US Senator Rand Paul claims to have been denied all information on US involvement with Venezuela.

Senator Rand Paul, a key figure on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, revealed that despite his critical stance towards the Trump administration's Venezuelan policies, he has been left in the dark about the details of their approach. In an interview with "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan, Paul stated that to date, he has not received any briefing information on the subject.

Paul attributed this lack of access to briefings as a result of his own skepticism towards the administration's actions. The senator believes that being informed about sensitive topics would be counterproductive to his ability to critically assess and scrutinize US policy.

The details of Paul's stance are concerning, given his position on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. His revelation has raised questions about the extent to which senators can effectively govern and make informed decisions when they lack access to crucial information.
 
I'm like totally concerned about this dude Rand Paul 🤔. I mean, you're on a committee that deals with foreign policy and national security, but you're literally getting denied info on what's going on in Venezuela? It doesn't make sense to me 😂. If he thinks being briefed would be counterproductive, then why even have the briefing? Isn't that kinda like trying to run a car without knowing how it works? 🚗

I think this is a big deal because senators are supposed to be informed and in control of their decisions, but if they're not getting the info they need, then how can we trust them to make good choices for our country? 🤦‍♂️ It's like, yeah, skepticism is important, but you still gotta have some facts on the table, you know? 💡
 
OMG 🤯 this is wild. I'm all about transparency in gov't and Rand Paul's stance is straight up concerning. Like, he's supposed to be a key figure on that committee but he can't get any info on US involvement with Venezuela? That's not how it's supposed to work. If he's genuinely skeptical of the admin's actions then maybe he shouldn't be in the dark about what they're doing 🤔. It's one thing to question policy, it's another to completely shut yourself off from the info. This whole thing is making me think that the system is super broken and we need more accountability 👀
 
can you believe this 🤯 rand paul is literally saying he wants to be in the dark about the us involvement with venezuela? that's just crazy talk! what's next, he's gonna say he doesn't want to know about his own committee meetings? come on senator, if you're really skeptical of the administration, then go talk to some sources, don't just sit there and pretend like you know what's going on. this is just a huge red flag for all the people who trust him to be an informed member of congress... 🚨
 
I'm telling ya, something fishy is going on here 🐟. Senator Rand Paul thinks he's all high and mighty because he won't take the briefings, but what if it's not him being skeptical, but rather someone else trying to keep him in the dark? I mean, think about it, who benefits from keeping an informed senator at bay? It's like they're trying to pull a fast one on us 🤥. And now that he's speaking out, you'd think they'd make some adjustments or something. But nope, just more silence and secrecy 🗣️. I'm not buying it, folks!
 
I gotta say, this is weird 🤔. Senator Rand Paul claims he's been denied info on US involvement in Venezuela, but then he just decides not to ask for it because he doesn't trust the admin 😒. Like, isn't that kinda the point of being a senator - to get briefed and make informed decisions? I mean, I'm all for skepticism, but if you're not gonna do your job, shouldn't someone else pick up the slack? 🤷‍♂️ It's actually kinda refreshing that he's being honest about it, even if his approach is pretty unorthodox.
 
I mean, what's up with that? 🤯 Rand Paul thinks he can just keep it dark in DC and we're all good? Like, I get his skepticism thingy, but come on, isn't that kinda like being a superhero who only knows their powers, not how to use them? 😂

So now he's got the whole US involvement with Venezuela thing locked down tighter than a clamshell... or in this case, maybe more like a super secure file cabinet 🗂️. I mean, what's in there that he can't talk about? Like, is it something that'll make his face turn bright red if the world finds out? 😜

Seriously though, it's a bit of a concern when you got people making policy decisions without knowing all the deets. It's like trying to cook a cake with one eye closed... or in this case, one hand tied behind your back 🤦‍♂️.
 
😒 I'm low-key worried about this, you know? Like, a senator who doesn't get briefed on sensitive topics just seems fishy to me. 🤔 I mean, Rand Paul's got a critical stance on Venezuela already, so why wouldn't he want to be in the loop? It raises some red flags about how much info is being kept from our elected officials. 💡 And what does this say about the inner workings of our government? Are we really gonna leave it up to individual judgment without any solid facts? 🤦‍♂️ I'm all for skepticism, but come on... a senator can't just opt out of briefings because they're too smart for their own good! 💥
 
🤔 This is so messed up! I mean, come on, Rand Paul thinks being in the dark about US involvement with Venezuela would be a good thing? 😒 Like he's some kind of whistleblower or something. Newsflash, Senator: if you don't know what's going on, how can you possibly make informed decisions?

And let's get real, his excuse about being skeptical and not wanting to be briefed sounds like a bunch of nonsense. 🙄 I mean, we all know he's been critical of the Trump administration's policies, but that doesn't mean he's above getting some basic intel on what they're doing.

It's just common sense, folks! If you're going to be part of the decision-making process, you need to have access to information. And if Rand Paul thinks being in the dark is going to help him "critically assess" things... 🤷‍♂️ I don't know what kind of spin he's trying to put on this, but it just doesn't add up. 😒
 
🤔 I'm not surprised at all that Senator Rand Paul is being kept in the dark about US involvement with Venezuela. I mean, who wouldn't want to keep a hawk like him from asking too many questions? 😂 But seriously, it's concerning that even senators who claim to be critical of the administration's actions are still getting a watered-down briefing. It raises questions about accountability and whether our elected officials are really doing their jobs. 💔 The fact that he believes not being informed is part of his critical assessment process just seems like a convenient excuse to me. 🤷‍♂️ Still, it's always good to keep an eye on these things and make sure we're not getting caught up in the spin. 👀
 
I'm like totally surprised by this 😮! Rand Paul as a senator on foreign relations committee should have total access to all info, you know? Like how can he even do his job if he's not getting any briefings? 🤔 It makes me super worried about the lack of transparency in gov. We need senators who are informed and can make decisions with their eyes open, not just relying on rumors or hearsay 😕. What do u think is gonna happen now that this has come out? 🤯
 
😬 I gotta say, it's kinda worrying that Senator Rand Paul feels like he's being kept in the dark about US involvement with Venezuela 🤔. As someone who's always been passionate about transparency and open communication, it makes me wonder how senators can truly make informed decisions without access to key info 💡. It raises a lot of questions about accountability and trust in government 🤝. I think we need more discussion around this issue so we can figure out ways for senators (and other officials) to get the info they need to do their jobs effectively 👊.
 
I'm kinda worried about this, you know? 😕 If a senator like Rand Paul can't get info on something as important as US involvement with Venezuela, what's up with that? 🤔 I mean, he's on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for crying out loud! You'd think they'd want to keep him in the loop. But at the same time, it makes sense that he wouldn't wanna be spoon-fed info just 'cause he's skeptical of something... unless his concerns are legit and someone's hiding something 🤑. I don't know, man... it feels like there's a bit of a cover-up going on here 🚫.
 
so now rand paul is a whistleblower 🤔, I guess it's okay that he's been kept in the dark for all this time... meanwhile the rest of us are expected to just trust him with our lives 💁‍♀️. I'm sure his skepticism towards the admin's actions has nothing to do with being on the foreign relations committee and wanting to keep his own interests safe 🤑. it's not like he's got a reputation for being open and transparent...
 
🤔 This is super suspicious, you know? A senator as influential as Rand Paul gets denied all info on a super sensitive topic like US involvement in Venezuela? That's some dodgy stuff right there 🚫. I mean, what are they hiding? It's not like this isn't something that'd be under his purview at the Foreign Relations Committee 🤷‍♂️. If he can't get briefed, how is anyone else supposed to know what's going on? It's a slippery slope when you start denying info to people who need it most 🚨.
