Rand Paul Opposition to Previous Disaster Relief Resurfaces as He Seeks Aid for Kentucky

In a statement to Newsweek Sunday morning, Kelsey Cooper, a spokesperson for Senator Paul, wrote: "Kentuckians across the commonwealth are suffering and grieving today. This tragedy is uniting everyone around the common goal of helping and healing. Politicizing that suffering would be low for even the deepest partisan, yet here the corporate media is trying to do exactly that. Newsweek should be ashamed of themselves."

1. Hypocrisy is what they're best at.

That and fascism.

[XanaDUer2]

2. Is this being reported anywhere?

I'd love to see this on Joy Reid

[KPN]

14. How about CBS, ABC, NBC and FOX evening news?

Fat chance. The media are not our friend, yet the Repugs have successfully painted them as so for at least half, if not the majority, of all Americans.

22. Actually it was, last night,

it was either CNN or MSNBC. They had on Russell Honore' who ran the disaster relief for Katrina. The reporter questioned him for a while about what needed done. She was ready to move on and thank him when he butted in and said that Mitch McConnell should take Rand Paul under his wing to push for supplemental funding for this tornado because he held that funding up for Katrina for a year. The reporter was a bit stunned, had no reply but to thank Honore'

3. FU Rand Paul and your libertarian BS.....you should forfeit your taxpayer funded salary

to help out with the Kentuckians and their misery from your hypocrisy, why aren't you out there with hat and gloves on removing the debris, that would save some money from the federal taxpayers that will be bailing your state out, see the logic........

[FakeNoose]

4. Libertarian Rand Paul is lucky there's a Democrat in the White House

President Biden is not a Scrooge. Help is coming for Kentuckians who were injured or who lost property in the recent storms.

5. Dotard would send paper towels

[Joinfortmill]

6. A flaming asshole.

[tclambert]

7. Hey, Rand, when you became a doctor, that was the Hippocratic Oath you swore,

not the hypocritical oath. I know it's easy to confuse them, but they are two different things.

[calimary]

21. When he became a "doctor."

Having certified himself.

A complete louse of a “human being.”

[patphil]

8. Take care of your own, and F**k everyone else.

After all, he's only a US Senator in name. He certainly doesn't represent the entire nation...just the people who can vote for him.

[AllaN01Bear]

9. yes, senator ? ahem.

[gademocrat7]

10. One of the worst rethugs in office.

[louis-t]

11. No Rand, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Asshole. Hey, any of your neighbors punched you in the face lately?

[KPN]

12. Too bad our MSM ignore these facts ... all the time

and every time.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

13. I posted this photo on FB.

I have a friend who moved to Paducah. This storm missed her.

[SpankMe]

15. The man's a pure turd

He's also engaging in PSYOPs. By sending such a letter to POTUS before POTUS actually signs off the aid (which will inevitably occur) he can claim that he is the one that caused the aid to happen - and any non-thinker (about 60% of the population) will believe it.

In addition to being hypocrites and unswerving assholes, Republicans take credit for things they didn't do - even good things that they're on record as opposing.

[DENVERPOPS]

25. Good thing

Putin, Russian Oligarchs, and Mitch McConnell hadn't opened their Russian aluminum mill in Kentucky yet........

[PatrickforB]

16. Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but Rand Paul is a dirtbag.

He really is.

[Schmice3]

17. Hypocritical swine

[Cyrano]

18. Hurray for me, Fuck everyone else

That seems to be who and what he is.

[PurgedVoter]

19. Rand Paul, the man who has politicised everything.

Rand Paul, so easy to predict. Just ask what side a wealthy sociopath would stand. He will be in the center of that argument.

[twodogsbarking]

20. I am thankful to not be his neighbor.

[Justice matters.]

23. Yet, a majority of voting Kentuckians will keep on voting for that POS next

time he's up on their ballots... Go figure!

[SergeStorms]

24. At times like this....

I wish I was Rand Paul's neighbor, so I could punch him in his stupid looking face. 🥊

[The Wizard]

26. Investigate his ties to Putin.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

27. Not surprising for

An Ayn Randian scumbag acolyte.

[liberal N proud]

28. It the perfect metaphor for republicanism

For trumpism and conservatism in general.

It selfishness!

They don’t want anyone else to get anything. They are the only ones deserving of anything.

And they claim they are Christian

[TallMike]

29. oh yeah

you are also a giant twat.

[Hassler]

30. Ayn Paul's neighbor was railroaded.

[keithbvadu2]

31. Shouldn't Rand be on his way to Cancun?

[orangecrush]

32. We are better than them

My. heart goes out to all affected by the horror and destruction.

[The Jungle 1]

33. Just so we are clear

I want to help states that have had a disaster.
I also want America to remember that many states did not want to help the northeast after Sandy. They said we were on our own!
I want that understood and remembered!
Rand Paul is a pile of puke.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

34. Rand Paul talks through his ass

That is all.
