For those that don't want to go to the cbs 60 minutes video to hear rand paul attack ICE and the Trump administration, here are some of the published highlights

rand paul also says Noem needs to be fired.

grandstanding rand paul wants to stop ICE from rounding up illegal aliens and let them stay in the country

It appears he doesn't care if they continue to grift and live off of tax payer money, and eventually vote in leftist so they take over the country.

I do not like Rand Paul. I do not like Republican Senators backstabbing the Trump administration.

However, this was handled terribly by Noem and Bovino and the statements they made immediately after without checking carefully were very damaging.

It was obvious when Tom Homan began to address this he took an entirely different tone and was far more responsible.

Having said that, I want the illegal immigrants out of my country.

It’s criminal that a Republican Senate will not pass laws to prevent them all being let back in by a Democrat administration.

This kind of nonsense is why Rand has earned such great contempt from conservatives, sane libertarians, and common-sense people on this forum.

The man has lost it and needs to retire, opening his senate seat to somebody who is going to actually do something to help salvage this country from the evil left.

I wish Rand Paul was as tough on Obama-Biden. His convictions are “as the wind blows”…

I watched the video several times I don't see anything that would implicate any of the officers. What I did see was a very stupid man confronting officers with a pistol, doing that gets you dead.

Noem is an idiot and should be fired. I agree with Rand this whole thing wasn’t handled properly. I also didn’t like the administration saying Pretti had no right to bring a loaded gun to the protests.

Rand was so wrong to attack the President on this. Rand was not there and he never lifted a hand or filled the shoes of law enforcement officers who are being attacked in any way possible by marxist troops.

What makes him even worse is where he goes to spew his total ignorance.

Rand, the people voted to remove illegal aliens and you are are aiding and abetting lawbreakers and seditious leftists.

Rand Paul, a legislator who rants constantly but never legislates anything.

If Pretti were a pro-life activist who got shot while fighting with police, armed, and trying to deny access to an abortion mill, neither Rand Paul nor anyone on the Left (or Right, for that matter) at all would be shedding tears over him.

That's all you need to know.

Pretti didn’t threaten anyone with his gun.
He was following the gun laws of his state, where you are allowed to bear arms. He never touched his gun.

I see many in the current US administration putting blame on Pretti just for carrying a gun... Excuse me, what??

Are some people in the current US administration now siding with Democrats on this (?) — will the right to bear arms now forbidden? These are the signals many prominent Republicans seem to be sending.

The world is truly upside down. Utter madness. Green is blue. 4 equals 5, war is peace, and so on.

Orwell’s 1984 has become absolute reality.

Trump to Paul needs to be: we are sending all illegals to Kentucky. Let them loose in the streets and he can deal with it. Tired of this guy. All five foot two of him.

Rand Paul is the last one to be criticizing anyone on poor judgment.

He can say goodbye to his seat in 2028.
