Sen. Rand Paul slams GOP leadership for 'dragging' caucus into 'dead' bipartisan border bill with Democrats
Fox News
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is one of more than 12 GOP senators opposing the 'emergency' border bill tacked onto the national emergency supplemental package.
Paul made his comments after Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Tuesday afternoon he thinks it's time for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to step down, arguing the longstanding leader should have walked away from supporting the border bill negotiations with Democrats and Biden administration officials.

"The Republicans who vote for this are going to be pilloried by Republicans at home," Paul said. "So, there's really no good logic in doing it this way. And I think it was because basically Sen. McConnell, Sen. [Chuck] Schumer and President Biden … they want to send more of our money to Ukraine. This was always sort of a sideshow for them in order to get what they really want, which is sending more of our money overseas."
