A Republican with a pair. How refreshing to see!
Paul/Palin 2016
Cruz/Paul
He is getting tired, hope another senator shows up soon to ask him a really long question.
You watch how the old guard deals with the young guns stealing their spotlight.
McMee, Grahamnasty,McConnell et al will roll out some sellout like Amnesty or Gun Control in the next day or two so someone (prestitutes)
will pay attention to the fossils.
Great! I read that Rubio was there too, can anyone confirm? We need to keep tabs on who has the guts to stand up and take action.
Yes Rubio participated
Lee, Cruz, Rubio Cornyn and a Dem Wyden all gave him a break as they asked him really long questions
this is incredible and I couldn’t be prouder of people who are not willing to let 0dumbo shred our constitution
It’s certainly refreshing to see a republican acting
like a Republican.
He moves up a notch in my estimation.
I am so impressed with the planning he and his staff did
he has referenced many articles and a ton of real facts on this subject
he has been seaking for 4.5 hours and he is still relevant.
I hope MEM reports this fairly instread of making this seem like a stunt
I imagine there will be a transcript somewhere,
should make interesting reading.
Restore the Constitution!
Right on cue guess who is having dinner meeting with
Zero tonight. It’s a Rino stampede at the White Hut!
Nothing good is gonna come out of this! Freaking McCain and Graham nasty are there! I bet it is either gun control or Open Border sellout.
Someone should send em a link to Cspan feed of Sen. Rand and tell then those are the actions of Patriots. Not breaking bread with the enemy!
Yes
I think we are seeing that
Now a Kansas Senator is asking a long question
Hoof for Senator Moran
I mean to say Hooray
not Hoof
