Rand Paul: ‘Reckless’ for Trump to call Democrats ‘traitors’
thehill ^ | Nov 24, 2025 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 11/24/2025 2:45:22 PM PST by backpacker_c

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) warned that President Trump calling Democratic lawmakers “traitors” is “reckless, inappropriate, irresponsible”

“But if you take it at face value, the idea that calling your opponents traitors — and then specifically saying that it warrants the death penalty — is reckless, inappropriate, irresponsible.” “It’s not something that is helping the country heal wounds. I think it stirs things up,” he added.

The president vented his fury after the Democrats posted the video in which they urged members of the military to refuse unlawful orders.

“It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL,” Trump posted on Truth Social last Thursday.

rand paul is okay with sedition against Trump, but Trump can't say anything bad against rand paul's democrat allies, because it's devisive against the country and 'doesn't heal wounds' and 'stirs things up'....

Not like what the left has done with their assassination attempts at Trump, nor the murder of Charlie Kirk...

rand paul cares more about the dems and their agenda, than Trump or America First...

Some people have a butt. Others are butts.

People named Rand are the latter.

Rand Paul is morphing into a Karen. It’s not like Democrats calling Trump “Hitler” incessantly. How about focusing your ire across the aisle, Rand?”

Rand’s Deep State and Rand’s Swamp isn’t going to obliterate itself.

#RandPaulFatigue is real.

Pretends to be principled, but like MTG, it’s all a ruse.

Where were thes people concerned about our Democracy when the Niden Administration threw the gates wide open for all comers? Crickets. The Republicans might have complained, but they did nothing about it. I honestly can’t remember much about them even rasising objections.

And it is being pushed, that it's bad behavior for Trump to respond to, and attack 'fellow republicans' like rand paul for defending sedition against him, when Trump said....

Trump in a Monday afternoon Truth Social post said Paul “went really BAD!”

“Whatever happened to “Senator” Rand Paul? He was never great, but he went really BAD! I got him elected, TWICE (in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky!), but he just never votes positively for the Republican Party. He’s a nasty liddle’ guy, much like “Congressman” Thomas Massie, aka Rand Paul Jr., also of Kentucky (which I won three times, in massive landslides!), a sick Wacko, who refuses to vote for our great Republican Party, MAGA, or America First.” Trump said.

I used to like him, but what an ass he turned out to be. He should reveal his true political beliefs, sounds more and more like a demorat to me.

This issue of these pieces of crap making that video makes me angrier than nearly anything I have read lately, and that takes a lot of doing.

MTG is reminding me of Liz Cheney. Our hold on the House is already too close for comfort.

Paul is the kind of GOP politician the lame street media calls upon to show they are fair and balanced. Sort of like Mitt Romney.

Tells you something doesn’t it?

I am not going to watch the little idiot since I am not masochistic, but did he say that what the Idiot 6 released was reckless? And if he did, did he say that their recklessness amounted to the same degree of Trump’s supposed recklessness, and did he mention that it was sedition for them to release such a video?
