After he asked Biden for help for Kentucky, Rand Paul is butthurt on his hypocrisy being called out

Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul lashed out at critics who called him a hypocrite for requesting federal funds when his state was devastated by tornadoes, but he has a lengthy history of opposing disaster-relief bills, The Washington Post reported.

On Saturday, the morning after a storm created historic tornadoes, Paul wrote President Joe Biden a letter asking him to move "expeditiously to approve the appropriate resources for our state."

The most damage and destruction hit Kentucky, with more than 70 people killed.

Critics were quick to call out that the letter was in contrast to Paul's rigid opposition to federal disaster-relief efforts in the past.

"We should do all we can to help our Kentucky neighbors. God be with them — they are hurting. But do not for one second forget that @RandPaul has voted against helping most Americans most times they're in need," Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell wrote in a tweet.

That is all.

2. Imagine how outraged! Paul would be if Biden showed up and tossed rolls of paper towels.

Of course, President Biden would never do that because he’s a functioning adult.

3. Paul didn't even have to ask. That was all theater.

Paul was pretending to be some kind of public servant, and will undoubtedly brag about "getting relief" for Kentuckians when that relief was coming regardless.

See, Democrats believe that we are all in this together, that the role of government is to actually serve its citizens. A major part of that is to send whatever aid is available when people are suffering. DEMOCRATS believe that. No matter who you vote for, no matter where you live, no matter if your governor, or mayor, or whatever, was nice to the Democratic President or not, you will get help. Because that is what government is for!

Grown ups OWN their decisions Paul. They don't try to weasel out of them and cry "no fair" when their actual voting record is shown to highlight their hypocrisy. Then again, we know that "the party of personal responsibility" never admits to anything.
