You can be against disaster relief in principle, but if your constituents money is being sent to other parts of the country to deal with disasters, you are obligated to obtain relief for them when they need it.

You can hate the system they make you live under while learning to operate within it.

So I guess the question is whether Paul will demand offsetting cuts first to cover the disaster aid for Kentucky before he will vote for it?

One thing he advocates for is covering US disaster aid by giving less money to, for example, countries like Pakistan, Somalia, Columbia, etc.

So, yes, I bet many will agree with that. Of course, you probably don't.

Look at Paul’s record. In the case of every other disaster request he has demanded that any money appropriated be offset by cuts from other programs otherwise he would not vote for the relief package. And he has never voted for one

Post his record on disaster aid votes

I don’t know about that but he seems to have a problem with inconsistency. I’m sure he knows that consistency is a hobgoblin. There’s nothing wrong with a little honest hypocrisy.

That wasn't the question. Will Rand Paul vote against any relief funding for Kentucky if the money isn't offset by cuts elsewhere? I don't disagree in principle with Paul's position but wonder if he'll continue to hold to it now that it's his constituents who need the help? Or whether he'll toss his principles out the window and vote for disaster aid regardless?

Paul voted against disaster aid following Hurricane Sandy in 2013, Hurricane Maria in 2017, Hurricane Harvey in 2017, Hurricane Irma in 2017, money for wildfire relief, money for the Texas power outage of last winder, the hurricane relief for Louisiana earlier this year, the entire Disaster Relief budget for 2019, and on, and on. It would be easier to ask what relief bill he actually voted for rather than list all the bills he voted against.

That’s what I thought too else extremely young and ignorant :

“ Rank hypocrisy by a Senator, especially a Republican Senator, is something the media is always going to jump on. ”

As we’ve all known for years on end libtard senators always get a pass from the fake media. Schumer has never been called out 🤪
