Rand Paul and his wife Kelley were surrounded by a mob of protesters who recognized them and threatened them after they left the White House. This is Kelley Paul's account of the incident.

Maybe this will lessen his libertarian hostility to law enforcement.

Those in the media and in government who have downplayed the last three months of burning, shootings, murder, looting, and destruction have fomented this horrific violence.

Absolutely.

And it goes back further than three months. It goes back to 2016 and the early Trump campaign events which were marred by leftist violence.

And really for anyone with a sense of history it goes back quite a bit further still.

Do senators not have any kind of protection detail?

This was disgusting however I am sort of glad it happened there to them because maybe it will be more highlighted and will be stopped. The republicans except for President Trump have not really been calling out the rioting violence but now it was in their face.

Apparently not that night. The Pauls had to walk a block (at 1 a.m.) before hooking up with the two D.C. cops who may have saved their lives.

Tucker's interview of the Pauls has video:

It was a horrible how the BLM mob threatened Sen. Rand Paul and Kelley Paul. No one should be intimiidated walking in an American city.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser failed to provide security for American citizens. She is responsible for the anarchy in D.C. as she has tolerated and encouraged this behavior.

Tucker had them on and it was clear that she was still traumatized.

Yea, she and another 7or8 mayors, 6 or 7 Govs and 7or 8 AGs, where is the controlling legal authority? There isn’t any, and while this will probably go away in a couple of months, I don’t think there will ever be justice for those who have already been injured/ killed.

Leftists are posting things on social media claiming that the Pauls staged this, purposely inserting themselves into the mob as publicity stunt / photo op. Such a twisted, sick, deranged mentality on the left. The left in this country is out of control. This is very much starting to look like 1910s Russia, 1930s Spain, 1940s China, 1950s Cuba, etc. If we lose in November, God help us. And even if we win, God help us because this is getting ugly.

Be a shame if a mob targeted Bowser’s house and family...

Tucker Carlson's video of the mob pushing against the cops who were protecting the Pauls says otherwise. George Soros could pay for a mob like that, Rand Paul could not.

General Milley thinks it’s just 1st amendment speech and he regrets using the Guard against DC antifa.

They should not have a protection detail. If they want to live in safety, they should create a society where decent people can walk the streets.
THAT is their protection detail.

What are you talking about? Can you back that up with documentation?

Have followed this pretty closely and listened to Paul's interviews. These violent thugs are using Alenski style attacks....a few they take the lead and are selecting targets, the mob then is easily led to go along as those in the mob aren't thinking at all..... In this case anyone who attended the South Lawn event that they could isolate was a target.

Have to say I didn't think the black community could alienate me any more than they have since these protests/riots first started.....but there's nothing they could do or say now or in the future that will change the disdain I have toward them and their culture of violence. I will oppose 'anything' they want or demand.

Rand should submit legislation to make it illegal for telecom to own news operations. That would be the appropriate FU2 to ATT and Comcast.

......”They should not have a protection detail”.....

Well this attack, and others where officials who have been targeted in the climate of this election season, should tell you otherwise.
