Alaska Rep. Mary Peltola was recruited by fellow Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland to be part of a program he created called Democracy Summer. It is a program to recruit young Democrats and train them in the ways of the party and campaigning for Democrats, developing a young army, if you will, to be deployed across the nation.
Now, just a month after an assassination attempt was made against Donald Trump, Raskin is planning to take the next step and overthrow the government if Trump is elected president again. In a televised interview, he said he and colleagues will use Section 3 of the 14th Amendment against Trump, since the Supreme Court has not done so to his satisfaction.
“It will be up to us on Jan. 6, 2025 to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he’s disqualified. Then it will be bodyguards for everybody and civil war conditions,” he said.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment pertains to “Disqualification from Holding Office.” It says:
“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”
Raskin plans to prevent Trump from taking office and is ready to create “civil war conditions,” if he has to. He has been training youth across America to be his foot soldiers.
“Founded by Congressman Jamie Raskin, backed by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and buoyed by thousands of supportive alumni across the country, Democracy Summer engages high school and college-aged young people in state-of-the-art tactics in voter registration, canvassing and digital political organizing. Moreover, through on-line seminars with leading historians, law professors, political organizers and union and elected leaders, it provides an intensive education in the historical struggle for democratic freedom and essential lessons for effective political leadership today,” the group’s website says.
The question is for Peltola: Was this part of the Democracy Summer training program that Peltola has been part of? Does Peltola support Raskin’s insurrection and plan to overthrow the government? And is she willing to use the same section of the Constitution to remove Raskin for his own already-declared intent to overthrow a duly elected president?
Defeating and unseating Trump has been a part of Raskin’s plan since he was elected to his federal seat in 2016, the same year Trump was elected.
“Elected to Congress the same night in November 2016 that Donald Trump won the presidency, Jamie went to work immediately to rally the Democrats locally and nationally and—as a key Member of the House Judiciary Committee, Oversight and Reform Committee, Rules Committee and Administration Committee—to oppose the lawlessness, corruption and extremism of the Trump Administration,” says his biographical review at Democracy Summer’s website.
With that as the basis for Democracy Summer, Mary Peltola has signed on to help Raskin with his ambitions, which were revealed in his interview above — overthrowing the next president. It’s now up to Peltola to decide which part she wants to play in Raskin’s Revolution.
The defenders of Democracy once again acting to deny the (potential) will of the voters.
I guess it’s only bad when the right misbehaves.
He can scheme all he wants, it’s not gonna happen. Interesting to not he’s fine with starting a civil war if necessary.
And Trump is the problem? Really?
Thank you
As big an idiot as he is, even he has to know the 14th was designed specifically to deal with the Confederacy. His dream is unconstitutional and he knows it.
That’s why he wants civil war.
“……..Then it will be bodyguards for everybody and civil war conditions………”
A repeat of 2016-2021 was guaranteed, but their open call and stage setting for civil war has pretty much set a new tone. I think it’s pretty certain to be a near future of misery and grief. I don’t see an Abraham Lincoln or U.S. Grant out there to administer mercy after the bloodbath, so people like Mr. Raskin might be facing a French Revolution style outcome for bringing this horror down on this nation and world.
Why are there 100 year old oaks lining the Washington mall?
I guess Jamie Raskin doesn’t understand English or our laws very well, figures.
Mary should invite him moose hunting next month.
Shades of Dick Cheney?
“Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection and Other Rights
“Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”
Doesn’t sound like an insurrection to me; more like clarification of terminology i.e. insurrection.
You’re as confused as Raskin.
Last time I checked, President Trump has never engaged in an insurrection or rebellion. He has never been charged, or tried of either of those actions.
None of this matters. Not for one second. As long as rural Alaska keeps getting their handouts, and as long as Mary delivers those handouts, she can get away with anything. Worse: Lisa will lock arms with her singing, “I am woman hear me roar!” Binkley’s rag will be there to get it all on camera. Meanwhile: conservatives will do nothing.
True. The Tanana Chiefs Conference August mailout’s front page headline says, “Biden Backs Indigenous Knowledge to Protect Alaska.” Keep feeding the natives cookies and they’ll do anything Peltola and the dems want.
This Conservative is working for a peaceful solution but prepared for War. The left does not understand the power we the people have but they may find out. You can only push so far before action becomes reality.
Good luck with Jamie Raskins civil war rage unless He can talk Mary into shipping all 175 of her hunting weapons to DC to arm the young democrat soldiers who dont know which end of the weapon is dangerous.
Their young Democrat soldiers are already armed with millions upon millions of firearms.
Send it raskin. If it’s civil war you want look no further. I’m
Your huckleberry. What a doofus. As usual Democrats are blood sucking war mongers.
This sounds like an insurrection ?? Where is the FBI. ??
They won’t do anything because the democrats can get away with anything they want…for now.
Sounds like a peaceful tourist visit to me.
Oh, don’t worry about the FBI, they’ll be around helping organize it.
The FBI will be the mastermind with Ray Epps as their paid stooge in the middle of the rioters leading the charge.
Don’t forget their role on Jan 6 2021.
The bigger question is they won’t have Nancy Pelosi in charge of organizing security for the event which was truly the biggest failure which not a word was spoken of during the circus clown investigation in which Jamie Raskin was the loudest clown.
Or at least until Biden’s imported radical terrorist’s stage another 9-11 style strike and take out a few thousand innocent voters who hopefully voted for Joe.
I wonder if Raskin said the quiet part out loud. That the progressives think now is the time to seize power.
What a creep and a liar. First, there was no ‘insurrection’ but only a protest that got out of hand. There were no weapons or organized violence. The left took an incident and recreated it into a useful image, giving it a useful label with the help of lawfare, for their own nefarious purposes, and that is to destroy our republic. Raskin was not elected by his constituents to pursue a vendetta. With all that is going on in our nation and world right now and Raskin’s focus is on obsessive illogical hate.
I agree Elizabeth. Even Don young said there was NO insurrection. Raskin is a dirt bag. The day of reckoning is coming. Very soon I hope.
So Mary wants a civil war? She will be in the front lines and lead I hope.
This is what the left wants so bad and they don’t think about the end.
Everybody hang on as this year and the election is going to be the worst for America since the real civil war.
Could Americans be forgiven for taking out their frustrations on Jaime’s Kids, maybe in the form of a good paddling
.
… or for not taking Peltola anywhere near as seriously as that one takes itself?
Ahhhh, now I understand why they were trying so hard to take our guns away!
They will promote violence against anyone who stands with Trump. That’s how radical communists roll folks. Trump is a threat to their takeover of the USA. They are being exposed and they can’t handle it. Peltola is one of their puppets. I hate to say it, but Nick Begich is looking better and better.
Was it one of his student that took the shot at President Trump?
