Sen. Rand Paul all but accused the vice president of celebrating war crimes. JD Vance is just fine with that.
The Kentucky Republican ripped Vance over the weekend in a social media fight that could offer a preview of future skirmishes between President Donald Trump’s heir apparent and another Republican with 2028 ambitions.
Paul has long been a thorn in the GOP’s side and regularly clashed with Trump, making him a particularly useful foil for Vance and the administration as they seek to build support for last week’s attack on a boat leaving Venezuela, killing its crew because they were allegedly smuggling drugs.
“The vice president believes in the Trump doctrine and using overwhelming force to protect core American interests and save American lives,” said one person close to Vance granted anonymity to discuss private conversations. “That pisses off hypocrites like Rand Paul, who during his failed run for president defended [former President Barack] Obama droning American citizens without due process, but now is sticking up for foreign terrorists thanks to his debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
The strike in the Caribbean represented a significant U.S. policy shift, demonstrating the administration’s willingness to attack foreign vessels in international waters in an effort to slow the flow of drugs into the United States. Many, including Paul, have suggested that Trump lacked the legal authority for the attack, a charge the administration has strenuously rejected.
“The big question is, is this a new Coast Guard policy,” Paul asked Monday evening, noting that the Coast Guard intercepts boats all the time without blowing them up.

Positioning himself to be out of the race after he finishes last in the Iowa Caucus. Give it up. Your boy will never be president!
1988 United States presidential election:
George H. W. Bush/Dan Quayle (R) – 48,886,597 (53.4%) and 426 electoral votes (79.18%, 40 states carried)
Michael Dukakis/Lloyd Bentsen (D) – 41,809,476 (45.6%) and 111 electoral votes (20.63%, 10 states and D.C. carried)
Lloyd Bentsen/Michael Dukakis (D) – 1 electoral vote (0.19%, West Virginia faithless elector)
Ron Paul/Andre Marrou (LBT) – 431,750 (0.5%)
Lenora Fulani (New Alliance) – 217,221 (0.2%)
Others – 249,642 (0.3%)
Ron was cheated out of Iowa last time he ran
Paul and Massie and the wretched RINOs in the Senate are useful idiots for the media to attack Trump.
Is an attorney in Ohio or Kentucky or Massholachusetts allowed to practice proctology?
The Diva Rand is just crooning another Aria. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
“Allegedly”?
Rand has zero chance.
For 2018, America needs another war time president.
Rand Paul ain’t him!
No, no, no. There is no individuals as corrupt, prone to lying, and possessing of no discernable virtue as the fake Indian and her fellow DemocRAT cohorts in the American Communist Party. Some day their time will come and I hope it will be televised. But we’re gonna need a lot of guillotines.
Rand is in the same category as Mitt Romney, basically useless. The only good thing he’s really done is going after Fauci.
“He shouldn't even be on this stage.”
“He's got 1 percent in the polls and how he got up here - there's far too many people anyway.”
Being charitable to Rand: He had never learned that the enemy of “great” is “good.”
Rand and all who support him are looked on as two-faced clowns.
Rand need to go to his OWN party, the Libertarian Party.
I guess if you give the press an attention-grabbing quote, they'll print it, but this one was exceptionally stupid. That seems to be the playbook now. The left was damned as woke, so now conservatives attack their fellow conservatives as "the woke right." Warren is annoying and her avatar, Philly Karen is having a bad week, so somehow Rand Paul is now "the GOP's Elizabeth Warren."
SO we’re not welcome then? Rand and his 6 million followers?
