Rand Paul actually said...

"This proceeding, which would try a private citizen and not a president, a vice president or civil officer violates the constitution and is not an order."

"Where is the constitutional power to impeach him? Private citizens don’t get impeached. Impeachment is for removal from office."

"If 34 people support my resolution that this is an unconstitutional proceeding, it shows, they don’t have the votes to convict and we’re wasting our time."

"The lesson of these wars is that regime change does not work."
