âWe wonât be intimidated. And yes, we have guns.â
What a remarkable statement that is, coming as it did from the wife of a United States senator. And what a sad, sorry indictment it is on our nation â and specifically the American Left â that Kelley Paul felt she needed to say it.
âAt approximately 4:30 p.m. on Monday,â said the FBIâs Louisville field office, âthe U.S. Capitol Police was notified a letter containing a powdery substance was sent to the Kentucky home of Senator Rand Paul.â
But thatâs not the half of it. The image on the envelope is a picture of a badly beaten Rand Paul: neck brace, right arm in a cast, left arm working a crutch, and a stick-figure rifle pointed at his temple. The caption at the bottom reads, âIâLL FINISH WHAT YOUR NEIGHBOR STARTED, YOU MOTHERFâER.â
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and his wife Kelley discussed on Thursday a suspicious package, filled with white powder and bearing an image threatening violence, which arrived to their Kentucky home three days before, calling the act "pure terrorism."
"They don t want us on there," Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said on Tuesday. "And ultimately the answer maybe is Republicans need to just quit. We just need to leave it."
The FBI is investigating.
“Frankly, I’m tired of it. I’m just tired of them allowing this. And I’m tired of them blaming it on the right,” Mr. Paul told Fox News host Martha MacCallum.
He also brought up the 2017 shooting at the Congressional Baseball Game practice by a left-wing activist that injured three, including Rep. Steve Scalise, Louisiana Republican.
“I was at the ball field when a Bernie Sanders shooter almost killed Steve Scalise, wounded five other people,” Mr. Paul said. “So I’m sick and tired of the violence coming from the left, but I’m sick and tired of the left-wing press then blaming it all on Donald Trump or on me or others.”
