Kentucky Senator Rand Paul took to Fox News to blast CNN and the general media coverage about his hypocritical views on disaster relief. He previously openly criticized providing federal disaster relief to Puerto Rico and Texas on the Senate floor, and now he wants whatever funding is necessary to help his state after devastating tornadoes swept through large parts of Kentucky. Ana Kasparian discusses on The Young Turks.

Rand Paul (R-KY) lamented on Fox News on Tuesday what he called CNN’s “dishonest” coverage of his view of disaster relief following tornadoes that devastated Kentucky and other Midwest states over the weekend. CNN’s John Avlon on Monday called out Paul’s supposed hypocrisy when it comes to federal disaster relief. On Saturday, Paul sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking for “expeditious approval of any request for federal assistance” by Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear. “[He] has a long record of opposing federal aid for disaster victims, except, apparently, for when it impacts his constituents,” said Avlon. “Suddenly, all of those reflexive attacks on ‘socialist big-government spending’ don’t seem to apply.”” *** The largest online progressive news show in the world.
