In a speech on the Senate floor Friday, Rand Paul blasted efforts by Democrats to paint up all law enforcement officers and those in the military as dangerous radical racists.
Paul was addressing The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022, blocked by Republicans in the Senate, that demands the FBI and Department of Homeland Security change the way they investigate and monitor domestic terrorism suspects.
The official summary of the bill notes that an “interagency task force” would be established in order to probe into “white supremacist and neo-Nazi infiltration of the uniformed services and federal law enforcement agencies.”
“This bill should be called by a more accurate name: the Democrat plan to brand our police and soldiers as white supremacists and neo-Nazis,” Paul proclaimed.
He continued, “How insulting,” adding “We knew that Democrats despise and want to defund the police, but now, they believe that the police, federal law enforcement, and the U.S. military are full of white supremacists and neo-Nazis?”
Referring to the now mothballed ‘Disinformation Governance Board’, Paul also noted “Those of us who still care about the Bill of Rights just got done taking down the DHS ‘Ministry of Truth,’ and a day later, Democrats want to create the DHS Thought Police. You couldn’t make it up if you tried. But they don’t stop there.”
“The bill creates two other Thought Police offices at the Department of Justice and at the FBI, which seems like a self-defeating choice, since elsewhere in the bill, we are told that federal law enforcement is shot through with white supremacists and neo-Nazis,” Paul urged.
The Senator also noted that “None of the bill makes sense. It doesn’t make sense because it was a bill that was never intended to become law. It’s a dumb, Washington talking points memo masquerading as legislation.”
“But congressional Democrats have gotten so radical, so extreme, and so out-of-touch with the American people that when they read it, they see something worthwhile,” he added.
Paul concluded that “This bill will fail today because the Democrats’ message — hate the police, defund the police, slander the military and police as racists and white supremacists — has been roundly rejected by the American people.”
The bill failed to pass the Senate’s 60-vote filibuster in a 47-47 vote.

Rand Paul, doing China Mitch’s job again.
Is there anything mentioned about sleeping with a chicom spy? Just wondering...
If you are a Police Officer in America and offer Any kind of Protective Service for a DEMONRAT, by definition you are a RACIST POS
The ‘Rats want to criminalize MAGA voters and then preclude them from voting.
To save Democracy [for just themselves].
We should have eliminated all the Democrats in 1865.
Those in the DNC are all scum.
I am always amazed at how lock-step the democrats are, even when they know they are in the wrong.
Disusting!
/S
That’s “Democratacy”.
They’re trying to transplant Putin’s reason for invading Ukraine to our country.
And they want the police and military to be Democrat partisans to enforce ideology.
Rand Paul’s mistake here is acting as though the left’s goal really is to purge the military and police of white supremacists
It is not. It is a naked attempt to intimidate and co-opt these institutions as another partisan body they can use for their political purposes.
Its that shitbird Obama’s MO.
Communists are the source of the claim that “capitalism IS white supremacy”….GOP supports capitalism, so they use youth/counter culture & immigration policy to incite commie revolution. Time to fight to eliminate the income tax or argue “equal protection” for a flat income tax, ban teacher unions & all public sector unions and call these people out. Half the Democrat party are Marxists, not Democrats. Where’s the press?
They will call us worse as they shove us into boxcars.
Cops are in the way. They are an enemy to Communists becaus they protect property and the capitalist order. Sad to say, pandering Sean Hannity helps to sell communist propaganda, ie claim that mass incarceration of black males was capitalists…a la privatized prisons….trying to keep minorities from voting in socialist “change” by having their right to vote stripped from them. That’s why Democrats fought to have inmates voting from prison in VA or ex-felons voting in other states—-all began with commies lying about the crime bill and why USA got tough on crime at the end of the 1980s/early 1990s. Sometimes, the punishment did not fit the crime when it came to drug law….but now drugs are being legalized all over and the right is the weakest it’s been in out lifetime, maybe.
They are insisting that “White” be treated as a synonym for “dangerous”.
