Rand Paul Calls for a Vote to Repeal Mask Mandates on Airplanes


"It's a joke. It's theater, and there's no reason to be wearing them on the planes."

"I don't want someone yammering at me to put my mask on in between peanuts.... I'm paying you money. Treat me like a customer!"


?s=20&t=DxUdQdHZlP6Fa0OsGdfGxA










Put @randpaul son on the no-fly list that the airlines are requesting. Now I see why the @SenateGOP is pushing back.

(CBS/AP) CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The son of U.S. Sen. Rand Paul is accused of assaulting a flight attendant during a trip from Kentucky to North Carolina.

The Charlotte Observer reported over the weekend that 19-year-old William Paul was charged with misdemeanor assault on a female by aggressive physical force. The paper had previously reported that he also was charged with underage drinking, disorderly conduct and being intoxicated and disruptive.

The newspaper quoted Lt. Shawn Crooks as saying all the charges against Paul were filed the day of the incident, Jan. 5.

Grandpa, Dad, Junior... Nineteen and flying drunk underage. Great job of raising that little shit, Randy. Those are some wonderful Republican "family values" you have there.

You're being treated like a customer who violated the terms of the transaction.

Complaining when you violated the agreement, Senator Libertarian?

I suggest we let Random fly. With his next door neighbor in the next seat. In coach class.

would have no trouble at all understanding airborne transmission of a respiratory virus. Particularly in the close quarters of an aircraft.

If only poor witto Rand was a "real" doctor.

People around you don't want to smell the stench that comes out of your mouth, Senator.
