Newsweek has asked Jamie Raskin's office for comment.
REPRESENTATIVE RASKIN SON DEATH TRIAL
"I was forced to galvanize all of my love for Tommy and my daughters, Hannah and Tabitha, and my wife, Sarah, and our family and our country, and to throw myself into the trial to make the case that Donald Trump had incited this violent insurrection in an effort to overthrow the 2020 presidential election," Raskin said. He discussed how he took up the role as House impeachment manager for then President Donald Trump's second impeachment not long after Tommy died. Raskin, who represents Maryland's 8th district, spoke about his son's death in an interview with NPR in January.
Gaetz appeared to be referring to how Raskin will act when the televised hearings of the Select Committee begin on Thursday.

But I think that he takes that trauma and he associates it now with his work in the Congress to such an interwoven way that he's unable to do the congressional experience outside of just the dungeon of that personal trauma," the Republican went on. "As a human being, our hearts go out to him.
And what I worry about for the Congress and for Jamie Raskin, you know, no one would ever want to lose a child, particularly to suicide," Gaetz said. "What I worry about with Raskin, in all seriousness-when people encounter trauma, they often associate a lot of the other things around that trauma with it, even if they don't naturally or even rationally associate.
Gaetz has suggested Raskin is "unable" to do his job due to his son's death.
