This happened at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee hearing this morning, at which the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, was being dragged forth to testify about all the nefarious practices that company was engaged in as a part of its attempts to avoid paying taxes.

If that sounds like a witch hunt to you – Democrat Senators who a year or two ago were demanding that the IRS commence to persecuting conservative activists are now convening a kangaroo court to attack a major American corporation for its efforts at avoiding taxation – you’re not alone.

Paul got hold of the microphone, and he let loose a four-minute diatribe for the ages about the injustice of the hearing and the root cause – the abysmal tax code cooked up by politicians in Washington. This one’s likely to go viral.
