Kentucky Senator Rand Paul's decision not to back President Donald Trump's national emergency exposed a growing rift in the Republican Party.
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul's decision not to back President Donald Trump's border-based national emergency exposed a growing rift in the Republican Party—between those who profess extreme loyalty to Trump and those whose ultimate devotion is to the U.S. Constitution.
Paul received praise from many Constitution-minded conservatives, but Trump supporters used vitriolic language and called him "the new John McCain," a reference to the late senator's refusal to back the GOP's 2017 Obamacare repeal. The son of perhaps the country's most famous libertarian, Ron Paul, asked conservatives to remember how they felt when former President Barack Obama used executive actions. Paul said,"I would literally lose my political soul if I decided to treat President Trump different than President Obama."
"Donald J. Trump agreed with me when he said in November 2014 that President Barack Obama couldn’t make a deal on immigration so “now he has to use executive action, and this is a very, very dangerous thing that should be overridden easily by the Supreme Court.” Screenshot: @realdonaldtrump Twitter "Apparently Rand Paul is unclear on the National Emergencies Act. I suggest he spend less time in front of the cameras and more time understanding the law. P.S., Does Rand Paul ever do anything positive for America or does he just stop others from doing anything positive?" tweeted YourVoice America host Bill Mitchell.
"STAND WITH THE PRESIDENT! I very strong [sic] disagree with you on this ! Republicans are why we are having such battle now with far left. The republican people who voted you in will not vote for you again for the stand against the wall," wrote one irate fan of Paul's U.S. Senate page.
