Anyway, welcome to this special holiday episode of Mea Culpa. We’re going to get right to the main event… because our conversation is with one of the most articulate and effective Democratic statesmen working on Capitol Hill today, Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin. Raskin has been serving as the U.S. representative for Maryland's 8th congressional district since 2017. He also served in the Maryland State Senate from 2007 to 2016. Raskin is known as a great champion of civil rights and is proud of his left-of-center voting records saying, his “ambition is not to be in the political center, it is to be in the moral center.” To that end, Raskin was a Manager during Trump’s second Impeachment trial. He was also appointed to the House Special Select Committee on the January 6th attacks, after which he famously said in his closing statements, quote, “In a world of resurgent authoritarianism, racism, and antisemitism, let’s all hang tough for American democracy.” …I’m with Jamie. And today we will discuss everything from the fallout from the War in Gaza to the current state of Congress. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
