Republican Sen. Rand Paul now says ludicrously it wasn’t Trump who incited the Capitol riot but Democrats — less than three weeks after a Trump mob sacked the Capitol and sought to hang the Vice President.

1. My gawd, they're all

vile.

[MyOwnPeace]

2. I'm think his neighbor.......

should start to worry about being sued for actually causing brain damage to Rand.....

[Blue Owl]

3. Are we sure Ben Carson hasn't been operating on Rand Paul's brain?

Check under the rug for any scars...

4. Let's all play "Goebbels says"!

[dalton99a]

5. Republicans are trying to out-lie Trump

[napi21]

6. RAND? I understand you supporting the Prez, but do you need glasses & a hearing aid? Check out the

video that's replayed on your TV several times each day. DT says "March down the street, I'll come with you!" Of course he chickened out & went back to the WH, but even the rioters say We're here because out Prez told us to!"

7. 'The Liar Rand Paul"

[dubyadiprecession]

8. Are we supposed to pretend that some of these republicans...

Already had credibility to begin with?

[still_one]

9. Paul is a racist POS, just like his dad

[mtnsnake]

10. Is Paul actually implying that Giuliani, Hawley, & Cruz are Democrats???

Is he that much out of his fucking mind?

[occupant]

11. Ain't playin no more

Still playing the game "If they hear it enough, they will believe it". Hey Paul, you asshole, we quit playing that game when your bossman left our White House. What are ya blind you stupid fucker? Sniffin too much of that hair glue?
What I found to be most hauntingly eerie was the audio from amongst the crowd. You could hear tRump in the background egging the mob on, and you could hear them chanting back to him ! That needs to be played in the trial. It was astounding ! Chills up the back of my neck...

12. Part of the GOP Playbook

Change the narrative. Never admit guilt. It's always the fault of the other guy. Ignore the man behind the curtain. When you lie, go big.

Remember that Rand Paul has presidential aspirations in 2024, and that means courting the same idiot loonies that Trump pumped into a frothing mob. Truth doesn't matter, and if anything will only hurt him and others who are courting the troglodyte vote.

14. Exactly. You nailed it. nt

[2naSalit]

13. Zombie. ...nt

[MagickMuffin]

15. NO LOGIC INSIDE HIS SKULL

BECAUSE WHY WOULD WE INCITE A RIOT TO "STOP THE STEAL" OF THE ELECTION WE WON.

Rand, does your noggin rattle with all those loose marbles rollin around in there?

Or

Could we blow out a candle on the other side of your ear when we blow in the opposite one?

In other words not much in there bub.

16. When caught, sociopaths usually blame their victims.

[Midnight Writer]

18. Exactly. This is the abuser's line. "Look what you made me do!"

[Irish_Dem]

20. Sexual abusers do this all the time.

That 4 yr old was asking for it, wanted it.

17. Rand Paul knows he's lying and is doing so intentionally.

He knows that his followers only want information that favors their world view. Any contradictory information is discarded. So, his followers don't want to believe that Trump encouraged an attack on the capitol even though there's video evidence.

So, Rand Paul like Fox News like OAN, etc. give their followers the information that they want and not the truth.

[stopbush]

19. Next he'll assert that Hillary was president for the past four years

and that’s why the country is so divided.

21. R. Squirrel-Attached-To-Rand-Paul does not always make sense, but it's learning to speak.
