Senate Homeland Security Committee Chair Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says he “saw no evidence” to back the claims of senior Trump administration officials that Alex Pretti was attempting to assault law enforcement officers and instead “saw a man that was retreating” when he was shot and killed by federal officers in Minneapolis.
“I saw no evidence — I saw a man that was retreating. He went to the middle of the street, he didn’t even obstruct traffic, he let a car go through. As the agents advanced on him, he retreated to the side of the street. A woman is violently pushed to the ground and he turns to help her and that’s when he is grabbed from behind,” Paul told Scott Pelley on CBS’s “60 Minutes.”
“I saw no evidence of him assaulting the police,” Paul said, contradicting Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who called Pretti a “domestic terrorist” and claimed he wanted to “inflict maximum damage on individuals and kill law enforcement.”

What an absolute asshole

Then he’s blind.
Are you surprised?
I hate this guy. He’s a Democrat.
Im waiting for him to comment on the murder of Ashlii Babbitt, remember her because I do and I dont remember Rand Paul ever mentioning her name she was murdered, NO weapon, didnt do ANYTHING illegal and she was shot in cold blood and her killer given a freakin MEDAL
Rand Paul is a never Trumper, we all must just accept it and stop getting ticked off about it. It’s just not surprising when he defends terrorist, drug kingpins, or huma trafficers because ‘orange man bad’ anymore.
Rand Paul must be on drugs.
I didn’t see any “yard rage” either when you got your ass beat while doing yard work.
Going where plenty of stupid has gone before. The fall of Rand Paul is complete. I used to like this guy, what the hell happened to him?
The chief diva of the Republican Party just has to sing an aria every time an important law or ruling to let us know he is still relevant ... which he isn’t.
I wish there was a strong popular conservative who would primary him next time around.
Yep Paul has morphed into back stabbing traitor. The last thing we needed was a “Republican” getting in front of a camera and saying this BS so that is what he did. F him.
Put HIM in charge and make him go to every incident and get his OK before making a decision. What a total ass.
Sounds like Antifa has flipped Paul boy over to the fascist side.
Shut up and go away, Rand. We don’t care what you “saw.”
Somebody needs to take Paul’s car keys. We don’t want to have him running into ICE vehicles like he’s some kind of wacky demolition derby driver.
The real problem was the cop who accidently discharged the weapon.
This is probably a counter-post against the Rand fanatic.
Was he screaming about the murder of the young lady visitor to Congress on Jan 6?
