U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said he was attacked by a “crazed mob” of more than 100 people after leaving the White House following President Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.
Senator Rand Paul confirmed on social media Thursday night he was attacked by an “angry mob” after leaving President Trump’s acceptance speech at the White House; thanking DC police for “saving his life.”
Just got attacked by an angry mob of over 100, one block away from the White House. Thank you to @DCPoliceDept for literally saving our lives from a crazed mob.

Video on social media appeared to show a crowd chasing and jeering Paul, who was escorted by D.C. police as he returned to his hotel. An officer was captured on video being shoved by a protester and was nearly knocked over. Paul appeared to help steady the officer.
Police formed a wall around Paul and his wife, Kelley Paul as protesters chanted, “Breonna Taylor” and “no justice, no peace!”
I want you to watch this video of Rand Paul and his wife Kelley being mobbed by a group of crazed Biden voters but first remember Rand has been shot at before by a Democrat who wanted to murder him for being Republican. Elected Democrats encouraged this. pic.twitter.com/d92C43kXov
