Senator Rand Paul blasted his Democratic colleagues’ attempt to eliminate the filibuster as a parliamentary rule this week; saying the Party will “drag our great country down into the gutter.”
“Hyper-partisan Democrats are about to drag our great country down into the gutter of rancor and vitriol, the likes of which has never been seen in our nation’s history,” said Paul.
“Instead of doing the nation’s work, Democrats are wasting the nation’s time on a partisan vendetta against a man no longer in office. It’s as if they have no ability to exist except in opposition to Donald Trump. Without him, they might have to legislate and convince Americans that their policies are the right ones,” he added.

Paul discussed his harrowing attack Thursday night after an unhinged mob descended on the Republican lawmaker; saying the crowd “would have killed me” if not for DC police officers.
“We walked one block, but as we walked we could see some police in the distance but we also saw a mob of people screaming and yelling. Fortunately, we got to the police, otherwise I don’t think we would have survived,” said Paul.
“The Policemen were forming a barricade with their bodies,” he added. “We waited, but the crowd was getting bigger and bigger and pushing in. It got worse and worse and worse. Finally, we decided to make a move. They were shouting threats to hurt us and kill us.”
