A violent, hateful mob exposed itself in their attack on Kentucky Senator Rand Paul—author of the Breoona Taylor Law and 22 other criminal justice reform bills. They perfectly illustrated the dark oppressive tone of the Democratic National Convention vs. the inspiring godly pro-life tone of the Republican National Convention that concluded Thursday.
In fact, festivities ending the night (fireworks and singing by tenor Christopher Macchio) on the White House south lawn contrasted perfectly with the guillotine execution of an effigy of President Donald J. Trump while he was giving his nomination acceptance speech and by the attack made by the angry mob on those exiting the White House grounds at the conclusion of the Republican’s Convention “Honoring the Great American Story” and focused on the “Land of Greatness.”
A mob of 120 violent protestors attacked Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), family and friends as they left the GOP Convention festivities at the White House on Thursday night. The irony of the mob’s attack and demands for Sen. Paul “to say her name (Breoona Taylor)” is that the Kentucky senator is author of the Breoona Taylor Law that ended no-knock police raids and also authored 22 criminal justice reforms.
The incident in which the hateful mob was shouting vile expletives as well as threats was either not covered by mainstream media or downplayed and defended by many Democrats on Twitter with comments such as:
• “Crazed mob? Let me translate that for you: concerned American citizens exercising their First Amendment rights: “…right of the people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” In case, you know, YOU FORGOT.
• “Attacked is when you are shot seven times for trying to stop a fight and are left paralyzed from the waist down. Protestors telling you what they think isn’t an attack, it’s your job.”
These tweets are contrasted by the actual account (which was recorded) given by Sen. Rand Paul to Fox News:
“The mob was already chasing people who chose to go off that exit so the Secret Service said: ‘Get on a bus and ride to the Trump Hotel,’ As we got close, streets were blocked and no one would let us though. I regret that I made this decision, but I said we would walk the (last) two blocks.
“The crowd doubled to 60 then it doubled again to 120. They were shouting threats to us that they were going to hurt us, kill us, but they were also shouting: ‘Say her name: Breonna Taylor.’ It was like you could not reason with this mob. But I am actually the author of the Breonna Taylor Law to end no-knock raids. So, the irony is lost on these idiots that they are trying to kill the person who is trying to get rid of no knock raids.
“If America becomes Portland, what is going to happen is that people are going to be pummeled and kicked in the head and left senseless on the curb. That would have happened to us. We are thankful that we had police.
“We got to wake up. The United States is going to be on fire if we have no police. Look, I have been for reform. I have authored 22 criminal justice reforms. They were yelling at me. ‘We’re not going to let you go alive, unless you say out-loud: ‘You are for criminal justice reform.’
“I am the leading advocate for criminal justice reform with President Obama with President Trump and you are going to try to kill me? I have been trying to help the problem.
“People have been killed. We have to have law and order. We have got to support the police. I can’t say that strong enough.”
The leftist hateful Marxist, Communist, Socialist, anti-God, anti-American mob on Thursday contrasted with the peace-loving, pro-life, patriotic, godly crowd inside the White House south lawn.
The choice between the two parties is quite clear: “I vote for President Trump and America!“

Probably Soros. But it could include Styer or even Bloomberg. The sad sack billionaires club.
There was also a Black DEM congressman that was harassed by the mob. His name escapes me right now, but he attended the RNC event at the White House and supports Pres. Trump. There are probably others, these are the ones that we’ve heard the most about.
We are aware of what Senator Paul, and his Wife went through. Were there any other people that had the same experiences?
And they claim to be the party of tolerance and inclusion. ROTFLMOA
I imagine it costs a lot to support a standing army of terrorists. WHO’S PAYING FOR IT?
Sen. Paul speaks out afterward:
