Trump calls for Raskin’s ouster over impeachment efforts: ‘EXPEL THE BUM’

Published Updated



President Donald Trump called for the expulsion of Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) from Congress on Thursday night, claiming that there is a known plot by the Democratic congressman to engage in impeachment proceedings should the Democrats win control of the House of Representatives in November. Trump referenced a social media post by political commentator Mark Levin accusing Raskin of being part of the impeachment scheme. Trump suggested Congress should “expel the bum.”

“Jamie Raskin, a Loser in Life, who worked endlessly during my First Term to impeach me, and failed miserably, wasting the Country’s money, time, and effort, will guaranteed be trying to do it again, despite one of the most successful Presidencies in History,” Trump said in a post to his Truth Social account.
