Paul thanked the DC police following the incident.
Just got attacked by an angry mob of over 100, one block away from the White House. Thank you to @DCPoliceDept for literally saving our lives from a crazed mob.

Former combat veteran Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) was also harassed by a group of protesters who began to aggressively ask what he thinks of police killing black men in America, to which he replied that any killing was unfortunate. To the surprise of no one, they were not satisfied with his answer.

At one point, a bus full of RNC attendees was forced to turn around, only to have protesters jump onto it, and a woman open the rear door and jump inside.
