#ArrestRandPaul trends on Twitter after he walks out over impeachment question

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The hashtag #ArrestRandPaul started trending Thursday after the Kentucky Republican walked out of the Senate because Chief Justice John Roberts wouldn't read his impeachment question.

Sen. Paul's question during the impeachment trial proceedings of President Donald Trump had to do with "whether or not individuals who were holdovers from the Obama National Security Council and Democrat partisans conspired with Schiff staffers to plot impeaching the President before there were formal House impeachment proceedings," he said in a tweet Thursday.

When Roberts blocked his question, Paul walked out of the Senate and read it aloud to reporters behind a podium before tweeting it out. Paul has named the alleged whistleblower before and has repeatedly urged that the tipster be outed publicly.

After he tweeted the alleged tipster's name Thursday, the hashtag #ArrestRandPaul started trending nationally alongside other related tags.

1. He left the trial to hold a press conference.

He broke the rules. His vote should be nullified.

2. Why stop at Rand Paul?

3. His question was irrelevant.

It had nothing to do with the proceedings and he damn well knew it.

Rand Paul is a snitty little bitch.

4. I've Been Saying Ever Since The Day Those 21 Republicans Walked Out.........

.............that Roberts should announce at the end of the proceedings that every Senator who walked out during testimony has just forfeited his/her vote. You'd hear some sphincters puckering up after that.

I mean, it's only fair. What would a trial judge do if a juror walked out in the middle of a trial? That juror would be disqualified.

5. and the Republican majority would overrule Roberts

The Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments and the Senate sets its own rules of procedure.

Roberts has only as much power there as they allow.
