Senator Rand Paul lays into AG Merrick Garland's plans for FBI to crackdown on parents who stand up to woke school boards
Daily Mail ^ | Oct 7 | By RACHAEL BUNYAN

Republican Senator Rand Paul has blasted Attorney General Merrick Garland for his plans for the FBI to crackdown on parents who stand up for woke school boards, warning that Americans should 'be afraid of your government'.

Paul said moms at school boards are now being told 'they are criminals' as he slammed the Justice Department's plans to draft in the FBI to prosecute parents for protesting against the likes of critical race theory (CRT) and transgender ideology being taught to their children in schools across America.

The Kentucky senator told Fox News Primetime: 'Moms at school boards are being told that they're criminals, potential domestic terrorists, for the crime of dissent.

'I think criminalizing dissent is something that we should all be appalled with.'

Fox host Ben Domenech asked Paul what he would tell Americans who are concerned that 'if they go to their local school board and say the wrong thing, that they're going to end up up on some list that Merrick Garland goes after.'

The senator responded: 'I would say be afraid. Be afraid of your government.'

Paul continued: '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.'

On Monday, Garland sent a memo saying the FBI and local law enforcement had been engaged to tackle the 'disturbing trend' of teachers being threatened or harassed.

I don’t hear a lot of talk about the fact that Garlands’ Son in Law is a major supplier of CRT Pubs. to schools. Wouldn’t htat be a conflict of interest?

it is about the money.

Garland, the SCHEMING AG, has a daughter who makes
money from critical race theory (CRT).

Garland, Jobberist #1, uses his position to force
families to fund his daughter, OR lose their liberty
or children to the FIB and DO”J”... for their videos.

will the GOP impeach Garland? ROTFLOL

What democrats know is that, hearings are to be tolerated and then completely ignored, since, nothing ever comes out of them; no actions and no holding accountable of those that create the problems.

It's all political theater, meant to appease their constituents with the appearance of doing something, while it's exactly nothing.

Has Garland or the administration done anything to back down from their crackdown against parents? Nope! Not gonna happen.

The best senators are Rand Paul (R-KY), Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Josh Hawley (R-MO). Ron Johnson (R-WI), Tom Cotton (R-AR) and John Kennedy (R-LA) have their moments. Still too early to tell with Tommy Tuberville (R-AL). The rest are worthless.

We owe Mitch McConnell a big thank you for keeping Garland off the SCOTUS!

Thick as thieves...

Garland is Jamie “Mistress of Disaster” Gorelick’s “wingman” and he counted Abner Mikva amongst his mentors. Mikva also mentored Obama.

Exactly! Rand should be making that point daily. As should all the Republicans.

Liberty is when government fears citizens.

Tyranny is when citizens fear the government.

Stop the talk. Home school and private education. Does the money still follow where the kid is? If so, hit them in the purse.

I am ashamed of Georgia’s Attorney General Chris Carr (R).

He’s done NOTHING, not even paid his usual lip service to this tyranny.

With Republican AGs like Chris Carr, who needs communist Democrats!

A few Republicans have, but they’re not election fraud compromised like Georgia’s Republicans are:

No, the Republicans didn't have any fun when they were in the majority. They prefer being a member of the Bob Michel wing
