U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin was one of the headliners at the Gaithersburg Book Festival on Saturday. He spoke about his book, Unthinkable, which chronicles the congressman’s “despair and survival” facing “two impossible traumas,” the death by suicide of his son Tommy and the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.
MyMCM was there to cover the event. Here is Raskin’s talk including a question and answer period with attendees in its entirety.
