Every time I see Rand Paul speaking, I more fully understand why his neighbor gave him a beat down in his front yard.

Rand is a special piece of work. He’s got that too cool for school (libertarian) attitude while really only being a legacy.

He's ignorant, talking out of his ass, and no Rand, there are NOT two sides to ever story.There are facts and there is republican dissembling and prevaricating.

Yes, the Republican party a bunch of documented liars. Now that facts have made a comeback, he sounds like a child--but, but, but, butt hurt.

And the video wasn't yet half over! Hey Rand - you'd be amazed at how quickly people, especially in the same political party, take their cues from the big liar at the top. It's a culture of lying set by Donald Trump and all his Republican underlings who wanted to remain in his good graces. Just look at Bill Barr - he was willing to do a lot of dirty work for Trump, but when Trump persisted in baseless claims, disproven 80+ times in court, of widespread voter fraud, he jumped ship and said that this was a bridge too far.

...Rand Paul represents Trump and his lies. Using his time on network TV to further the lies that Trump
made. In defending Trump, Paul accuses the news media of lying about what happened. Just like Trump.
..This interview was on orders of the Republican Party to get out there and continue the lie that....
"...the election was stolen." (that is my opinion) Paul's allegiance is to the Republican Party, and not the
truth. It is what Ron Paul is all about.

Pretty clear this is the GOP strategy. Different Republicans on different networks will be stoking this flame for at least a year, or until some new invented scandal is brought up.

Creating doubt and anger at Democrats. Because to the "uneducated" it seems like a perfectly reasonable request. What harm could their be in simply investigating, and probably confirming the results for Republican voters who do not have confidence in the system?

But of course we know what would happen. It would even be worse. Because Rs would drag out this "investigation" for months maybe years, going from State to State and, like anything, eventually they will find one or two more cases of someone doing something illegal. Not enough to alter the overall vote, but enough to keep the whole "ELECTION FRAUD!!" on the front burner.
