Lackey Rand Paul: Trump To Blame Black People For Inciting Violence As Impeachment Defense


Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) confirmed that Trump’s impeachment defense will blame elected black leaders like Reps. Omar and Waters, and Sen. Cory Booker for inciting violence. Paul said, “I think you’re going to see the Trump defense play video of Rep. Maxine Waters telling crowds to mob Trump administration officials and attack them. They’ll probably show clips of Cory Booker saying get up in their face of these congress people. You’ll probably see comments from Rep. Omar celebrating the violence that happened to me when I had six ribs broken and part of a lung removed.”

I see a tendency by some to understate the inherent American shitbaggery apsect, that would exist with or without Russia.

The thing that comes up the most if I google "Ilhan Omar Rand Paul" is HIM saying Ilhan Omar should "go back to Somalia".

I didn't think that was possible. I have to confess I celebrated when I heard his neighbor did what so many wanted to do.

as a sitting president. Now they argue he can't be prosecuted because he's out of office. Schizophrenia is covered by Obamacare. Maybe the MAGAts are covered by Trumpcare, better known as bury your head in the sand .

Capital Police officer Goodman, who led the mob away from where VP Pence and others were sheltered. As for the mob, I only saw white people, too. I hope this bullshit backfires mightily on them.

underlining the danger of inaction to racists.

Btw, I absolutely did NOT approve Waters' call to harass and create disruptive, nasty scenes wherever political adversaries went. Regardless of the righteousness of motive, those tactics cross the line to where the Pubs and Nasty Greene dwell, and of course no surprise at all that the ammunition they provide will be warped into their defense construction.
