Russian Rand Paul

#RussianRandPaul delivered talking points straight from Putin this week in an attempt to justify Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Why doesn't Paul write a bill giving Alaska back to his mother Russia since they owned it at one time. That would be fun. Vote this clown out, please.

Paul is sounding a lot like a Russian operative and this should embarrass the people of Kentucky
who chose him to represent them.

When I first heard that Mr. Paul was beaten up by his neighbor I was outraged that such a thing could happen. Then I started listening to Mr. Paul's rants and his fondness for the enemies of the United States. Now I'm surprised that Mr. Paul isn't beaten up on a regular basis.

Sleeper Agent Paul….McCain was spot on with his suspicions about him.

We in Germany have the same Putin-appreciating, even Putin-loving, parts of society.
Ukraine wanted join NATO 2008 and at this point in time it was a real perspective, and I am ashamed to say that my government as the French, refused to let them join.
Nothing of today's gruesome and unhumane events would have happened if the wish of the sovereign nation of Ukraine was granted back then.

By Rand Paul's logic, England would be perfectly within its rights to invade the USA. We are, after all, originally English colonies.

Not that Ukraine was a Russian colony. It's got a long and complex history as a nation that extends back to the 10th century. Ukraine predates Russia as a nation. That they were subjugated by the USSR for a while doesn't change that.

Kentucky, like many other southern states, owes us many explanations as to why they keep electing these specimens that fail every test of decency, class, and patriotism.

If only John McCain were still alive & still a Senator. Lindsey Graham would not be Donalds best friend & others would think before talking publicly

[lilac]

What were the voters in Kentucky thinking!!! He's an embarrassment to himself, his family, his voters and the United States of America!

[mistery-ed]

When the hell will this traitor be kicked out of congress?

[johnviewpoint]

The 2 US senators from Kentucky and Trump seem to be on friendly terms with Putin.

[FirewindII]

Sen. McCain said that back when most of us thought Paul was just looney tunes.
Now we see how far ahead of the curve Sen. McCain was.

So much for being a Libertarian like he claims he is. The Libertarian view is that Ukraine should decide for itself without intimidation.

[reho]

Comrade Paul and Comrade Trump. Birds of a feather...and let's not forget Greene and the others who have voted to support Russia directly or indirectly.

[mariamarian]

Yes!! This is awesome!! Show this on prime times!! Everyone in America needs to see the real Ran Paul
Thank you Lincoln project!!

[kbone]

To keep it strategically SIMPLE, I will vote AGAINST each and every single candidate that has NOT openly denounced the Trump movement. That said, I will vote FOR any person who has the GREATEST CHANCE of defeating that candidate. This is an all out battle at the ballot box for our country in its existential threat from autocratic rule by insane people with zero heart and soul. I recommend you do the same.

[freedomstar]

I’m sensing a lot of similarities between the Right Wing advocates in Russia and America.

[julesl]

These need to be out on mainstream television so EVERYONE CAN SEE THEM.

[michaelSlick]

I always think badly of Rand, but he is so much worse. Thank you for putting light on these things to get him out of office.

[barbaralemons]

Amazing how blind to decency, loyalty to your sworn oath, and patriotism an eye doctor can be.
