Rand Paul Attacks ‘Guttersnipe’ Jon Stewart in 9/11 Fund Fight: Used to See Through BS, ‘Now He is the BS’

By Joe DePaoloJul 18th, 2019, 5:45 pm

Rand Paul, who has been torn to shreds for impeding the progress of the 9/11 funding bill, is vigorously defending himself — arguing that he’s just looking out for the budget. And, in the process, he’s going after 9/11 fund advocate Jon Stewart.

In a fiery interview on Fox News Thursday, the Kentucky senator absolutely tore into the former Daily Show host for — as he sees it — distorting his position.

“It’s really disgusting,” Paul said. “He pretended for years when he was on his comedy show to be somebody that could be both sides and see through the BS. Now he is the B.S.” Paul accused Stuart of lying about his stance — insisting that he simply wants to debate the spending measure and is not blocking it.

“Jon Stewart can’t just have a free pass to lie to people,” Paul said. “Think he’s a celebrity and think facts don’t matter … Here’s Jon Stewart making up his own facts so he can feel good about himself, and we shouldn’t let it stand.”

Paul added, “People need to wake up and not be so, sort of overwhelmed by celebrity that they take out-and-out falsehoods and ad hominem attacks from — really a guttersnipe like Jon Stewart.”

1. Memo to Rand:

Targeting Jon Stewart is equivalent to attacking the heroes of 9-11, those who rushed in to save lives at the peril of their own.

Don't you have a staff who explains this to you?

2. If Rand were consistent with his actions, he might've gotten the benefit of the doubt.

But he only pulls this "balance the budget" argument out when it comes to spending for social programs. Does he ever do the same for our bloated military budget or subsidies to big businesses, corporations? He's still just a republican at heart (cold-hearted, that is).

3. Rand Paul is an idiot

4. Ad Hominem against a comedian? You're going to lose, Randy

The Daily Show mainly saw through Republican BS, because most BS is Republican.

Where was your concern for the budget when you voted for the Tax Scam?

5. Ahhh Rand, good little Russian tool. Doing his best at projection.

6. That would make all of the 1st responders that

Jon advocates for/with guttersnipes as well. Aynrand is a cockroach.

7. Don't poke the Wolverine with a stick

Didn't their parents teach these Republicans anything?

He is trying to punch way above his clase and is about to get mailed by an unrelenting for.
