Rand Paul Says Joe Biden's Speech Was 'Innuendo Calling Us White Supremacists'

Republican Senator Rand Paul has said that President Joe Biden's call for an end to lies in public discourse was a veiled accusation of racism towards people like him who held different political views.
-snip-
But Paul took exception to Biden's speech, telling Fox News: "Much of it is thinly veiled innuendo calling us white supremacists, calling us racists, calling us every name in the book, calling us people who don't tell the truth."
-snip-
Mimicking the new president's words, the Kentucky lawmaker continued: " Biden said) 'going forward we are not going to have manufactured or manipulated truth'that's another way of saying, 'all of my opponents manufacture and manipulate the truth and are liars.
"He just said it in a nicer way but that really was the gist of what he was telling us," said Paul, who also reiterated in the interview his call for Biden to reject Trump's impeachment which he believed is "just going to divide the country further."
Uh, Sen Paul, that was not innuendo, he was being civil. We all knew it and your racist supporters know it and have no problem with it. The very best way to stop being identified as racist is to put your racism behind you.
Part of the problem for Rand is he doesn't think of it as racism, he just holds "different political views".

Also, I'm getting really tired of white supremacists
co-opting Biden's words and changing them into
something else.
I didn't listen to that and think he was talking about Rand Paul, until now...

(5,201 posts)The republicans said the virus was a hoax, after a briefing about how dangerous it was and then began to profit by buying stocks in companies that would be in the supply chain. 9 months later no plan and almost a half million dead, the lie switched to "stop the steal", and an insurrection was incited full of white supremacists and separatists groups.
The republican party, if it continues down this path of lies and obstruction, will cease to to exist. Stop lying and do your JOB the people sent you to do!

As a person who also suffers from a speech impediment, it's difficult enough to express ourselves in plain speech, so we rarely play games.

(57,240 posts)... he had all he could stands and he couldn't stands no more. And Rand went all "my neck, my neck, my neck" on him.
It shouldn't have happened, and I bet this whole this whole magilla is still giving him grief.
