD TO DESTROY THE VILLAGE TO SAVE IT.
