Raskin Stuns MTG With Humiliating Fact-Check

Mr chairman I'd like to submit for the record this 2021 Time magazine article titled how a white supremacist militia uses Facebook to radicalize and train new members about the Ukrainian Neo-Nazi aav Battalion without objection to ordered thank you time also put together a piece only three years ago and it's quite an extensive video that gives full information about the Nazis in Ukraine and their recruitment efforts that go all around the world um it's amazing to me that just in a few years time uh it's now considered misinformation to talk about the Nazis in Ukraine I'd like to quote the article it says that Ali sufen a security consultant and former FBI agent who has studied aav Nazis estimates that more than 177,000 foreign Fighters have come to Ukraine over the past six years from 50 countries according to Christopher Ray the FBI director he said that aov has been recruiting and radicalizing and Training American citizens for years he also finished saying uh in his testimony to the US Senate that American white supremacists are actually traveling overseas to train uh this is an extremely concerning situation I don't think anyone in the United States government Americans do not support actual Nazis or white supremacists I know I certainly do not and I can't understand why in just a short amount of time this information that our own American Media frequently talked about is no longer talked about I'd like to point out um also here's an NBC article stating that Ukraine's Nazi problem is real Mr Snyder do you see this headline this is NBC news they say that Ukraine's Nazi problem is real uh even if Putin's denazification claim is not so even our own American Media unless you consider NBC or Time Magazine misinformation spreaders or disinformation media Outlets um this is contrary to to what you testified and there's frequent pictures all over anybody can find them of Nazis here they are looks like something you'd see out of Hitler's Germany from Ukraine and this is something that's extremely important to talk about according to the Council of Europe however Ukraine is ranked well in the top half of countries in terms of how corrupt they are and The Last 5 Years Ukraine has ranked close to the countries like Gambia Iran Myanmar and Sierra Leon in corruption that's not very free and Democratic company to keep one of the ways that we lose to authoritarian States is if they can get their claws into our leaders either through money or comprom or psychological manipulation I just want to show you what happens when our leaders cave in to China and to Russia so here are some of the the tweets that were sent out by the last president about about President XI in China smart brilliant everything perfect we love each other friend of mine a very very good man there's nobody like that the look The Brain the whole thing my feeling toward you is an incredibly warm one a brilliant man if you went all over Hollywood to look for somebody to play the role of President she you couldn't find it there's nobody like that the look The Brain the whole thing and here's uh the the ex-president on Putin his invasion of Ukraine is genius and pretty Savvy Putin was smart the man has very strong control over a country a tough cookie with great charm so we need some democratic self-respect in order to combat the propaganda and I am also happy that we saw today a few members actually demonstrate what propaganda running through American politicians looks like thank you for calling this very significant and important hearing Mr chairman I yield back to you it is genuinely funny how much margorie green clearly hates Jamie Raskin Mr chairman I yield back will the G lady yield for a question no I will not yield to one of your stupid questions that are always attacking me and attacking president president Trump how about a Medi I want I do not want an excellent question a smart question an intelligent question you have no smart or intelligent questions chair now recognizes Mr Garcia for five minutes the the general lady I think said something about the Russian hoax or Russian collusion I accept the heckling Mr Speaker that that's all right because if she wants to continue to stand with Vladimir Putin and his brutal bloody Invasion against the people Ukraine she is free to do so and we understand there is a strong Trump Putin axis in the gentle ladies party she wants to continue to stand with Vladimir Putin Donald Trump that is her prerogative but please do it on your own time our colleague from Georgia has uh introduced before pornographic exhibits and displayed things that are really not suitable for children who might be watching and a bathing suit's not suitable Mr Ras well I'm saying I would like the witness to I would like the member to be instructed to not introduce any pornography today at least without running it suit is not pornography we can't see it from down there so you didn't make it available to the minority before you started SE it before it's it's on on the Internet it's everywhere you and you are submitting a naked woman's body this is a bathing suit this is a bathing suit and it has not been clear before this committee glasses on do you wear them or not it's a I have contacts in thank you oh congratulations more than a dozen GOP members and Biden majority districts don't want to go anywhere near that fantasy production so the Trump Putin Mega faction headed up by the distinguished General lady from Georgia has been given this worthless trinket of a consolation prize the opportunity to bring a slapstick impeachment drive against a Cabinet member of unimpeachable Integrity who has obviously committed no treason no bribery no high crimes no misdemeanors nothing indictable or even indictable if you different Congressional investigations and inquiries and I know that pleases the gentle lady from Georgia because he issued I just want to hear Joe Biden why can't the American people hear him order Mr chairman get her under control he president Trump president Trump issued an edict no I I I I am glad I am glad that the gentle lady from Georgia is learning something tonight okay the the president I I I encourage I encourage her to be a good listener and she's been she's been a good listener so now of course both representative Raskin and Jasmine Crockett have been out there scoring hits Banger after Banger for months now if not years in the case of Jamie Raskin but combined with Joe Biden stepping out of the race and KLA Harris stepping in as the new Queen of the democratic party it really feels like the Democrats finally have some bite and perhaps it's no wonder that people like Rasin and Crockett are the ones doing it in the house they're lawyers they know what to do they know how to land these hits but much more important than the success of their attacks the success of the way they set things up seemingly perfectly made for the points they try to deliver in these uh hearings and the the the social media uh clips that come out of it is that this is not Marjorie green and this is not Lauren bber this isn't just swings and misses where you try to be sassy or you try to be cruel or something like this they actually do the research they understand the material they have the facts on their side and when you have a well-crafted argument that is founded in the actual facts and you know how to deliver it you have that sort of natural performative thing then that creates pure gold and we enjoy it week in and week out now obviously these uh hearing performances by people like Crockett and people like Rasin and others and you know the speeches that we're already seeing from Harris out on the campaign Trail are great uh they're no substitute for policy we need the policy as well we need the actual wins but until we get there it's nice to at least have a little bit of fight a little bit of fire a little bit of Fury on the Democratic side it has been aough few years particularly as Donald Trump has been campaigning as he seems to be completely incapable of being hemmed in by the legal system by consequences of almost any kind we need something to inspire us they have that on the Maga side they have Donald Trump he's a monster but he's their monster and they Delight in having their monster out there rampaging through cities and tearing down buildings and all that and and they're happy to have that uh you know what the Democratic party needs though in the face of this monster they need a monster Slayer and I don't know for sure at this point that Harris is that person but if she is if she could slay that monster and in particular if she could do it live on a debate stage well I don't know if there's much more I could ask [Music] for members make a difference here at tyt you help make the show happen and we see you in the chat with your loyalty badge click the join button to become
