Recovering Sen. Paul says political violence rising concern

Yahoo News

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Rand Paul says he’s recovering well from the November assault that left him with six broken ribs, and says violence against political figures is a concern among his colleagues.

The Kentucky Republican tells CBS’ “Face the Nation” that fellow lawmakers don’t want to think it’s open season on elected officials.  

But he says his own injuries and the June shooting that wounded members of Congress at a baseball practice in Virginia have made an impression on lawmakers.

Paul was pressed during the television interview about whether political grievances led his neighbor to tackle the senator while he was mowing his lawn. Paul gave no opinion and said people are too focused on attackers’ motivations rather than on punishment and deterrence.

  1. “….fellow lawmakers don’t want to think it’s open season on elected officials..”

    Well then maybe they better start doing their job of representing the American people instead of finding new ways to pry their noses up Netanyahu’s vent hole.

    1. Which puts them between a rock and a hard place—they KNOW they cannot go against Netanyahu unless they are ready to retire, and they also KNOW that at some point We the People are coming for these traitors. Antarctica, anyone?

  2. “… says violence against political figures is a concern among his colleagues.”

    That’s a given, considering all the ILLEGITIMATE GUN LAWS the scumbags keep trying to pass.

    Tick, tock, commie jewb#tches.
