When asked about special counsel Robert Hur’s testimony at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Biden’s handling of classified documents investigation, Raskin said: Regarding the actions of the prosecutor. ”
He continued: “While there is no basis for pursuing criminal charges, it appears he is stooping to send a political message that he is willing to throw a bone to his Republican allies.”
Raskin added, “I think President Biden has cleared all of that away. He knows what this election is about and what this administration is about. It’s about democracy and freedom. And as I said today, this is a memory test, but it’s not a memory test for President Biden. It’s an American memory test. Remember fascism? We’re talking about Nazism, Communism, the whole thing. Remember ism? What are we up against in terms of authoritarian forces rallying around Donald Trump, including Victor Orban, who held a slumber party at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend? Did you know? He came out and resisted Mr. Orban’s friend Vladimir Putin’s dirty imperialism, bloody invasion, war against the Ukrainian people, and told Donald that he would not give a dime to the Ukrainian people. I declared that I was very happy with what Trump said. That’s what the election is about. That’s the real test of memory.”
