The Covid-19 lockdowns have really begun to sort the wheat from the chaff in the Republican party. We can now see which Republicans stand for freedom, like Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and Ron DeSantis, and which Republicans live in fear of either Covid or how the media will treat them in their response to Covid, like Asa Hutchison, Kay Ivey, and Larry Hogan.
Today on his YouTube channel, Rand "William Wallace" Paul published a 3 and a half minute video explaining why now is the time to choose freedom.
I just absolutely love how Rand Paul starts his address: "It's time for us to resist. They can't arrest all of us!" 😆
You know things are about to get spicy when this is how the video starts.
"We don't have to accept the mandates, lockdowns and harmful policies of the petty tyrants and bureaucrats. We can simply say 'no, not again.'
"Speaker Nancy Pelosi — you will not arrest or stop me or anyone on my staff from doing our jobs. We have all either had COVID, had the vaccine, or been offered the vaccine. We will make our own health choices. We will not show you a passport, we will not wear a mask, we will not be forced into random screening and testing so you can continue your drunk with power rein over the Capitol.
"President Biden — we will not accept your agencies' mandates or your reported moves toward a lockdown. No one should follow the CDC's anti-science mask mandates. And if you want to shutdown federal agencies again — some of which aren't even back to work fully — I will stop every bill coming through the Senate with an amendment to cut their funding if they don't come to work."
Absolute fire from the Senator. Straight up calling out Pelosi, Biden, and the CDC as power-hungry "petty tyrants."
Rand goes on to talk about specific actions he would take as a senator to prevent further overreach and laziness from the government bureaucrats.
Then he ends the video with a call to action. And it is so invigoratingly patriotic.
"I have been telling everyone for a year now that Dr. Anthony Fauci and other public health officials were NOT following science, and I've been proven right time and time again.
"But I'm not the only one who is fed up. I can't go anywhere these days — from work, to events, to airports and Ubers, restaurants and stores, without people coming up to me thanking me for standing up for them.
"For standing up for actual science. For standing up for freedom. For standing against mandates, lockdowns, and bureaucratic power grabs.
"I think the tide has turned, and more and more people are willing to stand up. I see stories from across the country of parents standing up to teacher unions and school boards.
"I see members of Congress refusing to comply with Petty Tyrant Pelosi.
"We are at a moment of truth and a crossroads. Will we allow these people to use fear and propaganda to do further harm to our society, economy, and children?
"Or will we stand together and say, absolutely not. Not this time. I choose freedom."
