Democrat Jamie Raskin is on the J6 Committee, which is trying to prove that by denying the results of the 2020 election, Donald Trump is guilty of fomenting a “deadly insurrection.” Raskin has stated that denying any election results is a hallmark of fascism. In related news, Raskin has denied election results.
In defense Joe Biden’s MAGA hate speech last week, Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin went on “Face the Nation” to outline what he called the, “two of the hallmarks of a fascist political party.”
“One, they don’t accept the results of elections that don’t go their way, and two, they embrace political violence. And I think that’s why President Biden was right to sound the alarm this week about these continuing attacks on our constitutional order from the outside by Donald Trump and his movement,” said Raskin.
According to Raskin’s rules, if a political party doesn’t accept the results of elections that don’t go their way and embraces political violence, that party is fascist.
Democrats not only embraced but also encouraged the Summer of Floyd riots as well as political violence against conservative Supreme Court Justices for striking down Roe v. Wade. They definitely check off that box. As for denying elections, here’s Raskin in 2017 attempting to delegitimize President Trump’s victory:

“I have an objection because 10 of the 29 Electoral votes cast by Florida were cast by electors not lawfully certified because they violated Florida’s prohibition of dual office holders,” said Raskin.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a blatant case of fascism and insurrection fomenting in my life.
Raskin was of course echoing Joe Biden who, in his MAGA hate speech, said, “Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election. Either they win, or they were cheated.”
Biden accused Republicans of doing this and said it was, “extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”
Speaking of which, RNC Research put together this fun video of democrats denying election results that didn’t go their way:

Wow, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Jerry Nadler, Dianne Feinstein, Sheila Jackson Lee, Barbara Lee, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, TedLieu, Karine Jean-Pierre, Maxine Waters, Eddie Bernice Johnson, Nancy Pelosi, Sherod Brown, Debbie Stabenow, Danny Davis, Bernie Sanders, Dick Durbin, Corey Booker, and Jamie Rskin, all of who are current members of Congress or the Biden administration, have denied election results. Many of them denied multiple elections.
And in denying the results of the 2016 election, these democrats embraced and encouraged political violence that started with the Inauguration Day riots, lead to the Steve Scalise shooting, and lasted all four years of Trump’s very legitimate presidency.
When Jamie Raskin says the hallmarks of a fascist political party are denying election results and embracing political violence, he isn’t accusing the Republicans, he’s confessing to the sins of his own rotten party.
