Rand Paul Rips ‘Incredibly Petty’ Trump Disinviting Him from the W.H. Picnic

Paul my office and ░░░░░░░░ s kind of a ░░░░░░░░ time of the year ░░░░░░░░ the summer My family ░░░░░░░░ up my son and ░░░░░░░░ in law and grandson ░░░░░░░░ coming up because we ░░░░░░░░ going to the White ░░░░░░░░ picnic But I ve ░░░░░░░░ been told that I ░░░░░░░░ been uninvited from the ░░░░░░░░ I think I m ░░░░░░░░ first senator in the ░░░░░░░░ of the United States ░░░░░░░░ be uninvited to the ░░░░░░░░ House picnic the White ░░░░░░░░ is owned by the ░░░░░░░░ We all are members ░░░░░░░░ it Every Democrat will ░░░░░░░░ invited Every Republican will ░░░░░░░░ invited but I will ░░░░░░░░ the only one disallowed ░░░░░░░░ come on the grounds ░░░░░░░░ the White House I ░░░░░░░░ find this incredibly petty ░░░░░░░░ mean I have been ░░░░░░░░ think nothing but polite ░░░░░░░░ the president I have ░░░░░░░░ a intellectual opponent a ░░░░░░░░ policy opponent and he ░░░░░░░░ chosen now to uninvite ░░░░░░░░ from the picnic and ░░░░░░░░ say my grandson can ░░░░░░░░ come to the picnic ░░░░░░░░ just the level of ░░░░░░░░ is beyond words I ░░░░░░░░ been here long enough ░░░░░░░░ if anybody has ever ░░░░░░░░ me I ve been ░░░░░░░░ critic of Obama I ░░░░░░░░ been a critic of ░░░░░░░░ I ve been a ░░░░░░░░ of the previous Trump ░░░░░░░░ always in a I ░░░░░░░░ a reasonable fashion a ░░░░░░░░ policy and so they ░░░░░░░░ decided they want to ░░░░░░░░ war on my family ░░░░░░░░ exclude us from the ░░░░░░░░ House And I just ░░░░░░░░ it s incredibly petty ░░░░░░░░ I hope someone will ░░░░░░░░ them some questions about ░░░░░░░░ they ve decided to ░░░░░░░░ to this depth RAJU ░░░░░░░░ was the explanation given ░░░░░░░░ you Paul No explanation ░░░░░░░░ re just not welcome ░░░░░░░░ you have to get ░░░░░░░░ ticket and we ve ░░░░░░░░ gotten tickets I mean ░░░░░░░░ ve been to 10 ░░░░░░░░ House picnics There s ░░░░░░░░ Easter egg rolls there ░░░░░░░░ picnics This is for ░░░░░░░░ And I think what ░░░░░░░░ particularly galling about it ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ this came from the ░░░░░░░░ on down let s ░░░░░░░░ not but if not ░░░░░░░░ s coming from his ░░░░░░░░ staffers who have been ░░░░░░░░ a sort of a ░░░░░░░░ influencer campaign against me ░░░░░░░░ two weeks on Twitter ░░░░░░░░ you look at my ░░░░░░░░ it s just gobs ░░░░░░░░ gobs of these people ░░░░░░░░ know they re being ░░░░░░░░ because the White House ░░░░░░░░ has told us that ░░░░░░░░ White House called them ░░░░░░░░ the White House and ░░░░░░░░ them money to attack ░░░░░░░░ online So we have ░░░░░░░░ and now we re ░░░░░░░░ to the picnic And ░░░░░░░░ s like I don ░░░░░░░░ know it s just ░░░░░░░░ petty And it shows ░░░░░░░░ look I m arguing ░░░░░░░░ a true belief and ░░░░░░░░ that our country is ░░░░░░░░ in debt and getting ░░░░░░░░ And they choose to ░░░░░░░░ by uninviting my grandson ░░░░░░░░ the picnic I don ░░░░░░░░ know I just think ░░░░░░░░ really makes me lose ░░░░░░░░ lot of respect I ░░░░░░░░ had for Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ 1 You were already ░░░░░░░░ no on the bill ░░░░░░░░ of the debt limit ░░░░░░░░ that was included in ░░░░░░░░ But hypothetically they could ░░░░░░░░ that get you to ░░░░░░░░ yes Does this make ░░░░░░░░ less likely to get ░░░░░░░░ a yes I mean ░░░░░░░░ Well when they tell ░░░░░░░░ your grandson can t ░░░░░░░░ to a picnic at ░░░░░░░░ White House that all ░░░░░░░░ is allowed to come ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ just shows such a ░░░░░░░░ But they have shown ░░░░░░░░ the last week they ░░░░░░░░ t care about my ░░░░░░░░ at all Because I ░░░░░░░░ told them I can ░░░░░░░░ would vote for the ░░░░░░░░ if the debt ceiling ░░░░░░░░ taken off of it ░░░░░░░░ conceivably there might be ░░░░░░░░ situation in which they ░░░░░░░░ my vote Instead they ░░░░░░░░ decided to try to ░░░░░░░░ my character They ve ░░░░░░░░ people saying he s ░░░░░░░░ Democrat he s for ░░░░░░░░ borders and all this ░░░░░░░░ online Because I think ░░░░░░░░ m having some effect ░░░░░░░░ the argument on the ░░░░░░░░ having effect that we ░░░░░░░░ a 2 trillion deficit ░░░░░░░░ year They like to ░░░░░░░░ it on Democrats but ░░░░░░░░ what The spending levels ░░░░░░░░ now are Republican spending ░░░░░░░░ If they vote to ░░░░░░░░ the debt ceiling 5 ░░░░░░░░ the debt will be ░░░░░░░░ responsibility of Republicans And ░░░░░░░░ how do they choose ░░░░░░░░ respond They re afraid ░░░░░░░░ what I m saying ░░░░░░░░ they think they re ░░░░░░░░ to punish me if ░░░░░░░░ can t go to ░░░░░░░░ picnic as if somehow ░░░░░░░░ s going to make ░░░░░░░░ more conciliatory So it ░░░░░░░░ silly in a way ░░░░░░░░ it s also just ░░░░░░░░ sad that this is ░░░░░░░░ it s come to ░░░░░░░░ petty vindictiveness like this ░░░░░░░░ don t know it ░░░░░░░░ you wonder about the ░░░░░░░░ of people you re ░░░░░░░░ with RAJU How many ░░░░░░░░ your family was disinvited ░░░░░░░░ many people were supposed ░░░░░░░░ come Paul My son ░░░░░░░░ daughter in law and ░░░░░░░░ grandson are coming up ░░░░░░░░ a flight And they ░░░░░░░░ be here in the ░░░░░░░░ and then we d ░░░░░░░░ there tomorrow afternoon And ░░░░░░░░ wife and I we ░░░░░░░░ been we probably have ░░░░░░░░ every year President Obama ░░░░░░░░ t disinvite us The ░░░░░░░░ President Trump didn t ░░░░░░░░ us Biden didn t ░░░░░░░░ us And we always ░░░░░░░░ this you ll hear ░░░░░░░░ around town say Well ░░░░░░░░ m not going to ░░░░░░░░ Christmas party because President ░░░░░░░░ s White House It ░░░░░░░░ our White House it ░░░░░░░░ the Americans White House ░░░░░░░░ all pay for it ░░░░░░░░ we ve always gone ░░░░░░░░ the Christmas parties whether ░░░░░░░░ was a Republican or ░░░░░░░░ Democrat We ve gone ░░░░░░░░ the egg roll We ░░░░░░░░ this stuff We like ░░░░░░░░ to celebrate stuff in ░░░░░░░░ nation s capital with ░░░░░░░░ family And I don ░░░░░░░░ know it s just ░░░░░░░░ think a really sad ░░░░░░░░ that this is the ░░░░░░░░ of warfare they ve ░░░░░░░░ to But it s ░░░░░░░░ not very effective It ░░░░░░░░ has the opposite result ░░░░░░░░ know it doesn t ░░░░░░░░ me have a real ░░░░░░░░ fuzzy feeling for the ░░░░░░░░ House that they re ░░░░░░░░ my family can t ░░░░░░░░ to the White House ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ m just disappointed more ░░░░░░░░ anything RAJU What does ░░░░░░░░ say about Trump s ░░░░░░░░ in your opinion Paul ░░░░░░░░ who knows if it ░░░░░░░░ from him it could ░░░░░░░░ from lower level staff ░░░░░░░░ But these are people ░░░░░░░░ shouldn t be working ░░░░░░░░ there But I mean ░░░░░░░░ have people that are ░░░░░░░░ going around casually talking ░░░░░░░░ getting rid of habeas ░░░░░░░░ Habeas corpus is when ░░░░░░░░ know a tyrant throws ░░░░░░░░ in jail they can ░░░░░░░░ to a lawyer who ░░░░░░░░ show me the body ░░░░░░░░ have to prove why ░░░░░░░░ s put in jail ░░░░░░░░ s one of the ░░░░░░░░ fundamental rights we have ░░░░░░░░ the same people that ░░░░░░░░ directing this campaign are ░░░░░░░░ same people that casually ░░░░░░░░ throw out parts of ░░░░░░░░ Constitution and suspend habeas ░░░░░░░░ So I think what ░░░░░░░░ tells it they don ░░░░░░░░ like hearing me say ░░░░░░░░ like that And so ░░░░░░░░ want to quiet me ░░░░░░░░ and it hasn t ░░░░░░░░ And so they re ░░░░░░░░ to try to attack ░░░░░░░░ they re going to ░░░░░░░░ to destroy me in ░░░░░░░░ ways and then do ░░░░░░░░ little things like social ░░░░░░░░ or whatever But you ░░░░░░░░ it probably will not ░░░░░░░░ it probably will not ░░░░░░░░ me cow down or ░░░░░░░░ over RAJU You re ░░░░░░░░ about Stephen Miller reporter ░░░░░░░░ Do you think Stephen ░░░░░░░░ uninvited you from the ░░░░░░░░ House Paul I don ░░░░░░░░ know I think that ░░░░░░░░ s somebody acting in ░░░░░░░░ very petty way And ░░░░░░░░ that s the truth ░░░░░░░░ m a big boy ░░░░░░░░ we can go have ░░░░░░░░ picnic in another park ░░░░░░░░ know we can go ░░░░░░░░ the mall But it ░░░░░░░░ just really kind of ░░░░░░░░ that this is where ░░░░░░░░ are And that they ░░░░░░░░ that this is somehow ░░░░░░░░ their prerogative to sort ░░░░░░░░ I mean literally every ░░░░░░░░ is invited every Republican ░░░░░░░░ invited And to say ░░░░░░░░ my family s no ░░░░░░░░ welcome kind of sad ░░░░░░░░ My grandson has a ░░░░░░░░ America Great hat My ░░░░░░░░ and daughter in law ░░░░░░░░ like Donald Trump I ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump But when ░░░░░░░░ want to act this ░░░░░░░░ it s where they ░░░░░░░░ to lose a lot ░░░░░░░░ America who just wonders ░░░░░░░░ does everything have to ░░░░░░░░ to this level Why ░░░░░░░░ t anything be more ░░░░░░░░ and more of a ░░░░░░░░ discussion where we have ░░░░░░░░ disagreement but it doesn ░░░░░░░░ have to descend to ░░░░░░░░ RAJU Do you think ░░░░░░░░ Miller should be working ░░░░░░░░ the White House Do ░░░░░░░░ think Stephen Miller should ░░░░░░░░ working in the White ░░░░░░░░ Paul I m just ░░░░░░░░ to leave it at ░░░░░░░░ reporter 3 How did ░░░░░░░░ let you know about ░░░░░░░░ you re disinvited Paul ░░░░░░░░ we just tried to ░░░░░░░░ our tickets and they ░░░░░░░░ you re not invited ░░░░░░░░ 3 And how old ░░░░░░░░ your grandson Paul He ░░░░░░░░ he is almost six ░░░░░░░░ old reporter 3 OK ░░░░░░░░ a little guy Yeah
