Rand Paul: GOP lawmakers ‘don’t give a s‑‑‑ about these people in the boats’

  • Senator Rand Paul criticized Republican colleagues for their lack of concern about the deaths of people in boat strikes alleged to be drug traffickers, stating they 'don't give a s‑‑‑ about these people in the boats.'
  • Paul expressed concern that many killed in these strikes are 'probably poor people in Venezuela and Colombia,' highlighting the lack of presumption of innocence in these cases.
  • He accused the Trump administration of using these strikes as a 'pretense' to justify actions against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, raising legal concerns among critics about violations of the laws of war.
  • Paul pointed out that the targeted boats are not reaching the U.S. but instead are transporting cocaine to Europe, questioning the justification behind the strikes.
