Rand Paul actually said...

"Somebody has to stand up and yell, ‘The emperor has no clothes.'"

"I’m not for continuing the Biden spending levels or the Biden deficits. Once the Republicans vote for this, the Republicans are going to own the deficit."

"The project afoot isn’t going to fix the deficit at all."

"I think it's not worth the appearance of impropriety, whether it's improper or not"
