Rand Paul is a raving lunatic.

Senator Rand Paul lambasted his colleagues Thursday for their eagerness to impose more sanctions on Russia, warning that closing channels of communication would risk war.

“Trump Derangement Syndrome has officially come to the Senate,” the Kentucky Republican began on the Senate floor. “The hatred for the president is so intense that partisans would rather risk war than give diplomacy a chance.”

Paul was arguing against a resolution from Senator Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) that would slap more sanctions on Russia and reprimand the country for interfering in U.S. elections.

“Does anybody remember that Ronald Reagan sat down with Gorbachev and we lessened the nuclear tensions?” Paul continued. “Kennedy at the height of the Cold War had a direct line to Khrushchev, and it may have prevented the end of the world. . . . I would rather that we still have open channels of discussion with the Russians.”
