Ignorant armies clash by night

Rand Paul calls for FBI arrests, investigation into 'mob' he believes 'would have killed us,' if not for police

He called them idiots in the long video.

Paul was trying to get to his hotel across the street from the White House, but it was blocked by protesters, so he said the Secret Service instructed him, his wife, Kelley, and two female friends to get on a bus, which took 45 minutes to get through all the mobs, and then he planned to get an Uber to get dropped off at the hotel, but the streets were blocked and no one would let them through.

"They were shouting threats to us, to kill us, to hurt us, but also threats saying shout, shouting 'say her name,' Breonna Taylor, and it's like you couldn't reason with this mob, but I'm actually the author of the Breonna Taylor law to end no-knock raids, so the irony is lost on these idiots that they're trying to kill the person who's actually trying to get rid of no-knock raids," he said.

Paul said he's authored 22 criminal justice reforms with President Trump and former President Barack Obama, but the demonstrators were still yelling: "We're not going to let you go alive unless you'll say you're for criminal justice reform."

He spun the whole thing into an anti-Democratic tirade and a blast at Biden and Harris.

He invented a conspiracy theory on the spot.

Off in a world of his own

Rand Paul says GOP lunch was like meeting with 'Bernie Bros,' blasts party on spending

Rand Paul says there's 'no place' for federal agents 'rounding people up at will' in Portland

Lockdowns were 'big mistake,' crippled economy and haven't 'done much' to curb COVID-19: Rand Paul

GOP says one trillion, Dems say three. White House opposes both on sticking it to Social Security and Medicare financing.

White House doubles down on payroll-tax cut opposed by GOP senators

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told reporters Tuesday that President Trump is committed to including a payroll-tax cut in the next coronavirus relief bill despite firm opposition from Senate Republicans.

This is the tax that pays for Social Security and Medicare that Trump tried unsuccessfully to gut in an earlier round of virus relief.

The GOP is refusing money to help states and municipalities pay for virus related expenses, money crucial to New York, New Jersey, and others.

The GOP says the deficits faced by those states are not caused by virus expenses but by public employee pensions and other worker friendly things blue states provide and red states don't.

The solution is to dump all that worker friendly blue state crap, in their view.

Meanwhile, Rand Paul is opposed to any additional federal bailout money.
