White House Slams Raskin Over His Latest 25th Amendment Scheme: ‘Stupid Person’s Idea of a Smart Person’

The White House hammered Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD-8) after the House Judiciary Committee ranking member and fellow Democrats unveiled legislation to create a 17-member commission of physicians, psychiatrists, and former executive officials to evaluate President Trump’s mental and physical capacity to serve under the 25th Amendment.
They really, really want you to forget that we are less than two years removed from the party wanting you to believe that Joe Biden, whose grey matter had been predominantly replaced by porridge at that point, was perfectly capable of serving another four years in the Oval Office.
Trump, on the other hand, is unfit for duty. Why? If you ask Raskin, it's because he threatened the terrorist regime of Iran, conducted the most effective military operation the world has ever seen, oh, and because he posted a silly meme.
(Don't even get me started on that one. Catholic nuns are being threatened with jail time in New York because they refuse to use made-up pronouns, and we've now seen evidence that the previous DOJ explicitly weaponized federal law against pro-life activists, but I'm supposed to be uber-mad that the guy who posts provocative memes on a daily basis posted something a little off-color. Please. He took it down. He explained himself. Get your head back in the game.)
