Another day, another claim from Rand Paul that someone, possibly a Democrat or an “Antifa terrorist,” is plotting to kill him.
Kentucky Anti-Gay and Anti-Science Senator Says He Got Not One, Not Two, Not Three, Not Four, But Five-Five! – death threats last week. And it all has to do with his beef with Dr Anthony Fauci, who he’s angry with because he won’t accept the conspiracy theory about the Wuhon coronavirus lab leaks.
“This week I received five death threats just for being outspoken,” Paul told Fox News Friday night. “I don’t know where the world is going.”
He continued, “You can’t ask honest, tough questions that ultimately proved that Dr Fauci was not being honest with us, but in repercussion my family had white powder sent to us and five threats of death phoned.
(For the record: Dr. Fauci was honest. It was Rand who lied.)
Last week, a package containing white powder was delivered to Rand. An initial test determined the substance was not dangerous, but that didn’t stop him and his wife, Kelley, from taking to Twitter to say someone was plotting to have them murdered.
The couple accused contemporary adult singer Richard Marx, best known for his 1989 worldwide hit single “Right Here Waiting,” of being responsible after saying something mean about Rand on Twitter.
I’ve been targeted multiple times now, it’s wrong for Twitter to allow C-List celebrities to advocate for violence against me and my family! https://t.co/WhTtswUI91

I got the death threat letter and called the FBI. This kind of violent threat is fomented against Rand on a daily basis by @ ReallyAmerican1, a Dem PAC who pays thugs like @mmpadellan to celebrate the assault that nearly killed Rand. @DNC ignore. @richardmarx incited more violence

Last August, Rand said that a “mad mob” attempted to assassinate him and Kelley in cold blood as they walked from the White House to their hotel after Donald Trump’s RNC speech.
I just got attacked by an angry mob of over 100 people, one block from the White House. Thanks to @DCPoliceDept for literally saving our lives from a mad mob.

Video of the incident, however, showed the couple walking down the street completely shielded by a wall of police officers as a group of a dozen perfectly peaceful journalists and protesters took photos and begged him to speak out in favor of Black Lives Matter.
When the District of Columbia District Attorney and the FBI both decided not to investigate the case, Rand went crazy on Twitter, raving about how “the thugs who attacked my wife and I” walked around freely.
Since claiming to have received five death threats last week, Paul has made several appearances on Fox News and obsessively tweeted about Dr Fauci, calling him a “massive fraud” and a “flip-flop.” , accusing him of peddling “science fiction”. ”And suggesting that his“ days are numbered ”.
Now who’s making the death threats, Rand?
