Sen. Rand Paul, a strong supporter of President Trump, has a solution to liberal cries for civility: “Quit yelling at us.”
Challenging accusations that Trump has sparked a wave of anger in the country, the Kentucky Republican said that it’s mostly Democrats and liberals who are aggressive. In a famous assault case, he was attacked by an angry neighbor while cutting grass and just last month faced “yelling and screaming” from the only two other people in a Santa Barbara, California, restaurant.
“Somehow in their broken brains, they think it’s Trump’s fault, that incivility is coming from Donald Trump,” he said. “And yet, have you seen one conservative go up to a liberal in a restaurant yelling and screaming at them? I haven’t seen any of that,” he said.
He saw the double standard again at the Kennedy Center Honors awards ceremony last weekend.
“It’s a big Hollywood thing, and they didn’t say Trump’s name, but they were like, ‘We just need more tolerance and civility.’ And it’s like, well yeah, tell your people on the Left to quit yelling at us,” he told a Young Americas Foundation event.
