Rand Paul Is Only Lawmaker Who Refused To Stand, Applaud Jeff Flake Trashing POTUS
GP ^ | 10/24/17 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 10/24/2017 5:57:59 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Senator Jeff Flake (R-AZ) gave a bridge burning speech on the Senate floor after news broke that he will not seek re-election in 2018. According to Daily Beast reporter Andrew Desiderio, every lawmaker who attended the speech , both Democrats and Republicans, stood and clapped for Flake — except Rand Paul.

 

The KY lawmaker didn’t see the virtue in trashing Trump as tax reform is on the table.

Trump hater and RINO Jeff Flake trashed the Republican party and POTUS Trump on his way out the door!

“All stood and clapped after Flake’s speech—except @RandPaul,” tweeted Desiderio.

Good riddance! We don’t need Democrat allies like Flake in the Senate.

Thank you, Senator Paul. We need term limits on the Senate. 2 Six year terms you’re done.

Great job, Sen. Paul. Although I sometime wonder where you’re coming from, you do have balls.

I’ve always said McCain will go out with a tag on his toe.

Paul is a man of honor who recognizes inauthentic actions of those who have, for two presidential terms, ignored and refused to condemn the actions of an Administration which, though polite and proper in most public utterings, was presiding over the almost complete dismantling of the principles underlying the U. S. Constitution’s protections for individual liberty and restrained government power.

That’s one. I’m not gonna assume he’s all in team Trump just yet. He’ll be the fly in the ointment again at some point most likely.

Where were Corker and Flake during the 8 years of near total destruction during Obama? Talk about a liar-jeesh. Why didn’t McConnell censure them like he did Pocahontas? I thought there were rules in Congress that didn’t allow these tirades. These two are so jealous of Trump that they can’t see anything but hate.

The world’s most exclusive club. And they will do anything they can to let the deplorables have a seat.

Not sure he's correct. Per Huffpost reporter:

Igor Bobic‏Verified account @igorbobic
McCain, Corker and Barrasso stand and applaud Flake’s speech. McConnell, Rand, Sasse, Risch also sat and listened.

Anyway, hardly anyone there for his speech.

I didn’t click on the link. Did cRuz and Lee also stand for #SnowFlake’s insipid retirement speech?

So, not that many Senators even showed up for this crybaby speech? I’d love to see a roll call.

Midge showed his slip, again, I hear.
