Mob Accosting Rand Paul Demanded He Acknowledge Breonna Taylor. He Authored The Jutsice For Breonna Taylor Act

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who told Fox News Friday morning that he believes he would be dead if police had not formed a barrier between his family and RNC protesters, was the subject of obsessive jeers deriding him for failing to acknowledge the death of Breonna Taylor, a Louisville EMT who was shot and killed in her own apartment by Louisville police allegedly acting on a bad warrant.

There is just one problem: Rand is the author of the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act, which goes further than even Democrat efforts to reform the police, essentially outlawing no-knock warrants like the one executed the night Taylor was killed.

As the Daily Wire reported Thursday night, CBS News captured the interaction between Paul and the protesters, who can be heard on camera shouting “Say her name!” and demanding that he acknowledge Taylor’s death. When Paul remained silent, protesters jeered him with chants of, “White silence is violence!”

But as Paul pointed out in his interview Friday, he is not just a sponsor, but the author of S. 3955, the “Justice for Breonna Taylor Act” which, according to the text of the bill, eliminates the practice of executing no-knock warrants.
