To say that conservative talk radio host Mark Levin isn't happy with Senators Rand Paul and Mike Lee would be an understatement of epic proportions. The reason? Their decision to stand in front of leftwing-media cameras to blast the Trump administration after they were briefed on the decision to take out Iranian Terror General Qasem Soleimani. "Code Pink Republicans," as Levin called them, misinterpret the United States Constitution by pretending it's a libertarian or even populist document, which it is not.
"The briefing lasted only 75 minutes, whereupon our briefers left," Lee said afterward. "This, however, is not the biggest problem I have with the briefing, which I would add was probably the worst briefing I’ve seen at least on a military issue in the nine years I’ve served in the United States Senate."
"I find it insulting and I find it demeaning to the Constitution of the United States, he went on to say. "It’s un-American. It’s unconstitutional. And it’s wrong. ... They are appearing before a coordinate branch of government responsible for their funding, for their confirmation, for any approval of any military action they might take. They had to leave after 75 minutes while they were in the process of telling us that we need to be good little boys and girls and not debate this in public. I find that to be absolutely insane."
Rand Paul added that the briefing was "less than satisfying" and blasted the administration for using the 2002 war authorization (against Iraq) as the basis for the airstrike against Soleimani. "I see no way in the world you could logically argue that an authorization to have war with Saddam Hussein has anything to with having war with people currently in Iraq," Paul said, adding that this justification is actually"absurd" and "an insult."

Yeah but he is a Constitutional law expert like that great scholar Obama. </s>
That’s perfect for them. :^)
I will take Rand Paul over useless Mark Levin any day.
The difference is Obama knew he was not a natural born citizen and never claimed he was.
He even went as far as admit that he was born a British subject/Kenyan national on his website.
It was a very lawyerly way of admitting he was ineligible without stating it plainly.
Nancy Pelosi was the one who falsely certified Obama.
Maybe we should send them a couple of pussy hats
They deserve them when they pull crap like this.
There are some whose only claim to fame is that they were with Trump from the beginning, as if they, or anyone else, would have had any idea how he'd govern if elected. They use this as a basis for building themselves up at the expense of anybody who had any reservations at all regarding Trump, which, to their mind, are second-class citizens.
Excellent post! Could not agree more.
Oh. I know
No clue what the military is for.
These guys are in charge?
Paul and Lee have been useful to PDJT in the past, and they will be again. However I don’t think Lee will be mentioned again in the same breath with “supreme court nominee”- in a positive manner. Both Paul and Lee are the type of politicians who will occasionally toss out the baby with the bathwater.
Everyone can be wrong, man.
Question is does one learn from it or does one compound it.
Mark didn’t compound it.
Beck certainly did.
Right on the money.
I support President Trump and would fight for his place as POTUS to the cost of my life if it was done for Constitutional reasons.
And some people doubt Satan exists.
“Mark didn’t compound it.
Beck certainly did.”

That’s right.
Beck should never get a single click from FR.
He is a total fraud.
Beck isn’t fit to breath air from the same zip code as Levin.
I will listen to what Levin has to say but would never consider anyone he would support for higher office.
Excluding Trump of course.
I can’t believe Beck is still on the radio...he is still on the radio?
Absolutely agreed, and just to state for the record, I was furious with Levin. I quit listening to him for quite sometime.
I also set all of that aside and have forgiven him completely.
No damn way on Beck.
There are Never-Trumpers, and there are Never-Levinites. They are equally irrational.
I saw this Mike Lee yapping his gums after their briefing. Boy did that guy have to dig deeeeep for those fake emotions. I couldn’t believe a word he said, he was so EMOTIONAL about what he heard. Nobody else in that briefing freaked out like he did. He needs to go stand in the corner + shake himself back to reality.
Unlike the lockstep supporters of Clinton and Obama. When and if President Trump is wrong, he should be called out, but constructively.
This!
And I would add that Trump often praises Levin.
