House Oversight Committee chair James Comer on Friday slammed Rep. Jamie Raskin for being a “two-time election denier.”

“Ranking member Raskin is the ultimate hypocrite,” Comer told Fox News. “He talks a big game about ‘saving democracy’ yet actively undermines it by sowing seeds of doubt in America’s free and fair elections when it benefits him to do so. [He’s a] a two-time election denier.”

“[He] suggested the 2000 election was illegitimate and didn’t certify election results when Trump won the White House in 2016. Now ranking member Raskin is signaling he’d do the same if Trump wins again in November. Raskin doesn’t care at all about democracy. He only cares about putting a Democrat in the White House whatever the cost,” Comer added.

The fierce remarks came a day after Axios ran a bombshell report revealing that a number of top Democrats, including Raskin, are refusing to 100 percent commit to certifying former President Donald Trump’s victory if he succeeds in the 2024 presidential race.

Raskin, who reportedly objected to Trump electors in 2017, told Axios that if the former president “won a free, fair and honest election, then we would obviously accept it.”

But, he cautioned, he “definitely” isn’t assuming that Trump will win fairly and freely.

“[Trump] is doing whatever he can to try to interfere with the process, whether we’re talking about manipulating electoral college counts in Nebraska or manipulating the vote count in Georgia or imposing other kinds of impediments,” Raskin said without providing any evidence.

Other Democrats were just as undemocratic in their complaints.

“I don’t know what kind of shenanigans he is planning,” Rep. Jan Schakowsky, who reportedly objected to former President George W. Bush’s 2005 win, said. “We would have to, in any election … make sure that all the rules have been followed.”

Uh-huh…

House Rules Committee ranking member Jim McGovern, meanwhile, warned that Democrats will vote to certify a Trump win only if “everything goes the way we expect it to.”

“We have to see how it all happens,” he said.

Speaking with Fox News, Rep. Elise Stefanik also slammed Democrats over their election denialism.

“After years of the radical left’s stenographers in the mainstream media, corporate special interest groups and radical Democrats viciously smearing President Trump and Republicans for standing up for election integrity, now 24 days until Election Day, far left Democrats are claiming that a President Trump victory would be illegitimate, and the mainstream media remains silent,” she said.

Raskin, for his part, didn’t take kindly to being slammed.

“The Democratic Party is a party of democracy and the rule of law,” he said in a statement to Fox News. “We stand by both. Trump and his followers have tried to use fraud, deceit, lies, coercion, trickery, voter suppression and mass insurrectionary violence to seize power against the rules of our constitutional order.”

“I will never back down from defending American constitutional democracy against their big lies, political coups and violent insurrections. And I certainly won’t get into the mud with Chairman Comer and call him a hypocrite because that would imply he has some principles and ideals to betray,” he added.

Are these fair criticisms of Democrats given as Dems have vowed to certify the election results if the election is “fair”? Yes! The reason why is because of how Democrats responded when House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, said the exact same thing last month.

“Well, of course — if we have a free, fair and safe election, we’re going to follow the Constitution,” he said when asked whether Republicans would certify an election win for Vice President Kamala Harris. “Absolutely. Yes. Absolutely.”

Listen:

In response, Dems lost their ever-loving minds.

“When he says things like he did today … it causes great concern,” House Administration Committee ranking member Joe Morelle told Axios at the time. “[Democrats are] getting very anxious about it.”

New Democrat Coalition chair Annie Kuster (D-N.H.) added that the speaker was “speaking in code” and “trying to undermine confidence in the election system.”

But if that’s the case, then what the hell were Democrats like Raskin doing when they said the same thing about certifying a victory for Trump!?
