In yet another incident showing “moderate” Republicans, RINOs, and libertarians just don’t have it in them to do what must be done to defend America from her enemies, particularly the noxious drug dealers who have murderously flooded America with deadly drugs like fentanyl, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) had a total meltdown over the Trump Administration ordering a fentanyl-carrying boat blown up off the coast of Venezuela.
For reference, the US Senator from Kentucky’s meltdown happened both online and on television after Vice President JD Vance argued on X (formerly Twitter) that the best use case of the US military is defending Americans from the drugs that have wreaked so much deadly havoc in American communities.
VP Vance commented on the matter on X after liberal activists and libertarians had a meltdown in the wake of a video of the incident, in which an American military aircraft blew up a boat allegedly carrying fentanyl and piloted by the notorious Tren de Aragua gangsters, who allegedly have a relationship with the Venezuelan regime.
Commenting on the whole situation in a post, Vice President JD Vance said, “Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military.” VP Vance then added, “Democrats: let’s send your kids to die in Russia. Republicans: actually let’s protect our people from the scum of the earth.”
Replying to the Vice President, leftist political commentator Brian Krassenstein snapped, “Killing the citizens of another nation who are civilians without any due process is called a war crime.” Firing back with undiminished furor, the vice president said, “I don’t give a shit what you call it.”
It was in response to that viral exchange that Sen. Rand Paul had his online hissy fit, snapping that JD Vance should read a much-derided children’s book to learn why we shouldn’t defend America from foreign gangsters. The senator began by saying, “JD ‘I don’t give a shit’ Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the ‘highest and best use of the military.’”
Getting to the ridiculous line about the kids’ book and insisting that the Tren de Aragua gangsters deserved a trial, Sen. Paul said, “Did he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? Did he ever wonder what might happen if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation?? What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial.”

Sen. Rand Paul also pushed much the same message when he appeared on Newsmax’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” declaring that the Trump Administration’s use of the military to target the cartels was unconscionable, a claim that many on the MAGA side of politics saw as a betrayal of the president. Watch him here:
As could be predicted, Sen. Paul got raked over the coals on X. For example, one commenter on his ridiculous post about the children’s book and need for murderous foreign gangsters to have a trial said, “How many people in Kentucky have died from the stuff those drug runners were delivering to our shores?”
Similarly, another commenter noted that dealing with the drug smugglers is a smart move by Trump, writing, “First they came for the Venezuelan narcotraffickers. And I didn’t say anything. Because I’m not a Venezuelan narcotrafficker and I think taking them out in international waters is actually a good thing for America.”
And, on much the same note, still another commenter argued, “This is the kind of attitude that got us into this mess in the first place. The days of coddling terrorists are over. You lack the will to save the Republic. Sit down, shut up, and let Trump do what you pretended you were doing.”
