Self-unaware Dem Rep. Jamie Raskin describes why he's a 'fascist' (by his own definition)

Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin continues to promote the January 6th Commission and of course MSNBC is more than happy to help out with that. During Raskin’s appearance on Chris Hayes’ show the amount of projection and self-unawareness on display was incredible:

Raskin: "We know the hallmarks of fascist political parties are a cult of authoritarian personality, based on a charismatic figure, a refusal to accept the results of democratic elections when they don’t go their way, and then, a refusal to disavow political violence"

— Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) October 8, 2022

And of course Chris Hayes sat there and let all that pass on by unchallenged. Apparently it’s way too much for interviewers to ask Raskin about things like this:

I'd note that by his own definition, @jamie_raskin is himself a "fascist" since a) he tried to subvert the 2016 election, b) he was an Obama/Hillary worshipper, c) he has refused to disavow left-wing political violence in America

Here’s Raskin doing the “fascist” thing by his own definition:

As usual, questioning election results is perfectly acceptable but only if a Democrat does it. If the other side does the same thing it’s “fascism.”
