Attempting to criticize former President \u200dDonald\u200b Trump regarding the January 6 \u200cCapitol riot, Raskin stumbled over\u2064 his \u200blines, particularly when he tried \u2064to deliver a clever jab that fell flat due to the interruption. Observers noted the \u200cunfortunate timing of\u2062 his comments, given recent violent threats \u2062against political figures. The incident was seen as particularly noteworthy amidst a series\u2064 of lackluster performances \u200cfrom other speakers \u2063at the event. Critics pointed out the\u200b irony of Raskin discussing law and order while the current administration faces scrutiny for \u200dits handling of various\u200c legal \u2063and immigration issues. Ultimately, Raskin\u2019s speech \u200cbecame a moment of national embarrassment, raising questions about his preparedness and the message\u200c he tried to convey.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Someone should have told Jamie Raskin to learn his speech better.<\/p>\n<p>The Maryland congressman found himself literally at a loss for words when his teleprompter apparently failed Monday night during a speech at the Democratic National Convention.<\/p>\n<p>And at a moment when he was trying to embarrass former President Donald Trump, Raskin only ended up humiliating himself.<\/p>\n<p>Raskin, one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/comer-vindicated-raskin-refuted-doj-letter-confirms-investigation-biden-bribery-ongoing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">most inveterate liars<\/a> in a Democratic Party that regularly boasts a bumper crop of dishonesty, was harping on the Democratic bugaboo of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion, when he cited the chants allegedly heard from rioters screaming &ldquo;hang Mike Pence.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Check it out here:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">JUST IN: U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin completely freezes up on stage at the DNC as his teleprompter appears to fail on him.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Someone should have told Donald Trump that the President&rsquo;s job under Article two of the Constitution&hellip;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>*Long pause*<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Someone should have told&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DNGYlzKlMT\">pic.twitter.com\/DNGYlzKlMT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CollinRugg\/status\/1825721987223925220?\">August 20, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Someone should have told Donald Trump that the president&rsquo;s job, under Aritcle II of the Constitution&hellip;,&rdquo; Raskin said before coming to a complete halt, then resuming with repetition.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Someone should have told Donald Trump that the President&rsquo;s job, under Article II of the Constitution, is to take care that the laws are faithfully executed &mdash; not that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">vice president<\/a> is executed.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It was a nasty jab at Trump, and it it might have sounded clever enough to Raskin when he was writing the speech &mdash; or to whomever wrote the speech for him.

And outdoing Biden in the arena of humiliation in public speaking is an accomplishment indeed.<\/p>\n<p>And then there&rsquo;s the context. The fact that Trump himself only narrowly escaped death at the hand of a would-be assassin just a little over a month ago makes political jibes with the word &ldquo;executed&rdquo; unseemly at best. Given that, the timing of a blunder like this could not have been worse.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the technical problem &mdash; and the national embarrassment of a man losing his oratorical crutch in a humiliating moment on national television &mdash; there was the irony of Raskin harping on law and order to promote Vice President Kamala Harris, the junior partner in the Biden-Harris administration that has made a mockery of law for the past four years.<\/p>\n<p>  <script> \t\t\t\tif( ! getCookie( 'ff_subbed' ) ) if( typeof FFADS.replace_ict !='undefined' ) if( FFADS.replace_ict ) eval( FFADS.replace_ict ); \t\t\t<\/script>  <\/p>\n<p>Someone should have told Donald Trump that the president&rsquo;s job under Article II of the Constitution is to take care that the laws are faithfully executed?<\/p>\n<p>Does Raskin think that the Biden-Harris administration is faithfully executing American law when it allows millions of migrants from around the world to <em>illegally<\/em> stream <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/recently-retired-border-patrol-union-president-lays-disappointing-truth-kamala-harris-immigration-efforts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">across American borders<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>Does Raskin think the Biden-Harris administration is faithfully executing the law when the president <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-unveil-second-attempt-mass-student-loan-cancellation-getting-slapped-supreme-court-first-time-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">repeatedly attempts<\/a> student loan&nbsp; &ldquo;forgiveness&rdquo; that gets swatted down in court, including the Supreme Court?<\/p>\n<p>Does he think the American public truly believes the Biden-Harris administration is taking care that American laws are being respected when it wields the laughably named Justice Department as a weapon of naked political power against Trump?<\/p>\n<p>The lawless rot at the heart of the Biden administration &mdash; beginning at the top, with a president stained by his family&rsquo;s influence-peddling scheme going back to Joe Biden&rsquo;s days as Barack Obama&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-pro-palestinian-protesters-disrupt-kamala-harris-speech-pushing-her-to-breaking-point-im-speaking\/\" title=\"Watch: Pro-Palestinian Protesters Disrupt Kamala Harris&#039; Speech, Pushing Her to Breaking Point - &#039;I&#039;m Speaking!&#039;\">vice president &#038;mdash<\/a>; is pretty much the opposite of &ldquo;taking care that the laws are faithfully executed.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s the kind of lawlessness that has metastasized throughout the Democratic Party, as witnessed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/huge-setback-soros-san-frans-progressive-da-booted-leftist-citys-residents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&ldquo;progressive&rdquo; prosecutors<\/a> who let criminals run free in Democratic cities and the politically driven Democratic district attorneys who&rsquo;ve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-ag-merrick-garland-scrambles-pressed-alvin-bragg-fani-willis-letitia-james-house-hearing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pursued prosecutions<\/a> of Trump in Manhattan, New York, and Fulton County, Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s the kind of lawlessness Democratic nominee Kamala Harris championed when she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mike-huckabee-floats-idea-impeaching-kamala-harris-bailing-blm-rioters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">helped raise money<\/a> to bail out for rioters arrested during the Democratic-backed violence that swept the nation&rsquo;s cities in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Raskin, who has been one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/need-therapy-gop-chairman-top-dem-get-tense-exchange-chaos-takes-hearing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biden family&rsquo;s top defenders<\/a> during the House Oversight Committee&rsquo;s investigation of Hunter Biden activities, has already established a reputation for being able to lie with breathtaking ease.<\/p>\n<p>He should be able to do it without a teleprompter by now.

The Maryland congressman experienced a significant lapse in his address during the Democratic National Convention on Monday night when his teleprompter seemingly malfunctioned. In an attempt to criticize former President Donald Trump, Raskin ended up embarrassing himself instead. While discussing the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot and referencing chants from rioters calling to &#8220;hang Mike Pence,&#8221; he faltered mid-sentence: \u201cSomeone should have told Donald Trump that the president\u2019s job under Article II of the Constitution\u2026\u201d followed by a long pause before he repeated himself.<\/p>\n<p>This comment was intended as a sharp critique of Trump but lost its impact due to Raskin&#8217;s interruption. The awkward moment occurred around the 40-second mark of his speech, which also featured other speakers who struggled with their presentations, including Hillary Clinton and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Remarkably, Raskin managed to surpass them all in terms of public speaking embarrassment.<\/p>\n<p>The timing was particularly unfortunate given that Trump had recently survived an assassination attempt just over a month prior; using &#8220;executed&#8221; in this context felt inappropriate. Beyond the technical difficulties and personal embarrassment on national television, there was irony in Raskin&#8217;s focus on law and order while promoting Vice President Kamala Harris\u2014part of an administration often criticized for undermining legal standards.<\/p>\n<p>Raskin questioned whether Trump&#8217;s understanding of presidential duties aligned with how laws are enforced under Biden-Harris leadership\u2014pointing out issues like illegal immigration and failed student loan forgiveness attempts that faced legal challenges. He highlighted perceived lawlessness within the Biden administration, which has been marred by allegations against Joe Biden&#8217;s family regarding influence peddling during his vice presidency.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, it seems that Jamie Raskin has established a reputation for being able to mislead easily; perhaps he should have practiced delivering his own speech without relying on technology<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2327606,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/lollllll-raskin.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[7705,23717,32892,32171,3634],"class_list":["post-2327605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-dnc","tag-humiliation","tag-jamie-raskin","tag-political-commentary","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/lollllll-raskin.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2327605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2327605"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2327605\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2327606"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2327605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2327605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2327605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
