An Open Letter
To: Sen. Paul
From: A verified voter in Lexington, KY
July 15
Your comments to the press, today, were flagrantly hypocritical, don’t you think? Consider:
Trump’s suggestion in 2016 that “Second Amendment people” could solve the problem of Hillary Clinton picking judges;
Election workers bombarded with death threats as Trump lied that the 2020 election was stolen;
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s 2022 campaign video in which she promised to “blow away the Democrats’ socialist agenda” as she took aim with a rifle;
House Republicans wearing AR-15 lapel pins on the floor of Congress;
Republican representatives sending Christmas cards showing the whole family toting guns;
NC Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson said just two weeks ago: “Some folks need killing! It’s time for somebody to say it.”
In March 2024, in Vance’s home state, Trump said: if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole…country”;
Republicans under Trump have increasingly advocated violence as a way to gain power and now YOU, who profess to represent the people of Kentucky, choose to represent only the extremists on the MAGA right. You should be ashamed.
