Rand Paul slams Lindsey Graham: Been wrong about every foreign policy decision of the last 2 decades

Rand Paul sharply criticized fellow Senate Republican Lindsey Graham for suggesting that U.S. troops should remain in northern Syria.

"Lindsey Graham has been wrong about almost every foreign policy decision of the last two decades," the Kentucky senator said during a Tuesday morning appearance on MSNBC. "He was wrong about the Iraq War. The Iraq War was a mistake. It made Iran stronger, allowed more chaos, more instability, and more terrorism. He was wrong about the war in Libya. It lead to more chaos and more terrorism. He is wrong about this."

Paul was referring to tweets from the South Carolina senator that condemned the White House's decision to remove U.S. troops from northern Syria.

"Our southern border should be our LAST line of defense against radical Islam. Our FIRST line of defense is the U.S. military working with partners in radical Islam’s backyard keeping them over there so they can’t hurt us here at home or hurt our allies like Israel," Graham said on Monday. "This is the exact thinking of the previous Administration — leave them alone and let others do our work. It led to the rise of ISIS! Didn’t work then. Won’t work now."

List of grievances:

1) War (especially undeclared)
2) Debt slavery https://usdebtclock.org
3) Aiding and abetting invaders who harm our citizens...

100) (Your list may vary)

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Interestingly, Rand has no opinion on how Graham is running or should I say not running the Senate Judiciary committee that he chairs.

Graham is also wrong about amnesty.
He has voted THREE times to give the Democrats a permanent majority.
We should not give him the chance to try for FOUR.

He STILL wants to give illegal aliens amnesty and our country.

It was interesting that Rand was the only one to ask Hillary about this during the hearings. They all knew and were absolutely complicit.

“Our southern border should be our LAST line of defense”

No wonder he didn’t want to secure our borders all those years and still kind of doesn’t. Our southern border is the LAST thing on his mind. First thing on Lindsey’s mind is Turkey’s border.

I think Graham will come around okay, but it’ll take some time to neutralize McCain’s influence over him.

Trump just called out Graham for not investigating the 2016 corruption

Trump said Lindsey wants us fighting in the Middle East forever. Trump says he doubts the people of South Carolina want that

Right on the money, It was obvious to some. The “some” is the problem.

Trump giving a press conference right now, tearing into some fake news ABC reporter who brought up Lindsey Graham’s name about leaving Syria. Hope Linda was listening. Trump tarred and feathered him. Hopefully Graham will realize who the president is.

Don’t fall for the McCain two-step that Graham is doing. He learned from the master. How many times did McCain get re-elected after amnesty votes?
As soon as Graham is re-elected he will be pushing amnesty again.
He’s done it THREE times already.
He is not going to change his spots, no matter how much you wish he would.

The US government murders leaders of other countries when it wants, topples governments when it can, and then cries like a baby when some Russians post a few Facebook ads.

The people of South Carolina have to stop electing Cheap Labor Express stooges that want to give away their country.
Their entire Congressional delegation is that way.
Bush League Republicans have a stranglehold on the SC GOP.

That’s the problem - the Republican Senators who should be vocally defending Trump are instead terrified that their own misdeeds might come to light.

Did Rand oppose going into Afghanistan after 9/11? Remember his father said that the Bush Admin had glee in their eyes on 9/11?

I despise Rand a little less than most of the political pustules that infest DeeCee.
