RAND PAUL & RUSSIA & ELECTION ATTACKS

part 4/4 - #4partRand
@RandPaul consistently advocates for Russia's interests over US values and interests. Why?

In Part 4, we look at how Paul's behavior has become even more aggressively pro-Russia. Has he become a #PutinPuppet?
Part 4 - Rand Paul on Russia

Rand Paul is aggressively pro-Russia. After a Mar 2018 mtg, the Russian Embassy tweeted text about “improving Russia US relations, restoring…dialogue.” The tweet was deleted and revised, removing “improving” and “restoring.” businessinsider.com/russian-embass…
Rand Paul objected to a resolution Jul 2018 to protect US elections from Russian interference, saying “it’s a “waste of time” to hold Putin accountable. “They’re going to interfere with our elections and we also do the same.” @cnn @thehill thehill.com/homenews/sunda…

RAND PAUL & RUSSIA & ELECTION ATTACKS

part 3/4 - #4partRand
@RandPaul consistently advocates for Russia's interests over US values and interests. Why?

In Part 3, we see that Rand Paul loves the lavish oligarch life, spends campaign donations on himself, and plays with the rich.
Part 3 - Rand Paul as aspiring oligarch

Many feel the US is already becoming like Russia in their corruption, inequality, and limited freedom and opportunity. A few, the oligarchs, control the wealth, and most people are kept poor. This is why Rand Paul's behavior is an issue.
Rand Paul’s salary is $174,000, and net worth $1.3 M (2015) opensecrets.org/personal-finan…. But he's raised much more, $31.3 M, in campaign money opensecrets.org/members-of-con…. @OpenSecretsDC Have all of those political donations been spent as permitted and donors intended? Apparently not.

Rand Paul worked on his father’s 1988 presidential campaign as the Libertarian candidate. Ron received less than 1% of the vote. They both know what a failed campaign looks like. npr.org/sections/itsal…
