Seems like a stretch to call that a group of black anything. I see one guy and maybe another in the shadows.

and it's foolish not to recognize this. He makes sense in many ways, which explains his appeal. Trying to make sense of criminal justice rules is smart.

He's lying to those people, telling them what he thinks they want to hear.
Rand Paul is a consummate liar, fraud, fake, charlatan, and douche bag . . . all rolled into one.

He's trying to build up some momentum in order to make a run for the White House next year.
While simultaneously running for re-election of his Senate seat.

I think, can't tell really. Lots of empty seats...so that is a liberal black audience. Hmm. Professor Frump looks really boring. I bet he would put a classroom to sleep.

I can't remember, is THIS the moron that said military drones would be awesome for killing people that rob gas stations? It's so hard to seperate the clown tent...so many insanely evil clowns in the Republican party now.

And the standing ovation was from the Gang of White Privilege that tends to support his "vision"...?

Had to click anyway and was surprised to see this headline was serious.
