Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) walks from Senate Republican weekly policy luncheon on Capitol Hill in Washington
The Republican friend of the president took to the podium to lacerate the selections Wednesday. And he’s not alone.
Rand Paul Goes to War against Pompeo and Haspel
Sen. Rand Paul appeared on the Hill Wednesday to hold an extraordinary press conference. Not only would Paul announce his opposition to Mike Pompeo as secretary of state and Gina Haspel as CIA director, but he also attacked their selections in the most specific terms possible.
“I think it goes against most of the things President Trump campaigned on,” the senator told gathered reporters. “It perplexes me that he is now nominating, for secretary of state, someone who has advocated and pushed for regime change in Iran.” Coupled with Paul’s condemnation of Trump for bringing on “crazy neocons” to staff his administration, it amounted to a Fort Sumter moment for the GOP. Paul is calling out the president not only for failing to deliver on his campaign promises but for delivering the very opposite: a neocon restoration.
