Rand Paul, July 2013: “[Chris Christie and Former Long Island GOP Congressman Peter King are] precisely the same people who are unwilling to cut the spending, and they’re ‘Gimme, gimme, gimme – give me all my Sandy money now. Those are the people who are bankrupting the government and not letting enough money be left over for national defense. So I think it’s those people who are making us weak in defense.”
Rand Paul, December 2021: “Dear President Biden, Last night and early this morning devastating Storms swept across multiple States, including Kentucky. A single tornado from that system may have been on the ground for over 200 miles, and a large swath of the Commonwealth has been severely hit. As the sun comes up this morning We will begin to understand the true scope of the devastation, but we already know Of loss of life and severe property damage. The Governor Of the Commonwealth has requested federal assistance this morning, and certainly further requests will be coming as the situation is assessed. I fully support those requests and ask that you move expeditiously to approve the appropriate resources for our State. Sincerely, Rand Paul, US Senator”
