Rand 'no evidence' Paul is into fact-avoidance as much as he was 10 years ago.

2011 - With Record Number Of Americans Falling Into Poverty, Rand Paul Says The Poor Are Getting Rich

[...]

Citing the deficit as a primary priority, Paul questioned whether federal low-income programs are “creating unnecessary and unhealthy dependence on government.” He unequivocally declared that “poverty is not a state of permanence” and that “the rich are getting richer, but the poor are getting richer even faster.”

PAUL: We also need to understand that poverty is not a state of permanence. When you look at people in the bottom 5th of the economic ladder — those at the bottom — only 5 percent are there after 16 years. People move up, the American dream does exist…The rich are getting richer, but the poor are getting richer even faster.

Paul takes a situation includes a touch of truth, then misrepresents and denies the facts of the matter. Classic contrarianism.

Rand 'herd immunity' Paul also bears responsibility for thousands of unnecessary American deaths.

By Ryland Barton • May 20, 2020

Andy Beshear is a “dictator” because of restrictions imposed to help slow down the spread of the virus.

On Paul's claim secretaries of state illegally changed election laws. One Rand 'herd immunity' Paul would be referring to would be Pennsylvania.

Fact-checking Hawley’s claim about Pennsylvania’s election law
If Your Time is short

* The Pennsylvania Constitution sets specific reasons that voters can vote absentee, such as illness. It does not explicitly forbid mail-in voting.

* In October 2019, the Pennsylvania General Assembly passed Act 77 to permit no-excuse, mail-in voting

* The state Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit challenging the law after the election, concluding it was untimely.

"The Kentucky senator responded, "What I would suggest is that if we want greater confidence in our
elections -- and 75% of Republicans agree with me -- is that we do need to look at election integrity.""

Yeah. How many Republicans believe your integrity is suspect, Mr. Paul.
