Republican Senator Rand Paul stood up for the millions of Americans who have questions and concerns about the integrity of November’s elections, while facing down the withering fire of ABC News Journalist and former top aide to Bill Clinton George Stephanopoulos.
During an appearance this week on ABC’s the Week Paul refused to be cowed by Stephanopoulos in spite of his incredibly shrill tone.
As Red State reports:
But where it got really good — and highlights how all GOP legislators should conduct themselves in the future when facing a hostile press — is when Stephanopoulos intimated that Paul and other GOP members that had concerns about election integrity had swallowed a “big lie”.
That’s when Paul addressed the elephant that’s been sitting in living rooms across the country for the last four years.
“George, George, where you make a mistake is that people coming from the liberal side like you, you immediately say everything’s a lie instead of saying there’s two sides to everything. Historically what would happen, if I thought there were fraud, you would interview someone else,” Paul said. “Let me finish my point. You said we’re all liars. You’re simply saying we’re all liars,” Paul continued, as George repeatedly interjected and cut him off.
“Let’s talk about the specifics of it,” the Senator continued. “In Wisconsin, tens of thousands of absentee votes had only the name on them and no address, historically those were thrown out, this time they weren’t. They made special accommodations. Because, oh, it’s a pandemic…They changed the law after the fact. That’s wrong, that’s unconstitutional. I’m planning on spending the next two years going around state to state, I won’t be cowed by liberals in the media who say there’s no evidence here and you’re a liar if you talk about election fraud. Let’s have an open debate. This is a free country.”
