As House Democrats lay out their impeachment case against President Trump before the U.S. Senate, critics say their accusations ring hollow.
That's because Democratic lawmakers, including several members of the impeachment team, have used similar rhetoric in the past, including the phrase "fight like hell". One House Democrat actually vowed to "fight like hell" against Trump during the House's impeachment hearing.
Others even called previous elections stolen, which is one of the points they've attempted to make against Trump. For example, House impeachment manager Jamie Raskin issued a challenge against certifying President Trump's 2016 electoral win.
Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky told CBN News the impeachment managers have failed to prove that President Trump committed an impeachable offense.
"I think the case that the violence that happened on January 6th was abhorrent and that the people who committed it should be punished, sure they've done a good job of that. But they've also admitted that the President's words did not incite the crowd," Sen. Paul said.
"Interestingly, one of the House Managers, David Cicilline, on the first day of the trial he stood up and said the President's words are not why we're convicting him or impeaching him, they said it was because he promoted this big lie that the election was stolen," he continued.
"The lead House manager stood up in 2017 and said Trump stole the election and he voted not to cede the electors from Florida," Sen. Paul pointed out.
"Hypocrisy and this idea of a double standard just doesn't look well, I don't think this is good for the country, it's in no way unifying, and I think it just furthers the bitterness and rancor of the election, so I think this is a huge mistake by the Democrats," he said.

I’m beginning to think that Sen. Paul has reached the “I don’t givadam what they do to me” stage, and is no longer hedging his statements or his actions.
Someone who has been put through what he has been put through by the Left and made it to the other side is invincible.

But nothing gets investigated or gets to the courts...so it’s a lie.|
Just say, “it’s a lie” long enough......video example below.

He’s got more courage than any of the rest and obviously owes no one or he wouldn’t be talking like he is. The other bought off, blackmailed and criminal repukers are disgusting.
Hi.
I hope you are doing well.
Senator Paul has been harassed, shot at and assaulted physically on multiple occasions.
He needs better security.

Bleat, bleat, bleat
What are you going to DO about it, Senator?
The Democrats have just started
Rand Paul voted to accept the fraudulent election result on January 6th, just like every other scumbag GOPee quisling traitor. He’s a prevaricator and a hypocrite crossdressing as alibertarian. The cult of Rand Paul on this website is beyond belief, just like the cult of Tulsi Gabbard on this website. Both Paul and Gabbard always vote for unmitigated evil when the chips are down. FURP!
