A leading Democrat has been captured on video discussing a plan to deny GOP nominee Donald Trump the presidency should he win a second term in November on his third run for the White House.
Rep. Jamie Rasken of Maryland, the ranking member of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, mentioned invoking Clause 3 of the 14th Amendment — the ‘insurrection’ clause — and also used the term “civil war” as well as the need for “bodyguards” should Congress move to deny Trump his rightful victory.
“What can be put into the Constitution can slip away from you very quickly. And the greatest example going on right now before our very eyes is Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which they’re just disappearing with a magic wand, as if it doesn’t exist, even though it could not be clearer what it’s stating,” Raskin said, adding this chilling remark: “They want to kick it to Congress. So it’s going to be up to us on January 6, 2025, to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he’s disqualified, and then we need bodyguards.”
