Sen. Rand Paul on Pandemic Lockdowns: ‘It’s Time for Us to Resist’

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who has repeatedly rebuked health officials for giving anti-science guidance throughout the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, called for Americans to stand up to “petty tyrants” using “fear and propaganda” to control society.

“It’s time for us to resist. They can’t arrest all of us,” Paul said in a video posted to Twitter on Sunday.”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.”

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. pic.twitter.com/XrI2tjdAHW
