"Extremist Ideology": Rep. Raskin on Trump-Backed Dan Cox's Victory in GOP Gov. Primary in Maryland
We speak to Maryland Democratic Congressmember Jamie Raskin, member of the House January 6 select committee, about the pro-Trump Republican who won Tuesday's gubernatorial primary in the state and helped organized buses to the insurrection. Dan Cox is the latest in a slate of Republicans across the U.S. to advance in the party after supporting Trump's election lies. If elected, Cox has vowed to conduct a forensic audit of the 2020 election. He also wants to ban abortion in Maryland and end what he describes as sexual indoctrination" in schools. He obviously speaks to an extreme-right faction in our state that has swallowed Trumpist indoctrination," says Raskin. You could not have a purer distillation of dangerous extremist ideology than what is propounded by Dan Cox."
