I want to take a moment to clear a few things up and address you one last time, simply because I have nothing to hide. I’ve always spoken from what I believed to be true. I never intentionally misrepresented anything. That includes the campaign. When I said I wasn’t working on it, I wasn’t. I hadn’t even interviewed yet. The reality is that your “exposure” brought to light that I had been intentionally misled about matters involving my family, which I believe was tied to financial incentives to keep me supporting households beyond my own. Realizing that people you trusted misled you in ways that directly affect your livelihood is not just painful and embarrassing, it’s deeply personal. It’s also not something I ever intended to address publicly, out of respect for my parents and the children in my family who have nothing to do with this. At the end of the day, I know I’ve acted in good faith and told the truth as I understood it. God knows my intentions were pure and my heart was honest, and that’s what matters to me. “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” You did not know that I was blind to those things when you posted them. You thought you were pursuing the truth. I just hope next time you dig into someone else’s personal life you do so without such a pessimistic and opportunistic heart. Anyone who has worked to break generational cycles and build a life beyond what they were conditioned to accept understands how difficult it is to confront the truth. It requires facing not only your own reality, but the weight of flawed family dynamics as you begin to move beyond them. I’m grateful to live in a country where your past doesn’t have to define your future, and my focus is on ensuring my children never have to carry the same burdens I did.

Melissa Hortman was killed by a Democratic appointee who thought he was acting on the orders of Gov. Tim Walz (D) to advance Walz’s career. Her murder was condemned by everyone. The first person to “allegedly” (?) take a shot at Trump donated to a left-wing group the day Joe Biden was inaugurated. It’s notable that his two counter-examples of right-wing political violence actually...aren’t. This is not to say leftists have a monopoly on political violence. They do not — though in recent years, they’ve been far more problematic on this front, especially when it comes to glorifying, celebrating and justifying political violence. It is, however, to say that he’s a very dishonest person & that we are indeed confronting a leftist-driven political violence problem in America right now.

BASH: You and your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric against the president. Do you think twice about that when something like that happens? RASKIN: What rhetoric do you have in mind? BASH: That he's terrible for this country and so on and so forth
