“I saw a man that was retreating,” GOP Sen. Rand Paul says of the video he saw of Alex Pretti, shot and killed by federal immigration officers. He has scheduled a Congressional hearing on the matter.

Once you are being detained, you can’t retreat.
He just caused ICE to have a lot more trouble.
“I saw a man that was retreating,”
That’s kinda’ true...that is after he was packed with bullets.
Grandstanding jerk. Where are the hearings on sanctuary cities which flagrantly violate the supremacy clause of the constitution.

Much of this would not be happening if those states and cities actually followed the constitution and represented US citizens, not illegal criminals.
I am asking you directly RandFan, why has your idol not scheduled any such hearings? Instead of actually addressing the real issue Rand Paul would rather put pressure on ordinary citizens just trying to do their job which is actually the law of the land.
Disgusting.
hes actually going to have a hearing about this lunatic...even after that other video came out?. Since when is it ok to resist and fight police while concealing a hand gun??...exactly when did Paul lose his mind? Hes got to go..
Yep, most retreat when they realize they have been outgunned.
Fact it was literally against the state law for that guy to take a gun to a protest, RandFan why are you ignoring that?
I don’t speak for him!
You should ask his office or better still find someone in KY to ask as a constituent you’ll get an answer even if a terse reply
You do speak for him, you have repeatedly posted and affirmed his positions and actions in the senate, ergo you are no less a mouthpiece for him than his hired staff.
The 2nd amendment says you can take a gun wherever you like
Rand will point this out is my hunch.
The Supreme court has recognized that there can be limits on where a gun can be carried, currently banning a weapon at a protest is one of those places until they rule differently.
You should have watched more, Rand.
Retreating was not what was happening.
No one cares what men in black robes think it doesn’t supersede the constitution
And women, of course :)
That may sound cold to many, but "cold" is all I've got left.
When democrats control congress they investigate republicans. When republicans control congress they..also investigate republicans.
Until Marbury v. Madison gets overturned everyone cares and the Supreme Court does indeed decide what the Constitution means.
You need to go back and take some civics courses.

60 minutes doesn’t even have to creatively edit Rand to make him sound like an idiot.
