The senator from
Kentucky is a renegade. Countless times
Rand Paul has thrown a monkey wrench into the gears of the Senate with his parliamentary
mischief of filibusters, talk-a-thons, placing holds on nominations and
objections to unanimous consents.
My chief complaint with
Paul stems from the time he said
he could not in good conscience vote to confirm Mike Pompeo as Secretary of
State. “I could not support appointing
him as CIA Director in 2017, and for the same reasons, I will oppose his
nomination to be our chief diplomat now.”
He continued,
“Having received assurances from President Trump and Director Pompeo that he
agrees with the President on these important issues, I have decided to support
his nomination to be our next Secretary of State.”
Most recently, Paul
criticized the President’s decision to kill IRGC madman Qassem Soleimani
saying, “You’d have to be brain-dead to believe that we tear up the [JCPOA]
agreement, we put an embargo on you and we kill your major general, and they’re
just going to crawl back to the table and say, ‘What do you want, America?'”
If Jekyll and Hyde had
a problem separating his good self from his bad impulses, good Rand Paul
stepped forward yesterday to say he will force a vote on subpoenaing Hunter
Biden and the whistleblower if Democrats insist on hearing from senior Trump
Administration officials John Bolton and Mick Mulvaney. He explained, “If you vote against Hunter
Biden, you’re voting to lose your election, basically. If you don’t want to vote and you think you’re
going to have to vote against Hunter Biden, you should just vote against
witnesses, period.”
He was warning
Murkowski (R-AK), Romney (R-UT) and Collins (R-ME) they would be torpedoing
their re-election chances by crossing party lines making Schmuck Schumer’s job
of winning the Senate for Democrats in 2020 easier and guaranteeing an
impeachment that will never end.
