Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) made a comment on the “Pod Save America” show that is raising a lot of eyebrows.
The episode sounds like it was filmed before Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador, but it appears to have just been released over the weekend.
Tommy Vietor explained to Raskin that a Latin American policy expert had suggested to him that Democrats should “threaten to take action against any foreign government that participates in the extraordinary rendition of American citizens.” (Abrego Garcia isn’t an American citizen.) He asked Raskin what he thought about that.
Jamie Raskin: “When we come back to power — and we will — are not going to look kindly upon people who facilitated authoritarianism in our country.”
Yes, that totally sounds like a non-authoritarian position. pic.twitter.com/u7Ez26rnyV
