Republican Rand Paul Criticizes GOP For Adding To National Debt, Says 'They Are Ruining The Country'

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul criticized his Republican colleagues for proposing increased coronavirus relief spending on Tuesday.

After attending a luncheon to discuss plans for the next federal stimulus package, Paul, a Republican, denounced the Senate GOP for spending recommendations that would raise the national debt. He later referred to its members as "Bernie bros" in comments to reporters.

"This is insane, they are ruining the country," Paul said of the "fiscally irresponsible" spending initiatives outlined by GOP representatives, according to the Washington Times. The Kentucky senator went on to voice his disapproval on Twitter, where he targeted Republicans' proposed stimulus funds for education.


"Just came from Progressive Democrat, whoops, I'm mean Republican caucus:
They're going to spend $105b more on education, more than we spend every year on the Dept of Education. Anyone remember when Reagan conservatives were for eliminating the Federal Dept. of Education?" Paul wrote.
