Senator Rand Paul exposed shocking betrayals in the Trump administration during a fiery Senate hearing. The Kentucky Republican grilled State Department nominee Joel Rayburn about his ties to former Syria envoy James Jeffrey, who admitted lying to President Trump about U.S. troop levels in the Middle East. This disgraceful deception strikes at the heart of our democracy.
Jeffrey brazenly played “shell games” to hide thousands of American soldiers from his own commander-in-chief. While President Trump fought to end endless wars, deep state operatives like Jeffrey sabotaged his America First agenda. Our troops deserve leaders who respect the Constitution – not bureaucrats treating military deployments like casino chips.
The plot thickens. Jeffrey signed the infamous 2016 “Never Trump” letter claiming the president-elect lacked “character” and “values.” Yet this swamp creature kept his powerful post while undermining Trump at every turn. Loyal Americans rightfully ask – why do anti-Trump radicals always slither into positions of influence?
During Thursday’s hearing, Paul cornered Rayburn about his close partnership with Jeffrey. The nominee called Jeffrey a “close colleague” despite his treasonous actions. When pressed, Rayburn weakly claimed “it didn’t happen” – a pathetic defense of the indefensible. True patriots don’t cover for bureaucrats who stab presidents in the back.
This scandal proves the deep state’s hatred for Trump overrides their duty to America. Jeffrey didn’t just mislead the White House – he endangered our troops by hiding their true numbers in war zones. Every parent with a child in uniform should demand accountability for this betrayal.
Democrats and their media allies remain silent about Jeffrey’s crimes. If a Trump appointee had deceived Obama, they’d be screaming for prison time. The double standard stinks worse than a DC sewer. Conservative leaders like Rand Paul stand alone in fighting the swamp monsters.
The American people elected Trump to drain the swamp. Instead, the swamp flooded the Oval Office with liars and saboteurs. James Jeffrey’s actions prove career bureaucrats think they’re above the voters. It’s time to purge every last traitor from our government.
Rand Paul’s bold questioning gives hope. Real change comes when leaders put America first – not cocktail-party pals in the foreign policy blob. The Senate must block any nominee who tolerates treachery. Our nation’s security depends on crushing the deep state once and for all.
