The New Yorker Radio Hour is a co-production of WNYC and the New Yorker. Welcome to the New Yorker Radio Hour. I'm David Remnick. A complaint that you often hear about democrats, even from their own supporters. Is that they're not tough enough. They're not fighters.
And if that criticism has any merit Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin is an exception. And one that proves the rule. He's been combative and relentless in his role as ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee.
