Rep. Raskin Shares Powerful Tribute After Loss Of Son Tommy | NBC Nightly News
LOL fantastic news!
Raskin had numerous times which he slandered the police, the president, other Congress members and now you want people to believe your fair. Blah. ðŸ¤â€Â
Using your sons death in this manner, to further a case against Trump, is despicable & rotten to the core. Disgusting!
Not one comment here talks about what is actually going on, this is about a sham impeachment and same old tricks by the Dems bait and switch, he lied about the number of people who died that day it was one not seven and he showed an edited video.
I am so sorry for your loss. You as parents, done a great job and your son didn't want to harm others in his pain.
This fascist coward hasn't seen anything yet! You pull a coup on the American people, you deserve everything you get.
I'm depressed about a rigged election.
Could it be that when you live a life to do things, you need purpose, meaning, a hope for a way out when you are not well for any sort of sickness, a true light, not fluffy words. What about when you or those you love are flagrantly going against God? Hope is a beautiful thing, a banner that withholds all storms. Love, faith and hope. Beautiful!! Love, that He’s with us always and we with Him, Hope that there is something with living for, holding to and faith that we know, know full well that we will see His promises come to pass here or in heaven.
I'm so sorry. I'm just so sorry. I know what it is to fear for your child knowing there is nothing you can do other than love them. I'm truly sorry. Beth
HE KNOWS HIS FATHER IS EVIL. HE CANNOT STOMACH HIM. I WOULD HAVE DID THE SAME THING IF THAT WERE MY FATHER. SO EVIL THAT HE BLAMES IT TO "DISEASE". WHICH DEMS ARE EXPERT IN DOING – BLAME IT TO OTHERS OR SOMETHING ELSE. NO SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY.
Bet some shrink gave him psych drugs.🛑🚫
Rest in peace Tommy. You were too pure for this world
What a sweetheart!!!!!!!!!!!! He was a year above me at Amherst. I had no idea he was so wonderful. God bless him <3

= This is the people really fighting for their president, fighting for their honor, fighting for the honor of the state and in fact for the future of their children…, after all, it is clear to any person that the Democrats ONLY violated the law, only by meanness and DECEPTION pushed completely like a zombie INADEQUATE Biden for president of the United States ..!!! = …Not having honor and conscience, the ZOMBIE-Democrats pushed into the US president in fact IT is a brainless ZOMBIE-doll, that would be for the picture Biden-DOLL sat, or lay, and on injections-sometimes as a living even opened his mouth…, and in the meantime, vile, terribly thievish, greedy and godlessly lying Democrats, on behalf of a completely inadequate Biden will rob great AMERICA..!!!
I read their entire tribute shared by Sen. Raskin's colleagues on Twitter. It was really beautiful.

What a beautiful tribute to your son. Thank you so muxh for describing his illness publicly. Depression has a strong hand in my family as well. It can be a lifetime struggle, one with a fatality rate higher than most. Bless all that loved him. Peace.
And depression IS a disease. He fought well, this makes him a hero, that he could no longer take it does not make him a looser
Your son was under a severe attack, from the kingdom of darkness, a warfare that he was unprepared for… YOUR FAMILY IS IN MY PRAYERS âœÂÂï¸ÂÂâ¤ï¸ÂÂðŸ›ÂÂ
I look forward to meeting your son, IN HEAVEN!!!âœÂÂï¸ÂÂâ¤ï¸ÂÂðŸ›ÂÂ😀🥰😇
📖ðŸâ€â€Ã‚¡Ã¯Â¸ÂÂ🌈🎯WE ARE VERY SOON NOW, to stand before THE JUDGMENT Throne of the 1 and ONLY TRUE, LIVING, CREATOR GOD, The GOD WHO sent HIS only begotten SON, Jesus, Who WE nailed to a tree.
HE hung there and said, FATHER, FORGIVE THEM, for they KNOW NOT what they do…
BUT, there ARE âž¡ï¸ÂÂMANY, who DO âž¡ï¸ÂÂKNOW EXACTLY, what they're doing and they WILL have to answer for it, IN THE JUDGMENT of THE 1 & ONLY TRUE, LIVING, CREATOR GOD!!!
THEN, GOD WILL change things PERMANENTLY, FOR ALL ETERNITY, and it WILL BE, for the FIRST and ONLY TIME, SINCE THE FALL in The Garden of Eden, BE, FAIR and JUSTICE WILL REIGN, in LOVE, on the NEW EARTH, FOREVER!!!âœÂÂï¸ÂÂâ¤ï¸ÂÂðŸ›ÂÂ😀🥰😇
I hope this fine young man's passing can help other families in their struggles with depression and other mental illnesses. My condolences to Rep. Raskin and family.
I feel your pain.Sorry for ur Loss of Tommy….Great Spirit. GOD WILL take care of Him NOW. Peace be with your. Tommy is Awesome he have. Angel Wings NOW.

Heart breaking. Deepest condolences to the Raskin family. 😢
My heart breaks for you…
It is better to celebrate his life than to mourn his death… Or find a somewhere in between.
He walks with angels…
Heartbreaking. We MUST have M4A.
Omg ðŸ˜ÂÂðŸ˜ÂÂðŸ˜ÂÂ😆forever â¤ï¸ÂÂ, rest in peace.
God bless you Tommy.

LOVE CAN DO AMAZING THINGS WHEN YOU FIND IT BUT YOU YOU NEED TO ASK FOR HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT!
BE SAFEâ¤â¤â¤💙💜💜💜
Depression SUCKS!! RIP Tommy! ♥ï¸ÂÂ
May he Rest In Peace
So sorry to hear this. May his memory be a blessing.
A horrible way to lose your son, I have gone through the same thing. May you carry on his generosity, laughter and love.
I have mental and physical pain for 40yrs now and I find THC helps will all ailments.
What "broken world"? The only thing broken is the democrats and medias trust among the people.
5 years ago I lost my partner of 19 years who was tortured with depression and no-polar schizo affected disorder. His demons finally won. I found that most at risk were thought to be so aware that Suicide couldn’t happen. My shared sorrow to the Raskins & all those who knew Tommy.
In order to heal the ravages of suicidal depression, one can't face one's demons alone. It can't be done without the surrender to a higher power. Lots of loving support from others is an important first step but ultimately one has to muster the courage to know the unknowable and that takes relentless work on one's self and one's relationships. Pills from a bottle are OK for worst-case episodes, but for true growth, it takes a genuine commitment to battle one's self practically as well as spiritually. The two are inseparable.
Prayers for the family and friends during this difficult time.
