RINOs fight - Conservatives
Posted on 07/18/2022 7:57:51 PM PDT by RandFan
Sen. Rand Paul unloaded on fellow Republican Mitch McConnell for the Senate GOP leader’s handling of an anti-abortion judicial nomination, criticizing McConnell for refusing to consult with him about abandoned nominee Chad Meredith. The White House pulled Meredith’s nomination last week, with both McConnell and administration officials blaming Paul for refusing to sign off.
Now, the two Bluegrass State Republicans are involved in a back and forth, reigniting an intraparty and intrastate fight.
On Monday, Paul said McConnell was working behind his back on a “secret deal” with President Joe Biden and said it was “a little bit insulting” that he learned of the nomination from an FBI background check on Meredith.
“McConnell’s to blame for tanking this because he tried to do it secretly, Democrats caught wind up in the state. And they also tried to do it secret[ly]” and go around McConnell’s home state partner, Paul told reporters. “We never heard about it from McConnell’s office. And his people simply said, ‘you can’t do this but we can.’ You know, ‘we’re so powerful, we can do whatever we want.’”
McConnell’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
It’s just the latest clash between McConnell and Paul, perhaps the oddest couple of same-party home-state senators in the chamber. When he first ran for the Senate in 2010, Paul defeated McConnell’s preferred candidate, Trey Grayson, and has been among the most conservative senators ever since

Mitch, mitch, mitch. Got caught with your hand in the cookie jar, you dirty SOB.
China Mitch is worse than a Dem.
Rand Paul leaked about the appointment of a right-wing judge to scuttle the deal, but McConnell’s the bad guy?
What did the turtle promise joetato?
Rand Paul has discovered what Ted Cruz did years ago.
Mitch is a back-stabbing, lying shill for the Deep State.
The “deal” McConnell cut was one “Right” judge in exchange for a whole bunch of “Left” judges for Joe Biden.
The deal stank.
A whole bunch of left-wing judges in exchange for this conservative judge.
Excerpted from wiki... In March 1967, shortly before the expiration of his educational draft deferment upon graduation from law school, McConnell enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve as a private at Louisville, Kentucky. [which kept him] out of combat during the Vietnam War....His first day of training at Fort Knox, Kentucky, was July 9, 1967, two days after taking the bar exam, and his last day was August 15, 1967... Shortly after his arrival, he was diagnosed with optic neuritis and was deemed medically unfit for military service...After five weeks at Fort Knox, he was honorably discharged...
This Veteran, who served 4 years to EARN an Honorable Discharge, has no respect for Mister McConnell or his alleged service.
p
no mention of his polio?
Because RINOs are lazy and are happy to let the democrats do all the dirty work of governing so long as they can get a piece of the action.
Conservatives - not the RINO True ConservitveTM brand - keep messing up the cozy relationship.
Rand Paul is the toughest man in the Senate.
The other version of his military service involves McConnell being kicked out for grabbing another man’s private parts.

Sorry. Not sure how I got 4 posts.
I read that the deal was 2 or 3 Dem US Attorneys for a conservative judge, which would have been a great deal for us! 2 or 3 short term, temp. positions for a lifetime position on the bench. I’d make that trade all day long. Mitch was an absolute bitch on blocking Trump’s exec. branch nominees, but he deserves an A+ for his work on confirming judges.
