Sen. Rand Paul thwarted Senate Democrats' attempt to pass a unanimous resolution to recognize the role of Congress and the executive branch in protecting whistleblowers, saying he wanted the Senate to pass his own bill

On Wednesday, Paul objected to the attempt to pass the proposal unanimously, saying he wanted the Senate to pass his own bill, which would apply whistleblower protections to Edward Snowden, who has been living in exile in Russia after leaking American intelligence secrets in 2013, and allow President Donald Trump to face his accuser.

He then introduced his own bill, The Whistleblower Protection Act of 2019, which he said would provide retroactive protections for whistleblowers that could then be applied to defend Snowden, for example, and would ensure the President can have a right to address his accuser.Read MorePaul said he isn't objecting because he doesn't support whistleblowers, but the system should be refined.

He enjoys being the fly in the Jar but let’s contend that he is. He is not a Senator for the people of Kentucky. He is for an easy salary and campaign money from Russia. The people get nothing from this weasel. Kentucky Voters. Look at your situation. You can do better than RAND

What is with this man? why is he in office? What legislation has he introduced and has it helped America?

🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Of course. This guy lacks ethics and morality and KY needs to kick him to the curve in 2924

Kentucky still has work to do. New governor's a first step. Now dump Trump's anal inspectors Moscow Mitch and Rand the red.

What an unbelievable pathetic embarrassment RandPaul is

Redundant and waste of time and taxpayer dollars. For Heaven’s sake!! When will congress actually get to work instead of eating each other up?

Hope his neighbor beats his ass again.

CNN: whistle blower! .....will this turn out to be 💩also? Yes.

Rands seat must not be up next year

I m sorry GOP but you have some terrible, terrible people leading your party. Just disgraceful.

Now he's on my SOB list, the hypocritical axxhole!

Yep, let’s put lawmakers on the spot! If either suggest breaking the law to protect any government official be punished like any other citizen would! If they fail a budget resolution they receive No pay, no retroactive! All bills must be voted on within two week, etc!

its already a law, and it does not protect the identity.

Red rand is so in the bag,he has set Libertarians back further than anyone thought possible they are now less than least

Just remember that these white supremacists never cared about 'the constitution'

When is he up for re-election?

I guess the question is what is a whistleblower?

So when do these senators pass over from avid supporter of the 'President' to a flaming security risk to the rest of us? Anyone?

Rand has finally lost his ever loving mind.. It was only a matter of time, that he became the extremist he was molded to be.

Rand, please get a brain scan.

Rand is my man!!

Seriously. Little fish in a big pond. Meaningless and with no integrity to back him up.

RandPaul neighbor ! If your listening , Rand misses you

Coward snake!
