Rand Paul Tries to Have Abby Martin Fired From RT

updated below

(WAC NYC) 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. 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.

For those who are still uncertain that Rand Paul is a full-fledged Neocon Republican, this should remove all doubt.

I'm glad that Abby Martin is taking over Alyona's show and will make it her own. I'm very disappointed in Alyona and Rand, both sellouts.

I believe justice will prevail as long as the People Truly step up to the plate and take no excuses. Once anyone in Government is caught doing anything sneaky, underhanded or caught in a lie of illegal dealings. His career is at that moment OVER!!!!!
