Seems like BLM protesters harshed the mellow of the special people Trump illegally entertained on the grounds of the White House for his acceptance speech. Rand Paul was one of the people who required a police escort. I think this is the first time I realized he's a tiny little man, just like his father.
Let's put the crowd's reaction in context:
The Emmett Till Antilynching Act passed by a tremendous bi-partisan margin of 410-4 in the House. But it has not passed in the Senate because of one man: Rand Paul.
Rand Paul has single-handedly prevented this bill from being passed in the Senate. https://t.co/spFNyl60wA— Kristen Clarke (@KristenClarkeJD) August 28, 2020
Rand has his version:
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.
— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) August 28, 2020
They were yelling at you but never physically harmed you. We live in a system of government called a democracy. That “angry mob” is what is actually called the American people who are voicing their opinions. They never threw anything at you or even touched you.

You weren't "attacked," you friggin' weenie. You got yelled at by angry voters. It's part of your job description. https://t.co/SBgJ9Sb1Uf

Protesters confronted all of the people leaving the speech, not just Rand:
