The Dems should call as their first witness, Rand Paul. After all, you witnessed what you called "Chaos and anarchy" on January 6. You are personally familiar with being physically threatened with harm by a politically agitated mob, as you claimed happened to you in August of 2020. And you suffered 5 broken ribs in an attack at your home, too, didn't you?
Please describe the incidents of January 6 here at the Capitol. Where were you at that time the mob broke into the Capitol building? What did you do? Did you stay in the Senate Chamber, or did you flee? Why did you say on January 6, that the "Chaos and anarchy" of that day were "wrong and un-American"? Should that "chaos and anarchy" that you rightfully labeled on January 6 be allowed to be inspired by a sitting President without any real consequence for having done so? Let us remind you, too, that you said this after previously saying that the election was "in many ways stolen"? So, the results of the election meant nothing to you in December, or but then they meant something again on January 6? If there was nothing to fear from the crowd on January 6, why did you not stay and greet the people who came into the capitol that day, and discuss things further with them?
And, Senator Paul, if an official can act against the Constitution of the United States that he's sworn to uphold, while still in office, as President Trump did on July 6, should he be able to do so without consequence, merely by running out the clock and then claim he's a citizen who should not be brought before Congress for inciting sedition?
