How about the fact that he ASSAULTED her? Grabbed her wrist and twisted it in an effort to get her to stop talking.

What an incredible asshole.

Rand Paul looked like a first class chicken, as he ran away from a couple of Dreamers, rather than risk a bad photo-op; but it was obviously the lesser of two evils. Either run away and look like a coward for not defending your position, or STAY and defend it, and look like an even bigger asshole.

...which he is.

Dipstick that he is, teabagger King at least stayed and showed more courage of his awful convictions than teabagger Paul.

Of course, in my book, both of those horrible men can both go piss up a rope!

PEACE!

Immigration Protester Confronts Steve King and Rand Paul; Paul Jets

This guy wants to be POTUS and deal with Putin, but panics when a young woman is asking questions about immigration.

White people have this idea that they fought a war with Mexico and won and then ran all the Mexicans over the border and took their land. This is why they act like everyone with brown skin MUST have come from over the border, don't belong here and need to be deported "back home".

I know seventh+ generation Latinos who can trace their ancestry back to when their great great great whatever who voted in the election of 1849 to make California a state and became instant citizens as a result.

White people told peasants that they would be free and then made them their servants.

If we were HONEST as a country, we would be more like Canada. They had England and France and we have England and Spain. (And German, and Irish, and Italian,....etc.)

The PROBLEM is we have a BIG swath of dumbasses in this country who call themselves "American" and don't even KNOW their ancestry. All they know is their great granddad's shootin' iron is over the mantelpiece and they like to think he used it against "injuns" when he used it to hunt squirrels. (A source of protein not exactly known to be "brain food&quot

However, after the recent redistricting, somehow Ames got put in his districtt, and now Steve King is my representative.

I didn't cross the border. The border crossed me!

What a glib scumbag. When he asked the lady if she was a drug smuggler she should have asked him if he is a corrupt politician. Two can play that game. Tit for tat!
And Rand Paul is running, not for president but for cover. What a wuss! World leaders would have him for breakfast and not even burp.

is there had to be people in that restaurant that could have spoken up and did not. Part of the problem is that sometimes we succumb quietly to these mouthy idiots. Maybe it is time to start a little shi.t and give it right back to them. I am so tired of the nastiness that so many people seem to embrace.

Photo below--Rep. Don Young grabbing the arm of an aide just trying to do his job. Bet they wouldn't dream of it if the person in front of them were male, very tall, and very muscular.

Do you remember THIS exchange? The old fart didn't even attend the meeting when this witness (Dr. Brinkley from Rice University) was testifying. Then he walks in afterwards and starts addressing the guy as 'Dr. Rice' and calling him a liar.
