VIDEO: Rand Paul accuses Trump’s CIA Director nominee of ENJOYING TORTURE

Rand Paul is clearly not crazy about Mike Pompeo or Gina Haspel, accusing Pompeo of being a neocon who wants to get us into a war with Iran and accusing Haspel of enjoying torture too much or something.

Watch:

I’ve always hated the way the Pauls throw around the word ‘neocon’. There’s only one neocon that comes to mind as I type this post and that’s Sen. John McCain. But to people like Paul, anyone who wants to prevent nations like Iran and N. Korea from getting ballistic nukes is called a ‘neocon’. If you ask me, we should have bombed Iran a long time ago and Bolton suggested. But Obama had other plans, as we full well know, to ensure Iran actually gets nuclear weapons.

As far as Haspel, I don’t really know her but I think it’s an abhorrent charge to suggest she enjoyed ‘torturing’ jihadis. First of all it wasn’t torture, it was enhanced interrogations. And from what I understand, it’s the same techniques we use on our on men in training. Secondly, people who work in ‘justice’ jobs often have a heightened sense of duty and justice because they really want to protect this nation and put the ‘bad guys’ away. That heightened sense could be misconstrued as ‘enjoyment’, but it’s absolutely not any pleasure of the kind that he’s ascribing to her.

Besides, many reputable people on the right have said that Haspel is perfect for the job.

While I do like Rand Paul on some issues, it’s videos like this that remind me of why I was so against him becoming president. Just like his father.
