You know it has to be a pretty bad lie when MSNBC’s Katy Tur calls you out on it.
Tur, who once claimed she was about to “throw up” when she realized Donald Trump was going to be president, called out Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) when he blatantly lied during an interview about his attempts to call for impeachment.
“Here’s the thing, Congressman,” Tur said. “You want to impeach this president. You’ve said so.”
Raskin responded, “No I think … when did I say that?”
Tur wasn’t about to let that slide, reading a transcript from a rally in January of 2017.
“I want to say this about Donald Trump though I may well be voting to impeach over the next year or two,” she read. “Applause. This is a January 2017 rally. And you opposed Congress’s vote to certify the election result so you definitely don’t want him as president.”

Check out the clip below …
That’s what we in the biz call ‘busted.’
The rally Tur referred to wasn’t the only example of Raskin calling for the impeachment of President Trump.
In fact, it took him less than one week after Trump’s inauguration to start plotting ways to oust him from office.
In an interview with the Young Turks, Raskin said “Right now it looks pretty obvious that he’s on a collision course with the Emoluments Clause.”
He added, “If he goes into office and he refuses to divest himself, the moment that the first conflict comes up, that’s going to look like an impeachable offense.”
Think that’s bad? Raskin actually was talking impeachment before President Trump ever set foot in the White House.
“I just know that if I’m going to vote to impeach the man at some point, I would like to be able to look him in the eye on Inauguration Day,” he said during an interview discussing whether or not he would boycott the inauguration.
Oh, and he’s also been working on a bill regarding impeachment …
25 House Democrats are now working on the bill to impeach trump, since April, primary sponsor is Rep. Jamie Raskin

With all of that as background, the man had the audacity to ask Tur “When did I say that?”
Perhaps Congress should be looking at Raskin’s mental fitness.

Unfortunately, he is my MD rep, a rookie Congressman. No, I did not vote for him. One year on the job and all he has accomplished is sponsorship for an impeachment bill for Trump. Truly pathetic, he still wears a collar around his neck and a ring on his nose and is led around by Pelosi — a total whooze!
He’s got beady-eyed pedophile written all over his face. Might as well have had it stamped across his friggin forehead! Major idiot alert!
Who dressed the disheveled squirrel head? Idiot alert is right!! I just can’t take people like him seriously when they look like that!! Oh wait, I don’t anyway, they’re democraps!! LOL!!
This guy even looks stupid, and people voted for this loon?
Yah, I thought you couldn’t get drunk & vote??? Guess I must be wrong, you’d have to be drunk to vote for this idiot, or be a libturd.
DemonCraps think we’re all too stupid to fact-check them…….That might be true of their constituents!!
HaHaHa!!!
HE IS ONE OF THE BASTERDS IN WASHING THAT IS TRYING TO RUIN OUR COUNTY. HE SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR DOPE TO SEE WHAT HE IS TAKING, IF ANYTHING AND SO SHOULD ALL THE REST IN CONGRESS AND THE HOUSE. GOOGLE, THE NEW CLINTON CHRONICLES 2015 AND YOU JUST MIGHT WONDER ALSO.
He’s a left wing loon with a dead Squirrel on his head ! ! !
It has to be a dead squirrel, no self respecting live squirrel would be up there!! Just another lying POS Democrap!!
I have the power over Democrunts. It’s call a vote. So guess what no more Democunts in office anymore. Very simple choice. End of story!
Does anyone else feel sad? I have never seen such a concerted effort to totally annihilate and destroy another human being. I hope President Trump stands strong. What happened to the America I grew up loving and respecting? Oh, yeah. . . DEMOCRAPS!
Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin is a slime ball. Most of them are, so calling them out, has little, or no, relative importance or news value.
Liar, liar, pants on fire! Typical Demonrat modus operandi, tell lies! Screw you Demonrat’s!
