Rand Paul: Attackers May Have Been Paid And From Out Of Town, I’d Be Dead If It Weren’t For The Police

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told “Fox & Friends” host Steve Doocy on Friday that he believes the mob attack on him last night in Washington, D.C., could be part of a larger criminal conspiracy involving “interstate criminal traffic being paid for across state lines.”

“They were yelling threats. They were trying to push the police over to get to me,” Paul said. “They were grabbing at us, and it got worse and worse and worse, and then finally, we decided to make a move. I said we’ve got to move. If there’s not gonna be reinforcements, we have to try to get to the hotel, which was another block, and they were shouting threats to us, to kill us, to hurt us, but they were also saying, shouting, ‘Say her name, Breonna Taylor,’ and it’s like, you couldn’t reason with this mob, but I’m actually the author of the Breonna Taylor law to end no-knock raids.”
