Senator Rand Paul
is not happy with some of the cabinet picks by president-elect Donald Trump. So
much so that he took to Twitter today to deliver an ‘airing of grievances’.
Paul tweeted that he was celebrating
“Festivus,” a reference to an episode of the sitcom “Seinfeld,” during which a
non-commercial Christmas is celebrated by the characters in December 23rd. The
airing of grievances in the episode is an opportunity for the characters to
lash out at each other and everything around them that has annoyed or
frustrated them for the past year.
Good
morning Seinfeld fans and Happy Festivus everywhere! Today I'll have my annual #AiringofGrievances. Join me here
throughout the day...
Hello again, I hope everyone is having a
Happy Festivus! It's once again time for my annual #AiringofGrievances...pic.twitter.com/pZfRtAUtZN
Paul
began his Twitter storm by poking fun at “fake news,” stating that ‘Festivus is
real,’ and adding that ‘The Onion is more accurate than a Brian Williams
report’:
Paul
then turned to Trump’s cabinet picks, referencing Infowars’ own Alex Jones to
make a point:
Paul
followed up on his ‘Bilderberger’ jibe by referencing billionaire Paypal owner
Peter Thiel, an actual Bilderberg member, who is involved with the Trump
transition team.
The
libertarian Senator also hit out at neocon John Bolton, who was being touted
for the Secretary of State position, prior to Trump’s appointment of Exxon CEO
Rex Tillerson.:
Paul
also mocked Texas Governor Rick Perry, who has been slated to run the
Department of Energy, a department Perry previously stated that he wished to
abolish:
Paul has been outspoken in his opposition
to some of the names Trump has floated to take positions in his administration,
warning that some are ‘unfit’ for government.
Trump has come under increased scrutiny in recent days as some have accused him of abandoning a campaign promise to ‘drain the swamp’ of Washington insiders.
