Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin to speak at Montgomery County Juneteenth event


Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin (D - 8th District) will be the headlining speaker at what is shaping up to be the biggest Juneteenth event in Montgomery County for Monday, June 19, 2023. The Bethesda African Cemetery Coalition's Juneteenth Observance event will be held by the site of the desecrated Moses African Cemetery, next to 5214 River Road in Bethesda (behind the McDonald's), from 2:00 - 5:00 PM on Monday. Raskin will be the first U.S. Congressperson to personally visit the cemetery site. BACC representatives have sought Raskin's support for the cemetery cause, so his remarks on Monday will be heard with great interest.

Also appearing at the event will be Maryland Delegate Lorig Charkoudian (D - District 20), historian and author C.R. Gibbs, and Harvey Matthews, an official with Macedonian Baptist Church and a former resident of the lost African-American community that existed for about a century on River Road in Bethesda. The performing talents of Evergreen Productions and the Walt Whitman Drumline will be on display at this very special commemoration of Black history in Bethesda.

Pandering hypocrite. He went into the SKIF, saw the evidence on Brandon's bribery and then came out referring an earlier non-evidenced report saying there's nothing there. Documentation, actual recordings and damming whistleblower testimony mean nothing to democrats protecting their own power.

Raskin is the poster child for what's wrong in this country.

@6:17AM Why do you believe and repeat transparently false allegations? And slander a patriot like Jamie Raskin? You need to get out of your current news-source bubble, it is feeding you a toxic stew of lies.

6:17 fabricating nonsense and pretending there are conspiracies everywhere.

He introduced "a resolution to establish May 4th as a National Day of Reason to celebrate science, common sense and logic as essential preconditions for progress in our government and society. This day will oppose the culture of surging political extremism and a new digital landscape rife with propaganda and disinformation"

Raskins entire political carrier is made up of propaganda and disinformation and when proven wrong on Russian collusion and J6 via the Twitter files. He continues to gaslight instead of taking responsibility for lying.

To a democrat, the words slander and patriot must have a very different definition than the accepted one. But to be expected when their news comes from comedy central and the view.

You do realize that Russian collusion was a hoax and that Star Wars was a movie? Probably not.

Saving the democracy by using the DOJ/IRS, (and now Project 65), to silence opinions democrats disagree with?

When the president of a 3rd world country calls the USA a banana republic for trying to jail a political rival for the same, (and frankly more agregious), crimes they themselves are guilty of, it's time to look in the mirror.

Is Hunter’s laptop still Russian disinformation? Moonbat liberals still think so.

@9:14 Hey Jamie, did your wife ever come clean about her connections regarding her work at Reserve Trust? The nonbank fintech company is the only one of its kind to have received special access to the Fed's payment system – an occurrence that happened when Sarah Bloom Raskin served as the company's director after she left Treasury.

Seems pretty incestuous and always illegal if a Republican does it but it's good to be a Democrat.

Patriot? Raskin? Man, those are some good drugs you are taking, 9:14. And I guess mum's the word on his corrupt wife as well?

@9:14

Any thoughts? Or will you cower away much like all Democrats do when their doctrine of 'thought' is questioned?

Reskin should be in jail along with hilary Obama and Biden
Corrupt to the core

@5:31 you equate "science, common sense and logic" with disinformation. Who's gaslighting?

@6:29 "Russia, if you're listening..." "...collusion with you was a hoax, okay???"

@6:40 - you quote the president of a "third world country." Trump had a name for those, didn't he? what was it again?

@11:33am you resort to an ad hominem attack because you can't defend your position. sad.

As usual the leftist apologists come out of the cracks to scream "disinformation" because MSM doesn't cover any news that might be detrimental to the liberals in charge. Never mind the obvious order-of-magnitude increases in crime, homelessness, inflation and illegal border crossings. I get it, CNN doesn't cover it so it never happened. Even funnier that the retort is one-line commentary with no actual arguments. The View runs strong here.

7:22, (7:20/21/26 are all the same teen-age Raskin staffer), is a perfect example of a liberal moonbat who can't understand why a government official making policy favoring a private entity, leaving that "public service" post to become a highly paid employee of that company. Study civics before you graduate HS and perhaps you'll understand.

@9:14 Do you actually have any factual support to justify the grifting done by Raskins wife or just bloviating about how democrats can do no wrong and that everything bad in your life is Trump's fault.

Unfortunately for liberals, there is not enough imagination in the universe to hide Brandon's record from the dismal failure that everyone can see. Those blinders must help you sleep at night.
