“I wrote ‘Unthinkable’ as a way to make sense of two traumatic events in my life," Raskin, 58, said in a statement Wednesday. The book is called “Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trials of American Democracy,” which Harper will publish Jan. 6 siege of the Capitol and the tragedy he suffered a week earlier when his 25-year-old son Tommy killed himself. Jamie Raskin of Maryland is working on a memoir in which he will reflect on the Jan. 6 Committee hearings.Īs a side note – the hearings today revealed that Gaetz was one of the Republican politicians who had sought a pardon from Trump. Just in case – I guess.NEW YORK (AP) - U.S. Like I said, it is a reminder of what happened and correlates amazingly well with the review described by the Jan. The book I describe is well written and a good summary of the events we all have experienced and continue to deal with. Disinformation is accepted and embraced and refutations are ignored. False claims linger in the minds of true believers supported by those who they rely on for acceptance and information sharing. I have long been baffled by the staunch Republicans who embraced Trump despite the obvious character flaws and atrocious and self-aggrandizing behavior.
Raskin describes the frustration of dealing with such frequently shared conspiracies and the challenge of convincing the public that so much of what they have heard was false but is out there circulating among true believers who tend to engage little with real news sources and want to believe what they encounter elsewhere. Second, within 24 hours, the claim also appeared online more than 400,000 times as determined by NPR. First, the claim was a complete fabrication. Raskin offers this story to make a point. Of course because of recent events, this claim is picked up by most news services.

6 insurrection claiming that facial recognition software had identified ANTIFA operatives among those attacking Capitol. After offering sympathetic comments to Raskin, Gaetz launches into comments irrelevant to the issue associated with Pennsylvania. Raskin had been speaking and was followed by Republican Max Gaetz.
The politicians are going through any state challenges to the election results and are considering the final challenge related to the acceptance of Pennsylvania delegates.
Raskin describes the final deliberations before the reassembled politicians certify the results of the election. The incident I relay seems to replicated with variations many times. One episode from the book offers an example I found exemplary of the problem of Republic indifference to the fraudulent behavior of the denial of the Biden victory and acceptance of Trump behavior. The book and the hearings compliment each other to a remarkable degree and lead me to believe most of what has been presented to the public in the hearings has been common knowledge in Washington for some time. I have been waiting for library access to this book for at least 6 months and now am experiencing the book at the same time I am watching the Jan. 5 and experienced the attack on the Capitol on Jan. Raskin weaves together two themes – his experiences related to the suicide of his adult son and the Jan.
I have been working on the book by Representative Jamie Raskin ( Unthinkable).
