Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Wednesday that Americans should “be afraid of your government” after Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the FBI would probe a purported spike in threats to local school officials amid protests over mask mandates and the addition of critical race theory to curricula.
“Moms at school boards are being told that they’re criminals, potential domestic terrorists, for the crime of dissent,” Paul told “Fox News Primetime,” “and I think criminalizing dissent is something that we should all be appalled with.”
When host Ben Domenech asked Paul what he would say to Americans who are worried that “if they go to their local school board and say the wrong thing, that they’re going to end up on some list that Merrick Garland goes after,” the senator answered in no uncertain terms.
“I would say be afraid. Be afraid of your government,” Paul said.
“That’s a sad thing from someone in the government to say, but the thing is, is those lists already exist. For example, people in northern Virginia that have gone to [protests], have been then sought out by the school council, by the members of the school board and retaliated [against] in a sort of legalistic way to try to put them on some sort of list and chill their speech by letting them know there’ll be a penalty for showing up and protesting.”

A bit on the expensive side at $19.99, but if you’ve got an oxygen-deprived kid, it’s priceless.
The governed are withdrawing their consent.
yeah its called liberty
[[“That’s a sad thing from someone in the government to say, but the thing is, is those lists already exist.]]
Then expose the lists- get the info out about what the school board is already doing to spy on people- to keep tabs on them etc- EXPOSE their bs to the public so that this crap stops—
[[there’ll be a penalty for showing up and protesting.”]]
People need to show up with their lawyers who will remiond the school boards that intimidating and threatening people for voicign their opposition is not legal and will not be tolerated-
He wants Americans to just voluntarily give up all their freedom?
As a senator doesn’t have have SOME power to call the DOJ to account?!
The Dems never seem to have any problems when in the minority (let alone the majority) to start up investigations and demand hearings.
He does not sit on the Judiciary committee. I think Sen. Cruz does
Seems like that's just the point where you "kick it up a notch".
.
Never mind the police. Defund the FBI.
The minute that happens, we're screwed. And I think we're long past that point. Stock up and keep your powder dry.
“I would say be afraid. Be afraid of your government”
Hitler didn’t take over all the power over night it took him a little longer.
Rand Paul is RIGHT! Actually the AG of the USA is declaring war upon it’s citizens by his proclamation and letter to the FIB and therefore as such WE THE PEOPLE had ever right to begin to think of ‘our government?’ in a very different way!
Are they our actual government any longer any longer or are they the enemy? What are they doing to our children and why? Why are they so hostile to the parents and what are they doing to the concern parents who are voicing their opinions ‘right now’ today - surveilling them!
Are they surveilling me now for writing on this blog - ‘right now - starting today’? F*cking scary!
Time for CWII preparation? Time for us to separate and start a new country? Something has got to change - what the obiden regime and the AG did to these parents at the request of commie school boards this week is worse than leaving the southern bolder wide open, f*cking up in Afghanistan, forcing people to invade their health ad get stabbed with poison for faxui and obiden! They are declare war on it’s citizens and indoctrinating our children and telling them it’s non of the parents business! GO TO HELL OBIDEN!
