Compulsive Liar Rand Paul Denies Opposing Disaster Relief For Any States..... Ever

[634-5789]

Compulsive Liar Rand Paul ran to Fox News' America Reports to bitch, moan, and complain after being criticized by many others for attacking federal disaster relief for other states and then demanding the same relief for his state of when Kentucky was hit with a massive tornado tragedy.

LIAR RAND PAUL: "I've never had a problem with the program. Have never really opposed disaster relief for any part of the country," he lied. Yes, yes he did. He opposed relief for Hurricane Sandy, Hurricane Harvey, and California's fire relief.

The LA Times' Michael Hiltzik reports, "On disaster aid, Paul voted against a 2013 bill to aid victims of Hurricane Sandy, and earlier this year blocked accelerated passage of the Gulf Coast Hurricane Aid Act, a measure to aid victims of the storms in Louisiana. It’s still pending."

Some of us remember that...and the other assorted lies that Paul is famous for.

1. His voting record is public.

[MagickMuffin]

2. Can't hide from your voting record Bucko.

Rand you VOTED against the relief programs.

But you said this on Fox so you're good. No viewer would bother to check your voting record.

[gratuitous]

3. Okay, so he voted against disaster relief, but he didn't REALLY vote against it

And that's good enough for the people of Kentucky.

5. Exactly! The KY rubes just keep falling for his BS.

[Bayard]

7. Well, thanks for that

From a Kentucky rube.

Rand Paul, like McConnell, is an embarrassment. Many of us, including a number on this board, hate both of them.

14. I apologize if you took it in that way.

[Corgigal]

15. Hey ya

This will be my first time voting against Rand Paul, it’s so exciting. They live to say no, I will on that day.

We have more registrations for Dems , last I checked a year or so ago, hope they show up.

16. Don't feel bad

I've got Rubio and Scott...

Before that it was Cornyn and Cruz

[NJCher]

25. if you're on DU

you can't be a rube. Mutually exclusive.

This is an APPLE.

See this long yellow curved thingy with a thicker srub of a stem at one end?

This is also an apple."

6. Typical Libertarian.

All the benefits of a civilized society, none of the responsibility-until it hits too close to home.

[MurrayDelph]

10. Today's because Libertarians

believe they are entitled based on their obvious superiority and everyone else are equally-obvious, undeserving freeloaders.

9. He's a spoiled little rich punk who can't take a punch. nt

[MyOwnPeace]

11. You got THAT right.......

Just ask his neighbor!!!!

[Traildogbob]

13. Of course he ran

To the network of lies. That’s the GQP game. One play. Most sports teams can defeat a team with one play. What the hell is wrong with our team. I know, the refs are paid off and the only flags thrown are in our faces. When the asses speak, our team needs to employ instant reply. Video proof, and instantly!!!!!

[IronLionZion]

12. As if there aren't recordings of his many speeches blocking aid for other states

after hurricanes and other natural disasters. Even red states like Louisiana and Florida. What an asshole

[Justice matters.]

22. Here:

He probably was just "joking"...

Don't they know there are "tapes"???

[RANDYWILDMAN]

17. he is a public POS and that is on record!

[LudwigPastorius]

18. He's a sentient sack of shit topped with a dead rodent pelt.

[Jilly_in_VA]

21. I think

that's a pubic hair transplant. Not from him, of course.

[LittleGirl]

19. It doesn't matter until it happens to them, eom

[Jilly_in_VA]

20. It's on the record, you idiot!

[BeckyDem]

23. What I would give to see him defeated.

Stingy creepy bastard who goes out of his way to malign Fauci too.

[BlueIdaho]

24. His voting record is not the problem.

His ability to look straight into the camera lens and blatantly lie to the American people is the real problem. We need to demand nothing but the truth from our elected officials!

[standingtall]

26. I would bet if the bulk of the damage of the storm would've hit Louisville or Lexington

instead of a small town in Western Kentucky where people probably vote for him in heavy numbers, then he would still be against disaster aid.

27. I remember when Peter King (R-NY2) blasted him for voting against the aid

Rep. Peter King fires back following Sen. Rand Paul's comments on Superstorm Sandy aid

By: News 12 Staff Jul 30, 2013, 1:23am Updated on: Dec 15, 2021

Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford) fired back today after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) accused King and Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) of demanding too much aid following Superstorm Sandy.

"They are 'Gimme, gimme, gimme all my Sandy money now.' Those are the people who are bankrupting the government and not allowing enough money be left over for national defense," Paul said.

King says Long Island was hit with one of the worst natural disasters in history when Sandy struck last October. It took three months for New York and New Jersey to receive $61 billion to clean up after Sandy.

Paul voted against the aid.

Massapequa residents tell News 12 they think Paul should come to Long Island to see the damage for himself.

He had originally ripped into his party after Cheeto Boner pulled the additional funding bill off the House floor in December and didn't come back to it until the end of the next month.

28. When republicans don't like the truth, they lie.

And it gets them re-elected. We need to learn that people who still support republicans are amoral. They have no center belief or core value. It is all tribe and hate. The admire a person who will lie to them. The liar knows they are lying. Their voters know they are lying to them. They don't care. Truth doesn't matter.
