Rand Paul cancels DirecTV subscription after it drops OAN

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says he is canceling his subscription to DirecTV after the company announced plans to drop pro-Trump conservative cable channel One America News (OAN) from its listings.

"Why give money to people who hate us?" Paul said in a tweet sent on Monday.

DirecTV on Friday made public its plans to not renew its contract with OAN, saying it had made the decision following "a routine internal review."

Other Trump-loyal Republican lawmakers and conservative activists slammed DirecTV's decision over the weekend, claiming the move is evidence of a larger effort by powerful media companies to censor or sideline conservative viewpoints.

OAN's the only one that dumbs it down enough for Paul to understand.

GOPee-Drinkers like to claim things that aren't true, in order to try to score political points. He's all talk, and full of shit, much like those of his ilk who call into the "Democratic" line on C-SPAN, claiming to be a lifelong Democrat who is leaving the party because blahblahblah...
