theRightScoop: Rand Paul’s amendment “To prohibit the sale, lease, transfer, retransfer, or delivery of F-16 aircraft, M1 tanks, or certain other defense articles or services to the Government of Egypt” failed in the Senate today by a vote of 79-19.
Here's Rand's reaction:
Just to clarify, the vote was to ‘table’ the amendment which is why there are more YEAs than NAYs. Here’s the roll call vote:
This vote actually gives you a stark illustration of the hurdles this country faces...one side composed of statist Democrats and establishment Republicans who are running business as usual into oblivion, throwing our money and arms around, arming our enemies in this case...the other side composed of those trying to preserve our nation and protect both it and our allies.
