Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is calling for across-the-board defiance of future Covid-19 mitigation measures implemented by the CDC — including mask mandates and any potential lockdowns.

In a wild rant posted to Twitter Sunday, the Kentucky senator — speaking direct-to-camera before a dark blue backdrop — railed against the "petty tyrants and bureaucrats" implementing new mandates.

"It's time for us to resist," Paul said. "They can't arrest all of us. They can't keep all of your kids home from school. … 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."
