Jamie Raskin: “I know they talk about the deranged Trump syndrome. Now they are talking about the deranged Musk syndrome. I do know…”

On the recordFebruary 12, 2025
I know they talk about the deranged Trump syndrome. Now they are talking about the deranged Musk syndrome. I do know that Steve Bannon has described him as a truly evil individual, so I understand that there are major conflicts emerging over there. In any event, back to the merits of the bill. I have to adjudicate the merits of this bill by the lack of coherence and energy and passion with which my normally passionate and eloquent colleague is operating today. One can barely torture out an argument from everything he is saying for the bill, and I noticed there is no one left on his side who wants to be associated with it in any way. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Jacobs), my colleague.
