Rand Paul Accosted after RNC
« on: August 28, 2020, 12:51:59 PM »
Rand Paul and his wife were accosted while leaving the RNC on the way back to their hotel across the street.  The whole thing was live-streamed.  Apparently, there was a mob outside the convention threatening many of the attendees.

You mean Rand Paul savagely attacked those peaceful for justice protesters. Bet he even crossed state lines.  :O

Only fair. It was just like the conservative mobs at the DNC convention. Oh, wait...

At least the capitol police responded fairly quick.  surprised they couldn't keep that block clear.

Just to add a couple more:

Then I don't know who this guy is, but he's apparently somebody that started a gay conservative movement and the party of tolerance and gayz attacked him.

Trump focusing on this stuff is exactly the right thing for him to do, strategy-wise. In the end, I have to believe that most Americans hate bullies.

Those people are idiots.  Rand Paul is actually on their side of this issue (no knock warrants) and they are too stupid to realize it.

How much media attention did the guillotine at the White House a few nights ago with the protester using it on a dummy of Trump get?
Now imagine the media coverage if Obama was in the WH at the time.

Don't forget The March on Washington is coming up.

He's my senator
 
If they weren't idiots maybe they would have figured out by now that burning and looting isn't making their neighborhoods any nicer. No, they would be going after the criminals, politicians, and the media types responsible for this mess instead.

It's not really centered on homosexuals or conservatives.

I think we probably talked about him a couple of years ago.
