He went further to allege that beyond what he described as profiteering schemes, the president has fixated on convincing Americans that he won the 2020 contest.<\/p>\n<p>Raskin cited the official Electoral College tally of 306 to 232 and the popular vote margin of more than 7 million votes in favor of Joe Biden. He connected Trump&#8217;s election claims to the January 6 Capitol riot, describing it as a violent mob assault on law enforcement and the constitutional transfer of power process.<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic representative then offered a psychological diagnosis of the president, stating that Trump remains obsessed with the 2020 election because he knows he is wrong about the results. Raskin claimed this indicated <em>some deformed core of conscience<\/em> that compels Trump to revisit what the congressman termed the scene of the crime.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing Republican efforts to expunge Trump&#8217;s impeachments, Raskin acknowledged that the Constitution contains no provision for such action. However, he challenged Republicans to introduce a resolution stating their position clearly, suggesting such a vote would force GOP members to go on record supporting Trump&#8217;s election claims and the events of January 6.<\/p>\n<p>The original impeachment vote referenced by Raskin passed 232 to 197, with ten Republicans joining all Democrats in favor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right\"><em>With information from <a href=\"https:\/\/breitbart.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Breitbart News<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrat Representative Jamie Raskin accused President Trump of making impeachable offenses central to his administration while attempting to reshape public memory of the 2020 election results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":6236,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[122],"tags":[5596,196,6526,2475,6527,2713,209],"nfg_topic":[135],"class_list":["post-6237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-2020-election","tag-donald-trump","tag-impeachment","tag-jamie-raskin","tag-january-6-capitol-riot","tag-maryland","tag-united-states","nfg_topic-world"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/47"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6237"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6237\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6254,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6237\/revisions\/6254"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6236"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6237"},{"taxonomy":"nfg_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsfire.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nfg_topic?post=6237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
