Rand Paul calls for FBI arrests after he’s confronted by protesters – claims they ‘would have killed us’ if not for cops

Published 3 mins ago on August 28, 2020

.........................................

Sen. Paul says he and his wife left the White House and at some point instead of taking a shuttle they decided to walk several blocks to their hotel.


Later, he went on “Fox & Friends,” which told viewers based on the videos it was more like about 30 people, not 100.

Paul, who all by himself for months has been holding up Senate passage of the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act – which already passed the House almost unanimously, 410-4 on February 26 – claims he and his wife could have been killed.

“They were inciting a riot and they would have killed us had the police not been there,” Paul told Fox News.

He knows what he has done to those very people, and he knows what they SHOULD do if they only understood the enormity of the damage he has done to them.

In that sense, his fear was justified.

He was confronted by constituents. Americans who he is supposed to represent and be accountable to. These Senators hide and are unreachable. They should all start to understand that their job is to listen and speak with the people they represent.

I don’t condone any violent interactions. Period. But it is high time these politicians are confronted and if they won’t do it in their offices, then they should expect it on the streets.

by @ least 6 really big cops at all time, and was never touched once.

Angry mobs of white Men and women have actually attacked and killed black Americans. By “lynching”, that you, the only senator that refuses to outlaw, siting, maybe in some cases it’s acceptable. So shut your Whitney little white ass and be thankful you are not black and an angry white mob came to actually kill you, with police support as they did in history, not protect. Fuck you little Whiney bitch, lets do a go fund me for his neighbors re-enactment of the last ass whopping. You treasonous Confederates love re-enactments of murder.
