Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., attacked by a mob outside the White House after President Trump's Republican National Convention speech Aug. 27, 2020 (@bgonthescene)
If not for the police, Sen. Rand Paul says he and his wife might have been killed last night in an attack by a violent mob of as many as 120 on a Washington, D.C., street as they left the White House after President Trump's nomination speech.
"I truly believe this with every fiber of my being, had they gotten at us they would have gotten us to the ground," he said in an interview Friday morning with "Fox & Friends."
"We might not have been killed," he said, "but might just have been injured by being kicked in the head, or kicked in the stomach until we were senseless."
The Kentucky senator said the incident was "horrific," with a growing mob "shouting threats to us, to kill us, to hurt us, but also threats ... shouting 'say her name,' Breonna Taylor."
