Rand Paul calls for Cuomo to be impeached over coronavirus response
By Kaelan Deese - 07/22/20 05:18 PM EDT


Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) called Wednesday for the impeachment of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) over his handling of the state's coronavirus outbreak, saying, "the people we are lauding are actually making catastrophic decisions."

"I think Governor Cuomo should be impeached ... for the disastrous decision he made to send patients with coronavirus back to nursing homes ... virtually half his people who died were in nursing homes," Paul said on Fox News's "Rundown" morning podcast.

Earlier in the show, Paul called into question the pandemic lockdown imposed in New York in March, referencing the surge of cases across the state despite the shelter-in-place orders.

"Under age 45, this disease we're looking at is less dangerous than the seasonal flu. Above age 45, it's more dangerous than the seasonal flu," he said.

Paul, who became the first senator to contract the novel coronavirus back in March, has been vocal about the U.S. pandemic response, repeatedly saying that a small subset of health experts should not be making the rules on their own.

The Republican senator publicly questioned leading infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci, saying in June that the epidemiologist advising the nation's response to COVID-19 should provide "more optimism" about America's approach.

1. Rand Paul Is A Nuisance

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My god, he is so stupid!

[Ohiogal]

3. I think

He just wants the spotlight since he’s so irrelevant, so he blabbers this outrageous nonsense to get his name in a headline.

Go back to raking your yard, Randy.

4. Where in the f**k is rand Paul's neighbor when we need him

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. My first thought

[still_one]

19. +++

[smirkymonkey]

28. Just what I was thinking.

He has some "unfinished business" waiting for him.

[Goodheart]

5. That's New York's business, not his.

[C_U_L8R]

6. Kentucky. Say no more.

[dawg day]

7. But... but.... Cuomo's plan worked.

+626 new cases today. Only 7 new deaths.

vs. 12K new cases on April days and 1000 new deaths.


compared to Florida's +9,785 new cases today, and 140 deaths.

and what business is it to a Kentucky senator?

He's just an a-hole.

[ResistantAmerican17]

8. I was about to curse Kentucky's douche bag, subhuman skidmark Senators but I live in Texas

Shit!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Why does that tiresome asshole think he has anything to say

about the governor of a state he has nothing to do with? Fuck that guy. I understand why his neighbor kicked his ass and I hope he does it again.

[stillcool]

10. why is it every time one of these...

yahoo's has something to say, it results in a blistering rage running through me?

[roamer65]

11. I don't blame that neighbor for beating him up.

I would have been tempted as well.

[lastlib]

12. Did you hear a gurgling noise??

[Budi]

13. He's writing the beginning narrative to run an anti Democrat against Cuomo.

We'll see who emerges as the challenger.

Paul is a Libertarian. I can about guess where this is leading & where the 'more pure' challenger to Cuomo will emerge from.
But 1st comes the damage to Cuomo's reputation.
The smear, the swiftboating, the negative re-imaging of a targeted candidate. The manufactured "doubt" is the 1st step.

We'll see who follows Paul's messaging.
They'll show their face ..be sure.

[Ohiogal]

14. I'm beginning to think

Rump knows more about medical issues than this idiotic windbag who claims to be a physician

[diva77]

15. Is the Lincoln Project planing on targeting Rand Paul, perhaps?

[shenmue]

16. Hahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Dumbass.

[spanone]

18. FUCK RAND PAUL

[JDC]

20. Just a bombastic twerp doing what he always does

[moondust]

21. Dr. Masks Optional?

Anyone that screwed up has no business dangerously misleading the public from a position in medicine or public office.

Gov. Cuomo proposed invoking the Defense Production Act back in March. If he had been President and done that there would be thousands fewer dead, permanently damaged, and sick Americans today and in the future.

[brush]

22. Is this the same idiot who got tested but instead of quarantining himself,

swamp in the Congressional swimming pool and met with other senators?

He's nothing but a contrarian who gets attention that way. Fuck him. Cuomo handled an unknown and unprecedented quandry better than the other governors. He set the standard really and others learned from him, except for the repug, red state, trump sycophant governors.

[Progressive Jones]

23. Rand Paul is such a funny little monkey! nt

[gratuitous]

24. What does Rand have to say about Florida Gov. DeSantis?

A brief precis of DeSantis's fecklessness with lots of snark here.

DeSantis started reopening Florida, which arguably was never fully “closed," in May. The seven-day average for cases was under 700. Now it's about 11,000, which is more. It's easy to dismiss DeSantis as a bumbling fool. I mean, just look at him. But there's compelling evidence that the governor's actions haven't just been stupid and negligent but calculated and sinister.

But at least some right-wing dumbasses are wondering where DeSantis goes to get his apology. So Rand gives DeSantis a pass. Just because.

25. Is this the same Rand Paul who refused to wear a mask even after testing positive?

[lindysalsagal]

26. All I ever hear is praise for Cuomo.

[LiberalFighter]

27. Rand Paul should be impeached from Kentucky.

[smirkymonkey]

29. I can think of a better idea.

But I can't say it here.

[LiberalFighter]

30. I can think of worse.

And if it was legal I would volunteer to do it myself. Of course, I would need to wear surgical garb and mask.
