One of the worst senators, hell one of the worst human beings in the U.S. Senate, Rand Paul, is up for reelection this year. The voters of Kentucky owe this country an apology for giving us Rand Paul AND the “Grim Reaper of Democracy,” Mitch McConnell. WTF Kentucky!
LEX 18 reports, Sen. Rand Paul does not show up to scheduled debate with Charles Booker in U.S. Senate race:
Five weeks from Tuesday, Kentuckians will vote and decide whether to send Senator Rand Paul back to Washington or to replace him with his Democratic challenger, Charles Booker. But voters will likely not get the chance to see the two candidates go head-to-head on the debate stage.
On Monday, KET’s Kentucky Tonight hosted what was scheduled to be a debate between Booker and Paul. However, KET says Paul did not respond to their invitation. So, Booker took the stage alone.
🚨 Wow. We just found out that Rand skipped our debate tonight so he could attend a fundraiser with his big money friends.
Unlike Rand, I showed up tonight and will show up everyday for Kentucky when elected.

Rand Paul and I are supposed to debate tonight.
They even had a cup of water ready for him. Coward. pic.twitter.com/V7OTy3kZPj

Rand Paul is desperate, small, and despicable.
Instead of debating me, he put out a sinister ad blaming me for the congressional shooting 5 yrs ago, violence around the country, and his neighbor beating him up.
Rand, stop the weak lies and dog whistles. Your hate won’t win.

Before he went on air, Booker told LEX 18 that Paul’s decision to not show up is “disrespectful” to voters.
“It’s an affront to the democratic process. If you are running for office, you should make your case about why you believe your vision is best suited for the people,” Booker said. “That’s what I’m doing. That’s what we’re doing across the Commonwealth. That’s why we’re organizing. That’s why I’m here tonight. He should be here too. He’s not entitled to this Senate seat. It doesn’t belong to him. It belongs to the people of Kentucky.”
No other U.S. Senate debate has been publicly announced, meaning Paul and Booker will likely not take the same stage to answer questions before voters cast their ballots.
