Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky strongly objected after Vice President JD Vance asserted in a Saturday post on X that "Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military."
"JD ‘I don’t give a s[---]’ Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the ‘highest and best use of the military.’ Did he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation??" Senator Paul wrote.

Well with this one statement Rand Paul has lost every single bit of respect I had for him. I’m just confounded and confused.
How can you compare attacking Venezuelan Drug running foreign gang members, on a mission to invade the USA, to a Native born American in a novel about racism???
It’s like he had a mini stroke..or maybe got a few million dollar deposit in a Swiss bank account🤔?
Isn’t it time for Rand Paul to go spend more time with his family?
Rand had a Hello, Sen. Paul for DataRepublican (small r) recently...

Loved to have been a fly on the wall when he heard about that...
I dislike Rand Paul.
Peace through lethality.
Rand Paul’s libertarian side is getting the better of him if he’s now going to support illegal alien cartel members.
the leftists are praising him now on X.
In this case, Rand is a “ground glass is OK in baby food” libertarian.
Rand is comparing himself with “Boo”?
“””Well with this one statement Rand Paul has lost every single bit of respect I had for him. I’m just confounded and confused. “””””””””
Rand is just like his old man. No clue about how to defend the country. Two kooks in a pod.
Mr Paul, how long do we accept the narco-war the cartels have waged against us for decades - and now with help from the CCP- and continue to pretend it is not a war???
He seems to play by the rule book that an official army can be met militarily. If the country in question is using hires for the same thing, we cant use the military.
Hes an idiot.
Best use of our military? Perhaps not. An absolutely *appropriate* use of our military? You betcha!!!!
Rand Paul is old, and In the Way. He forgets it was his security detail who rescued Republican members of Congress who were seriously shot by a demonrat Leftist lunatic (who was a home inspector/// unreal).
Narco Terrorist leaders are many elevations above this kind of ass clown shooter, and because of the death they willingly deal— deserve every round, explosion and vaporization.
Libertarian fakirs like Paul and his crackpot daddy-— can never get any part of hostile foreign governments getting what they richly deserve. Force Majeure, Mr. Paul. Retire if they’ve shrunk to bar nuts. There is NO comparison, but this is the kind of crapola which comes out of “intellectual” fakirs and their “thinkings”.
Imagine twelve million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers. Twelve million more people assimilating into society. Twelve million more people being productive contributors.He said that twelve years ago.
The Bee almost got that headline right. Just replace 'Navy' with 'Rand Paul.'
FWIW I like Rand Paul. No politician is more Pro-Life or stronger on the 2nd Amendment.
Paul saying stupid chit to appease his Libertarian acolytes
Rand Paul is a fraud.
Not a “Rand Fan,” huh? I agree with you. I used to respect him but he seems to be past his “use by” date.
