Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said Sunday that he won't back GOP congresswoman Liz Cheney and her support for"endless wars" if she decides to run for the Senate from Wyoming.
Paul confirmed on CNN that he's supporting Republican Cynthia Lummis, a former House member. Cheney, meanwhile, doubled down on her contention that Paul's push to downscale U.S. military actions"blames America first" and ends up supporting terrorists. She spoke on NBC. It was the latest round of rhetorical warfare between the pair, each a scion of a Republican political family. But it's more than bickering members of Congress. The two are increasingly seen as the faces of GOP factions clashing over U.S. policy in Afghanistan and more broadly, the world. Like other Republicans, they're claiming to be closer to President Donald Trump on foreign policy, even though his abrupt reversals and changes leave the administration's direction unclear.
Paul has long tried to persuade Trump to trust his"America First" instincts and downscale U.S. military actions in places like Afghanistan and Syria. But others with Trump's ear, including South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, have counseled a more traditional GOP approach to foreign affairs.
Really, who cares. Why is this news? Send a real investigative reporter to get the background on Kavanaugh, get it published and help us get him off the SCOTUS.
Why would Wyoming care what you think from Kentucky? Maybe if you also said you wouldnt support MoscowMich that might help.
Good for you, You should speak out against her and let the voters know what she has done and wha she believes in.
Are they having sissy fits again?
She went to the reddest state with the smallest population. Sounds like a confident candidate.
Chip off the old block!
But he’ll back a president who runs up the national deficit to over 1 trillion, forces a vanity wall no one wants or needs despite the outrageous cost we would all shoulder for it and golf trips that line the presidents own pockets... well, I’m glad he drew a line somewhere.
VOTE BLUE
Well, they despise one another so...
Is this the same senator that held up the 9/11 first responders bill because he was worried about the cost?
The Cheneys are always for war. It's generational.
Thank god. A little common sense! Finally!
He is a clown, who needs his support?
Shocked I bet she was counting on his endorsement
That's because he is another war monger !! He would rather make war to benefit his pocket then have peace bringing the troops home safe.
RandPaul This is the first thing I have agreed with you on Sen. Paul. Liz Cheney seems to fall in Bolton’s group. So easy to say start a war when you won’t be on the front lines fighting it.
She dont need her
RandPaul lizcheney_WY No one cares! You are both, multiplied by ten, nothing.
It’s how the Cheney family has always made its money. They’re part of the MIC (Military Industrial Complex).
Watching the series “Justified” about them southern none educated, drug running tRUMP supporters! Ya all come back again!
Never could understand why they had called it the 100 years war when they took so much time off. Doesn't seem much like a 'war' in Afghanistan. People are being killed but isn't their a greater responsibility for doing what is right? Isn't it the moral thing to help if u can.
Who would’ve ever thought we’d have to pick between Dick 2.0 and pubic head Paul?
Why would anyone want to be endorsed by Rand Paul
Did someone tell him that Trump is 'locked and loaded' for Iran? He's just waiting for SA to give him more intelligence (because he doesn't like or trust US Intelligence).
Yay!
As President Trump says regularly 'we'll see what happens.'
Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news
I'm looking forward to voting for RandPaul for president, again.
Paul can go rake leaves And Cheney? Cheney can eat yellow cake
ABC WANTS WAR FOR MOTHER RUSSIA AND TRAITOR TRUMP.
Checking notes...... Who gives a shit about this
Not sure what he will do, but having her in the Senate would be awful!
Neither of the apples fall far from their trees....both Daddy’s are corrupt.....Liz more than Rand but still..
I wouldn't worry to much not having paul's endorsement He is nothing.
Can we just put both of these scumbags on an island somewhere and let them fend for themselves?
Her dad still profiting off the current endless war?
I wont back EITHER of them
But maybe you will because you cannot believe what senator Rand Paul says he believes.
she dodged that bullet
'Is useful idiot, no☭'
KY man thinks he can vote for WY woman for senate but won’t because he doesn’t like her - and gop still claiming no election interference - ok got it
Shouldn’t dick Cheney be investigated into for war crimes. People profiting from war has to stop. It’s f*cking up the world & always has.
We have sent men and woman for centuries into wars we should of never been in and some we should not be in even now !!!
Good for Rand.
Put her in combat. Let's see what kind of attitude she would have afterward.
And hope voters don't support either one of you.
Wyoming it’s the most Republicans state, Rand Paul support or not she will win lol 🙄
The Cheney name has brought enough stain on the USA, thank you RandPaul
support for endless war is a genetic condition her family suffers from how dare paul make this about her disability
So how long until he rolls over? Usually it's within 24 hours after he gets his name in the headlines.
Don't fault Liz. She smells war. It's genetic.
Good. Hope R Paul stands by this on Election Day.
absolute KING
He doesn’t get to vote in Wyoming.
