Observers were shocked this weekend after Rand Paul, a Republican senator, delivered a brutal takedown of Vice President JD Vance.
Raw Story reported late Saturday that Paul took on Vance, who claimed he doesn't "give a s---" when someone said Vance might have been inadvertently endorsing war crimes on social media.
Paul replied to Vance's statement in part by writing, "What a despicable and thoughtless sentiment it is to glorify killing someone without a trial."
The attack on his own Republican ex-colleague had the internet abuzz, with New York Times journalist Glenn Thrush replying on Sunday with, "Wow."
Republicans against Trump wrote, "Thank you for your moral clarity on this. JD Vance is a despicable and cynical politician."
PatriotTakes, which purports to track right-wing extremism, asked Paul, "How do we know there were not any human trafficking victims on that boat?"
Former prosecutor Ron Filipkowski commented, "When even Rand Paul thinks you’re despicable."
Veteran John Jackson chimed in, "Getting called out by Rand Paul is a helluva thing."
"He’s totally correct," Jackson added.
Former Republican declared, "Rand Paul is right."
"The Trump administration must be held accountable for murder," they added.
Devin Duke said, "I don't usually agree with Rand Paul but he takes JD Vance to school here."
"JD has become a rabid power lusting maniac since becoming VP," Duke then added.
Conservative attorney and anti-Trump activist George Conway said, "You are absolutely correct, Senator. Thank you for speaking with such moral clarity here."
