24 DAILY NEWS – The White House Correspondents’ Dinner last weekend was marked by an alarming event: the third failed assassination attempt against President Donald Trump. Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who was present at the dinner, compared the atmosphere to the chaos on January 6, 2021, stating that “everybody was afraid that somebody had come in with an AR-15.”

This week on the podcast, host Akela Lacy engages with Raskin regarding his experiences at the dinner and a subsequent conversation with CNN’s Dana Bash. Raskin expressed his dismay at Bash’s attempt to draw parallels between the rhetoric of Democrats and that of Trump, noting, “He calls people crazy, insane… But we try to keep it at the level of policies and their actions.” Raskin is currently leading an investigation into Jared Kushner’s role during the Trump administration amid accusations of conflicts of interest and other political matters.
