I do feel genuinely sorry for Rand. But no more so than for the police officers who had to contend with the mob on January 6.

Rand Paul seems to get "attacked" often

The tolerant left is especially tolerant of violence against Rand

When a suspicious package filled with white powder showed up at his house in Kentucky on Monday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said he knew exactly who was to blame for inspiring the threat: pop singer Richard Marx.

Paul pointed to a Sunday tweet in which the singer behind hits like “Don’t Mean Nothing” and “Endless Summer Nights” said he would buy drinks for Paul’s neighbor, who broke several of the senator’s ribs in a 2017 attack. The intent, Paul argued, was to incite another violent attack against him.

“As a repeated target of violence, it is reprehensible that Twitter allows C-list celebrities to encourage violence against me and my family,” Paul said in a statement shared with Politico, which broke the news of the suspicious package. “Just this weekend Richard Marx called for violence against me and now we receive this powder filled letter.”

I agree with Rand that Mr. Marx (great name eh?) should not be making comments like that. Crazy people hear them and act on them.

Words do matter.

When a president offers to pay the legal bills of anyone who roughs up a reporter or someone he doesn't like, those words matter.

When a president gives a speech to a group of police officers and tells them its ok to be rough with suspects, those words matter.

And when a president incites a mob and offers to march on the Capitol with them to take back our country, those words matter too.

We still don't know what the white powder was, do we ?

Rand is the face of white male victimhood.
Doesn't it strike you odd that out of 535 members of Congress a Jr Senator from a taker state that has passed no legislation and brings little to nothing to the table is constantly the target.

Rand Paul is a dick. My experience in life is this is how life treats people that act like dicks.

I dont wish him ill, I just wish he and his smug little act went away

[sturg33]

Un huh

[57Brave]

as of 1:30. A report filed at 4:30 yesterday was still a "suspicious package"

jump to conclusions much ?

[sturg33]

Its fine you're on the defense of assaulting your political enemies. Just own it.

If more people listened to him they wouldn't look like such fools about many things

[57Brave]

Oh, waiting for the facts before drawing conclusions is "defending"

That is lynch mob {mentality} ( I guess morality too)
Like in old TV westerns

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A suspicious package sent to the Kentucky home of Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul appears to contain a non-toxic substance, the local sheriff’s office said.
//////////////////

Pretty sure post 9/11 when there were numerous anthrax packages there is a screening process in place for all high profile government officials.
I would think US Senators would fall under those protocols.
//////

Rand is a whiney little attention whore.
But to his credit ?
He isn't an ideologue

////

seriously though, moving forward it is these types of reckless accusations that could get someone injured if not killed
Anthrax in the mail is a very serious and not some form of attention seeking political ploy.
The same with being accosted by a mob, when one is in fact walking down a street seeking confrontation.
In that case we can be pretty sure, there was a security detail in tow

Just more evidence about why you just know his neighbor was in the right

[thethe]

Ccp virus is a big deal unless you are an illegal immigrants just because you can’t see obvious things doesn’t make them untrue.

[Jaw]

Just more evidence about why you just know his neighbor was in the right

I mean, it's a fact that Covid positive kids are crossing the border, and that they're being transported to other areas, and that a Democrat is in the role to set and change that policy. He used inflammatory language to make the accurate statement, but it wasn't inaccurate.

[sturg33]

Rand Paul is a national treasure

[sturg33]

BTW I thought violence against congress was an attack on democracy or an attempted coup lol

[nsacpi]

Next time Fauci and Rand meet up they can commiserate about the various suspicious packages and other threats they have both received.

Rand Paul is a national treasure

Dude, I know you don't mean that. Ron maybe, but Rand flip flops more than John Kerry ever did. You're just having fun pissing on the Dems, right?
