Luke Rudkowski talks with Abby Martin of MediaRoots.org and RT about
U.S. Senator Rand Paul's attempt to get her arrested and stripped of
her press credentials for asking him tough questions in the Capitol
building. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtO5I... A week after our video with Abby Martin came out on YouTube,
the RT office, where Abby works, got an ominous phone call from the
Senate Media Relations Committee. The Committee was acting on behalf
of Rand Paul and threatened both Abby and the entire RT news
organization. The threats included ambiguous "charges" for violating
the rules of the Committee floor, Abby's possible arrest and the
termination of her and the entire office's press credentials.

After a month of meetings and deliberation, the Senate Media Relations
office backed down and did not make good on any of their threats.

Keep asking him make the heinous little twat sorry. This arse and many like him are runnin our country, what a fuckin joke.

    It is not unimportant to want to question the people in power. Sitting back an giving people carte blanche to shit on us is why we are being suppressed to start with.

    //Weak//

    Who was Rand Paul supposed to endorse? Obama? Obama is the only other candidate besides Romney that had a chance to win in 2012.

    Rand is one of the only decent Senators in America.

    Why don't you interview the hundreds of paid stooges in the corrupt Democrat or establishment Republican parties. There are so many you can't list them all...

    I really like rand paul, but I don't think he should have tried to get this reporter fired.

    Rand Paul wasted his 15 hour filibuster against drones by approving the use of a drone if it took out a thief robbing a liquor store. What's that say?
