Rand Paul floats impeaching Chuck Schumer

Trump cultivated and urged the violence that happened in the capitol and resulted in 5 deaths and many injuries. It was a genuine attack against the American government. If they found the politicians, senators and congressmen would have been killed. Trump was lying and stirring up the far right. Trump is responsible for the threat to our government.
There are limits to free speech. Trump passed them.
 
Sen. Rand Paul said if Democrats seek to impeach former President Donald Trump for his rhetoric before the Capitol riot, then they should consider impeaching colleagues such as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer "for inciting violence" in the past.

"I think if we are going to criminalize speech and somehow impeach everybody who says, oh, go fight to hear your voices heard, really we ought to impeach Chuck Schumer then," the Kentucky Republican told Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace. "He went to the Supreme Court, stood in front of the Supreme Court and said specifically, hey [Justice Neil] Gorsuch, hey [Justice Brett] Kavanaugh, you've unleashed a whirlwind, and you're going to pay the price. You won't know what hit you if you continue with these awful decisions."

"This inflammatory wording, this violent rhetoric of Chuck Schumer was so bad that the chief justice, who rarely says anything publicly, immediately said this kind of language is dangerous as a mob tried to invade the Supreme Court," he continued. "So if people want to hold President Trump accountable for language, there has to be a consistent standard, and to my mind, it's a partisan farce because they’re not doing anything to Chuck Schumer, not doing anything to Rep. Omar, not doing anything to Maxine Waters. It's just not fair. It's just partisan politics under a different name." https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/rand-paul-impeach-chuck-schumer

After this comment Schumer was seen pulling a Jerry Nadler and desperately trying to find a gender neutral bathroom.....

What riot did Schumer incite?

I used to both support and like both Pauls. Rand got a raw deal when the far Left shit all over him his CRA comment (which the Democrats deliberately misconstrued).

That said, both of them have gone off their own cliffs; Ron because of elderly dementia and Rand because he drank the Trump Kool-Aid directly from a very small spigot.

All Rand is doing here is pushing even greater heated rhetoric than Schumer's.
 
Paul is right of course.

If we start impeaching people for their rhetoric where does it stop? It’s just the latest instance where democrats frankly don’t GAF about what kind of precedent they set so long as Trump is the target. Who would have thought even Democrats would try and impeach an ex-president? For their rhetoric?

Damnedest thing I’ve ever seen.

so, all those freaks, QAnon stooges, white supremacists, and other trump stooges who attacked the capitol, who killed a cop, who broke into where legislators were making the election legal, to overturn the fair election, threatening the lives of legislators, who NOW SAY TRUMP INCITED THEM TO DO SO AND IS THE REASON WHY.....are lying?

That is impossible Dutch. Democrats have that all sewn up.

Disagreed, sir. It's obvious the Party of Trump can easily match the Democrat's bullshit hot, sloppy cowpie for hot, sloppy cowpie. ;)
 
Perhaps you should read the article.

I did. I don't call this a "riot": "The protesters at those hearings—most of them women, many self-identified survivors of sexual assault—were arrested for transgressions such as shouting out from the gallery, “Kavanaugh can’t be trusted!”

None of his examples fit the description of inciting a riot. It is a very difficult law to prosecute. Trump could be impeached and convicted on political grounds, but I doubt he could be convicted on criminal charges even though his actions come closer than those of Waters, Schumer, Booker...

The riot must be an immediate reaction to a person's speech to take action. Confronting members of Congress or officials in a restaurant were far from "immediate" and happened at a later time. If I tell you to confront officials and you do it tomorrow that is not imminent. And, confronting someone is not necessarily illegal and certainly not "riots."

I will disagree with you there Flash. All of the democrats rhetoric resulted in all the rioting, looting, burning, rape, and murders this summer. The direct consequences of their calls for "action". In addition what they did not do (stop it and allow it to happen) is further proof of their approval of it.

That’s funny, I do believe the majority of Americans thought it was because of four police officers brutally killing a black man in Minneapolis, who knew
