Rand Paul Says Joe Biden’s ‘A National Security Risk Because’ Of His ‘Cognitive Decline’: “He’s Sending Signals No One In Their Right Mind Would Want To Send To Russia At This Point
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) went on Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” and dropped the hammer on President Joe Biden saying his cognitive decline is a national security threat after the president made multiple important gaffes in Europe where he went to steady nerves not start WW3.
Host Jesse Watters asked Paul, “Are you surprised by these comments, Senator?”
Paul said: “Well, you know, a lot of times when you’re around somebody who’s in cognitive decline, you find yourself trying to help them with a sentence, trying to help them complete it, and say, oh no, that’s not what you really mean.
“Let me help you complete the sentence. But we shouldn’t have to do that for the commander-in-chief.
“And it is actually a national security risk.
“Because he’s sending signals that no one in their right mind would want to send to Russia at this point.
“We aren’t trying to replace Putin in Russia, we aren’t trying to have regime change, we’re not sending troops into Ukraine, and we’re not going to respond in kind with chemical weapons.
“So, none of those things are true.
“But, you know, he lives in an alternate universe where he just says they’re not true and he didn’t say them.
“So, I guess you’re supposed to look the other way.
“But even the left-wing media is noticing these gaffes.
“So, I do think that it is a real problem.
“And there’s a humorous angle to this, but it’s really not funny.
“I mean, because we’re worried about what he’s saying precipitating or escalating the conflict in Ukraine into a world war.
“That’s very serious.”
“You know, it’s just intemperate speech, is what it is. And we have it in the Senate, as well,” he said.
