Looks like we've got a good old family feud brewing between Rand Paul and the warmongers in his party. It seems Sen. Grumpy-Pants John McCain is none too happy with Baby Paul calling him and his BFF Lindsey Graham "lapdogs" for President Obama.
Pass the popcorn everyone!
Family Feud: McCain calls Paul 'the worst possible candidate' on national security:
A feud between Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., escalated Wednesday when McCain called the 2016 presidential hopeful “the worst possible candidate” on the issue of national security. [...]
McCain responded in full force Wednesday:
“Senator Paul is the worst possible candidate of the 20 or so that are running on the most important issue, which is national security.”
McCain said Paul had in the past doubted if ISIS was a threat to U.S. national security, had proposed a budget in 2011 that would cut defense spending by 30 percent and said Iran wasn’t a threat to Israel.
“The record is very clear that [Paul] does not have an understanding of the needs or the threats of United States national security,” McCain said.
However, when asked if he would support Paul if he were the nominee against Hillary Clinton, McCain conceded he would.
“I would support the nominee for my party, I am a loyal Republican. I would hope that good sense would prevail here, because the realities of the world today do not allow for isolationist policies,” McCain said.
“We’ve already seen what happens from “leading from behind,” leading from far behind, and that’s what Rand Paul would do, but I hope that many of us could prevail on him to see the world in a very different light.”
