Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) took a swipe at fellow Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (R) on Thursday, calling Paul an “isolationist” after he voted against the $40 billion aid package for Ukraine.
Appearing on Fox News’s “Special Report,” McConnell dismissed Paul’s opposition to the bill as representative of only “a tiny percentage” of Senate Republicans.
“My colleague, Senator Paul, has always been basically an isolationist,” McConnell told host Bret Baier. “He’s proud of it and believes that’s where America ought to be. That is a tiny percentage of the Senate Republican Conference.”
Paul was one of just 11 GOP senators to oppose the massive spending bill, and while his point of view may not represent the majority of Republican lawmakers, it gathered a tremendous amount of support from Republican voters online — a fact McConnell apparently either doesn’t know about or doesn’t care about.
In response to the news that the Senate passed the bill, the tiny sample of tweets below actually represents a great many conservative Americans who are furious at their representatives for funneling money to Ukraine when inflation, crime, soaring gas prices, and a shortage of baby formula are plaguing our nation.
Got to Love Trump for exposing Mitch the Swamp Rat!
Jimmy Carter Arrested For Putting Biden ‘I Did That’ Stickers On Gas Pumps

PLAINS, GA - Former President Jimmy Carter was arrested Monday after a gas station attendant called the police to report a “hooligan” placing “I Did That!” stickers on gas pumps. Authorities arrived at the scene shortly thereafter and took the former president into custody for vandalism, disturbing the peace, and resisting arrest.
The infamous “I Did That!” stickers feature an image of President Biden pointing at the total sale of gas at the pump, as if proud of the economic strain he's placing on American families. According to authorities, the stickers have been popping up all over the country and aren't usually traced back to a specific culprit but in this instance, the stickers were placed comically low to the ground because Jimmy Carter is so short.
Carter, who saw an oil crisis during his presidency, reportedly voiced frustration with the Biden administration when confronted by authorities.
“In ‘79 we had an oil shortage. Maybe I didn't do everything right but I tried deregulating oil to increase domestic production and free us from the sharp rise in costs due to the Iranian Revolution,” said Jimmy Carter, fuming.
