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…

Does Kentucky care? The Lexington @heraldleader was appalled by Rand Paul’s statements, noting “in Paul’s view, calling out a dictatorial regime for tampering with balloting is the same as a dictatorial regime tampering with another country’s balloting.” kentucky.com/opinion/editor…

Rand Paul is planning his own imminent trip to Russia, despite objections. thehill.com/homenews/senat… Citizens are reasonable to question his motives and intentions, as he often seems to put Russia's interests and his own personal interests above those of Kentucky and US citizens.
