House Oversight Chairman James Comer questioned Rep. Jamie Raskin’s commitment to democracy on Friday, declaring the Maryland Democrat would rebuff the 2024 presidential election results if Donald Trump retakes the White House.
The accusations by Comer (R-Ky) come after the release of a new report in which Raskin – the top Democrat on the House Oversight committee and a former Jan. 6 committee member – said he “definitely” does not expect the former president to observe “free, fair and honest means” to win the Nov. 5 election, according to reports.
“Ranking member Raskin is the ultimate hypocrite,” Comer told Fox News Digital. “He talks a big game about ‘saving democracy’ yet actively undermines it by sowing seeds of doubt in America’s free and fair elections when it benefits him to do so.”
The Kentucky Republican suggested Raskin doesn’t care about democracy and only wants a Democrat in the White House “whatever the cost,” accusing Raskin of being “a two-time election denier.”
Comer claimed Raskin once suggested the 2000 election was illegitimate and then failed to certify the election results when Trump won the presidency in 2016.
