The collapse of President Joe Biden’s baffling plan to nominate longtime Republican Chad Meredith as a federal judge in Kentucky has left Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) in a standoff much like the Spider-Men pointing meme.
Frist.
Figured I’d join in since “everybody’s doing it.”
Note that the turkey “Contains no pork.”
What could be more satisfying?
“Hey, you’re more corrupt than I am!!”
Paul said he only heard about the nomination from the FBI.
WTAF?
“McConnell did whatever secret deal he did with the White House without talking to me,” Paul said. “And so we simply said that we’re not against Meredith, but McConnell is going to at least discuss it with his other state senator.”
“There was no deal,” McConnell said. “This was a personal friendship gesture.”
Just waiting on Rick Scott and Donald Trump to chime in.
As an extra jab at his fellow Kentuckian, McConnell also scoffed at the idea that Biden would ever consult with Paul on a judicial appointment.
“The President would not have been taking a recommendation from Rand Paul, I can assure you,” he said.
That is awesome.
‘cecil’: “this was just a friendship gesture.”
‘poodle’: “lier”
tankie: “I’m confused.”
McConnell also scoffed at the idea that Biden would ever consult with Paul on a judicial appointment.
GOP in DISARRAY!
KY Sens at each other’s THROATS!
May I suggest that it seems the gentlemanly way to solve this quibble and establish who is right is via a duel.
Senator Randy Paul has demonstrated that even a stopped calendar is right every 30 years or so. And “no deal”?? A “personal friendship gesture”? With Moscow Mitch and China Chao?? Folks who would take what you handed them … and your rings and watch, too?
We don’t know the complete story on this, but it smells like yesterday’s chicken packaging.
Can McConnell actually hold onto a pistol?
I presume he’ll resort to shooting lightning bolts from his fingertips, as usual.
One would think two Senators from the same State who are trying to overthrow our Government would agree wit each other views.
Can’t they all just get along?
You know what they say… once you try it!
Republican Sen. Rand Paul chided Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday after President Joe Biden decided not to nominate a conservative to a federal district courtship in their home state of Kentucky, intensifying a blame game over what McConnell believed could have been a rare Republican victory on the judiciary under a Democratic president.
Paul told CNN that McConnell never consulted with him before cutting a deal with Biden to name Chad Meredith to the post. And without Paul’s support, the White House said it wouldn’t name Meredith to the post since he lacked backing from home-state senators, relieving Democrats who were concerned with Meredith’s anti-abortion views.
“McConnell did whatever secret deal he did with the White House without talking to me,” Paul said Monday. “And so we simply said that we’re not against Meredith, but McConnell is going to at least discuss it with his other state senator.”
Paul, who said he learned about the Meredith pick from the FBI, added: “I think ultimately, McConnell is to blame for tanking this thing, because he tried to do it secretly, Democrats caught wind down of it in the state and they also tried to do it secretly even from his Republican counterpart.”
This is Newt Gingrich levels of self-defeating tantrum.
