No, it doesn’t shock me. Rand Paul is consistent and passionate about his abhorrence of global warmongering, whomever the President is. What’s a shame is that he messed up the primary campaign by being anti-Trump. RP should’ve instead listened to why people were supporting DJT. RP’s posture made him seem like part of the establishment.
RP is admitting by his actions that he is a liberal at heart. His convictions and principles matter more to him than fact checking.
This belief structure is what makes Rand Paul & Liberals so dangerous. They inflame hearts and minds with noble rhetoric while misrepresenting the facts out of ignorance or more likely because the facts do not serve their agenda. They gain power by deception and lead America into its own destruction. Think Global Warming, think Diversity is Strength - sound so noble but lies at the core peddled, in self service, causing misery and disruption of lives and society. Rand Paul is not working for Americans or America by being disingenuous.
