Protesters shouted Breonna Taylor's name and demanded justice as they encircled Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. He called them an 'angry mob.'
who he said threatened his life as he was heading back to his hotel in Washington D.C. from the White House following the conclusion of the Republican National Convention.
Protesters took to the street in the nation's capital Thursday evening as President Donald Trump gave his nomination acceptance speech from the South Lawn of the White House. Paul, an attendee of the Republican National Convention, gave a speech on Tuesday in support of Trump's reelection. In the videos, police formed a perimeter around the Pauls, telling protesters"move back." At one point, an officer appears to be pushed and almost falls, with Paul appearing to catch him.
Paul was not alone in being confronted by protesters: Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones, a Democrat who endorsed Trump at the convention, and Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., were also approached as police separated protesters from them."It's one of the beautiful things about America, that everybody's allowed to voice their opinion," he said. "It's what soldiers fight for."
