The officer ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚbriefly stumbles and regains his footing.
A woman can be heard shouting at Paul: “Her name is Breonna Taylor!”
“Just got attacked by an angry mob of over 100, one block away from the White House,” Paul .
“Thank you to @DCPoliceDept for literally saving our lives from a crazed mob.”
The senator and hi𝓡s wife did not appear to be injured.
