bottomofthehill's JournalHugo Lowell on MSNBC
Each time I see this young reporter speak I am amazed. He is now 23 years old. He started reporting on the insurrection as a 22 year old kid. He has great contacts, writes well and has amazing poise on TV. At 22 I was an asshole and at 23 not much better. This young reporter continues to impress me each time I see him or read his articles. I subscribed to the Guardian to read his work.
House GOP did not tell Raskin to remove head covering
This is just one reason that Twitter Sucks. The lie spreads quickly.
In a Tuesday tweet, Punchbowl News reporter Heather Caygle wrote that Raskin had received a standing ovation in a House Democratic Caucus meeting after saying he’d push back on Republican efforts to make him remove his headwear. “And I will make them take off their toupees,” Caygle quoted Raskin as saying.
Jacob Wilson, a spokesperson for Raskin, told the AP in an email that Raskin “was responding lightheartedly to a hypothetical question from a colleague” at the caucus meeting. According to Caygle’s tweet, he was asked “what he would do if Republicans made him take off his headwear on the House floor.”
Caygle clarified in a follow-up tweet that Raskin said no House Republicans have spoken to him about hat rules. Caygle declined further comment when reached by email. Wilson said the Democrat “has received nothing but support and encouragement from all of his colleagues and leaders on both sides of the aisle.”
