Sen. Rand Paul harshly criticized sen. John McCain during a Monday morning interview on “The Mike Gallagher Show.”
“There’s been a long standing tradition that when you go over sees you don’t toady up to the sort of socialists in Europe and you say, ‘oh they look down their nose at us and they think they’re better than us,'” the Kentucky Republican stated. “He goes over there and criticizes the president.”
“Look I will have disagreements with the president, but I will support him when he’s conservative,” he told Gallagher. “I think most of the policies that have come out so far have been conservative policies. It’s the most conservative cabinet in my lifetime. Scott Pruit at the EPA is better than any president — including Reagan — has picked to be head the EPA.”

Anyone else notice Ran has been defending Trump quite a bit..
McCain needs to go!
Eastern Kentucky and West Virginia is probably the most pro-Trump area of the entire country.
McCain makes me sick.
Rand Paul is sticking up for Trump because Trump stuck up for the coal industry.
Lindsay will come to his aid, in 3, 2, 1 .... roll em
Logan Act violation ?
And thank you, Senator Paul! It is shocking to me that more members of the Senate aren’t asking for discipline on McCain for making nasty remarks about Trump in Germany! Hey, McCain, got a problem with your President? Take it to the President!
“Rand Paul is sticking up for Trump because Trump stuck up for the coal industry.”
Yes he did, so the help is well deserved.
McCain, Graham, Rubio, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, Alexander and Flake all need to go.
They all voted for the Gang of Amnesty.

Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) ripped fellow Republican Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) on Sunday after McCain criticized President Trump’s escalating war of words with the media.
He argued that the nation is “very lucky” that Trump is president and not McCain, who won the 2008 GOP nomination but lost to Barack Obama in the general election.
Paul argued that McCain has a history of being wrong major foreign policy questions.
“I would say John McCain’s been wrong on just about everything over the last four decades. He advocated for the Iraq War, which I think destabilized the Middle East,” he said.
“If you look at the map, there’s probably at least six different countries where John McCain has advocated for us having boots on the ground,” he added.

Rand and Trump are aligned on many issues, have been for a long time
Yeah. It seems to have started when McCain was in Europe and the MidEast, foaming at the mouth. It's also about the time when a lot of the "anonymous sources" intel disappeared. Something happened at that time that really, really turned Senator Paul around.
One can't help but connect the dots. JMHO
I love Rand!
“Playing footsies” with Europe! Boy if that doesn’t paint the picture!
yup, i’m keeping score. Rand has done well but Cruz has been the best to date (shockingly, at least to me)
Rand Paul has always been a GOP outsider (even a lot of people on FR call him and his father “kooks”) so therefore he knows very well what its like to have the vast apparatus of government, and political fashion, against you.
So Rand Paul has been through it all before, and is not afraid to defend Trump when he is being unfairly treated, particularly for purely corrupt and partisan reasons.
What I don’t get is that he’d make a complete a&^ out of himself for.....???? what?
There is nothing and no one in Europe whose worth covering yourself with s*&t for!
Thanks.
Please keep reminding us when one of these rectums tries to stab our president in the back!
McCain, Graham, Rubio, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, Alexander and Flake all need to go.
