Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., on Sunday sought a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation into who’s funding recent violent protests that have sprung up across the country, reiterating statements made by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who was recently attacked while leaving President Trump’s nomination acceptance speech Thursday at the White House.
Buck had first addressed the issue after Paul and his wife Kelley were accosted while returning from the speech Thursday, on the way back to their hotel.
"If the Tea Party threatened a Democratic Senator and assaulted police officers like this, it would be leading CNN," the Colorado Republican wrote on Friday. "Every conservative politician would be asked to condemn it. Where is the outrage?"
Paul commented on the issue in an opinion piece for Fox News published on Saturday.
He revealed some of the protesters were actually staying in the same hotel -- and on the same floor -- as he and his wife. Some were even as close as the next room.
"They were talking about their mob activities and even saying they thought we were here on this floor," Paul wrote. "We had to develop a 3 a.m. plan with Capitol Police to get to safety." CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
