Rep. Raskin sounds alarm on extensive "target list" from Trump's "secretary of retribution" [1]
['Carla Sinclair']
Date: 2024-07-11
Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland is sounding the alarm on an extensive "Deep State target list" that Donald Trump's self-proclaimed "secretary of retribution" has compiled.
Hoping to enlist "constitutional" sheriffs to arrest anti-Trumpers — including journalists, politicians, former U.S. Capitol Police employees, and their families — MAGA's retired Army Reserve Ivan Raiklin has created a list of 350 people to target, according to Raw Story. And he envisions "live-streamed swatting raids" as part of the process.
"This is a deadly serious report," Raskin told Raw Story. "A retired U.S. military officer has drawn up a 'Deep State target list' of public officials he considers traitors, along with our family members and staff. His hit list is a vigilante death warrant for hundreds of Americans and a clear and present danger to the survival of American democracy and freedom."
Raskin has also called on Speaker Mike Johnson and Rep. Chuck Schumer to "denounce this dangerous plot and to repudiate threats of, and planning for, political violence from any quarter. Bipartisan opposition to vigilante violence and assassination plots is essential for American government to continue."
Raiklin's hit list follows Trump's remarks of being a "retribution" candidate who will round up Democrats — and Liz Cheney "for her crimes."
