Jamie Raskin: GOP "fit only for selling flowers at the airport" - The Contrarian
Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) joins The Contrarian’s Jennifer Rubin in Washington, D.C. for a high-stakes interview at the Stand Up For Science rally (March 7, 2026). From the "war on science" to the skyrocketing 35% oil prices and the threat of ground troops in Iran, Raskin breaks down the chaos of the current "Regime of Lies."
In this conversation, Raskin delivers an iconic political insult, predicting that certain GOP colleagues will soon be "fit only for selling flowers at the airport" once the "nightmare" ends. Raskin wades into the psychology of religious cults to explain the current state of the Republican party and shares why he believes the American people are winning the fight for the Constitution in the streets, in the courts, and in Congress. - 03/08/2026.
