Republican Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) said Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth should testify before Congress “under oath” about the orders to strike suspected Venezuelan drug boa

“I think he should testify under oath about the orders that were given, and I think that the video of the distressed, shipwrecked or incapacitated people on those boats being bombed, that video should be shown to every American,” Paul said

rand paul, the 'true conservative republican', who joined far left dems schumer, schiff, and tim kaine in calling for passing a war powers resolution to block Trump from stopping drug running, goes further to attack the Trump admin...

Not only does rand paul want hegseth to testify under oath, something unusual, as many people appearing before congress don't get placed under oath, which lets them get away with telling lies.....

rand paul wants to smear and make hegseth, the DOW, and the Trump admin look bad, by showing a full video of the killing of drug smugglers and any survivors.

and of course, let the media and left spin the optics to how the fascist dictator Trump indiscriminately kill helpless venezuelans, and soon, they will be coming after you, too....

Did kentuckians really vote for this anti-Trump, leftist agenda supporting, !#%&*@?

What an ASS

How about show us the videos of obama droning wedding parties too

How about NAViator hero pilot Mark Kelly testify he only ever dropped a bomb once, then went back to look for survivors?

LOL, Rand Paul is the one candidate that can truly unite the country: Both Republicans and Democrats hate him.

Paul is like Kelly, he cannot resist his appetite for attention. These Senators must have thick layers of ego, built like an onion. They make a grown man cry!

Congress really has its finger on the pulse of what Americans care about.

Did Rand Paul ever serve in the Armed Forces? Inquiring minds want to know.

Something is up with this guy. He has sold our country out. He went from independent thinker to back stabbing traitor. He wants to show an incendiary video without context to the nation because he knows the effect it would have. A move worthy of Schiff or Schmukee.

With All Due Respect... Sen. Rand Paul needs to get his Boy Scout Head out of his Boy Scout Ass and realize he’s playing Checkers while our enemies are playing Chess.

In Colorado, both Jason “ArmyRangerArmyRangerArmyRanger” Crow, and Michael Bennet, who never served, are calling for Hegseth’s head.

Paul needs to go **** himself. A friend of drug cartels the world over. A couple of Paul’s pals get what they deserve and millions of Americans are saved. What these speed boat “fisherman” are doing is illegal. They need to be snuffed out.

Rand Paul once again providing the Dems and their media coveted soundbites to attack the Trump administration with.

Paul has become a craven grandstander, lapping up all the media love he's being showered with. What a reprehensible individual he has become.
