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's lavish spending and European trips used donations intended for the @GOP - $11,043 on restaurants in Italy and Malta, $4,492 on limousines in Rome, $1,904 at a luxury Athens hotel - a lavish lifestyle on donors’ dimes. ht @CREWcrew @McClatchyDC mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-…

@RandPaul sent out this snapchat, titling it "Lessons from Dan Bilzerian." Here he's playing Liar’s Poker with a (thick!) stack of $100 bills against "Playboy King" Dan Bilzerian @WealthyEminence. It does seem Rand Paul aspires to the life of an oligarch. dailycaller.com/2015/04/24/ran…

Here's the video of Rand Paul taking "Lessons from Dan Bilzerian":
