Paul was the guest of Dom Giordano, a radio talk show host on Philadelphia\u2019s WPHT 1210 am.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to a standing-room-only crowd at Zlock Performing Arts Center at Bucks County Community College in Newtown, Pa., Kentucky\u2019s junior senator took questions from Giordano as the two sat in two chairs on a stage. They touched on many political topics, including the COVID pandemic, masks, vaccines, congressional hearings with Dr. Anthony Fauci, Ukraine, government spending, the COVID investigation, and TikTok. Paul also briefly discussed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-rand-paul-offers-dr-rachel-levine-as-example-of-radical-agenda-riding-bidens-coattails\/\" title=\"Sen. Rand Paul Offers Dr. Rachel Levine As Example Of Radical Agenda Riding Biden\u2019s Coattails\">upcoming presidential election<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>During the conversation, Paul mentioned two government officials with local ties: former Pennsylvania Secretary of Health (and current Assistant Secretary for Health and Admiral of the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps) Rachel Levine and Senator John Fetterman (D-PA).<\/p>\n<p>While reflecting on the pandemic, Paul brought up an incident involving Levine, Pennsylvania\u2019s Secretary of Health at the time. The senator referenced the controversy from May 2020, in which Levine removed his mother from a nursing home shortly after introducing a policy that required all of Pennsylvania\u2019s nursing homes and other health facilities to admit patients from hospitals in the area who were treated for COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt makes me mad that she takes her mom out,\u201d Paul said. \u201cLeave your mom in a nursing home. I\u2019m taking my mom home because I know a nursing home is a crappy place to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou want to get mad,\u201d Paul said. \u201cThink about the people whose loved ones were putting their hands to windows as they were dying. Think of all the people who died alone. It makes me so mad to think of this person. The hypocrisy of her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey shouldn\u2019t be telling us to do one thing while they do the other,\u201d Paul said to cheers from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Paul then detailed an incident involving Fetterman during the Senate\u2019s debate regarding aid for Ukraine. First, he complimented the senator\u2019s \u201cself-deprecating humor\u201d pertaining to a conspiracy from 2023 in which people claimed Fetterman was using a body double. Paul said he found his response to the ordeal humorous.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was accused of having a doppelganger, having a double who does things for him,\u201d Paul said. \u201cHe made fun of it on video. I think self-deprecating humor is kind of funny, so I complimented him. This was three or four months ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut now he\u2019s using profanity about me and saying I\u2019m keeping us there on the weekend just for fun,\u201d Paul said regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2852197\/john-fetterman-slams-rand-paul-foreign-aid-bill-holdup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fetterman\u2019s comments about Paul during the Ukraine debate<\/a>. \u201cI would rather go home on the weekend.

The entire affair lasted approximately 90 minutes. After Paul departed, the crowd also gave an ovation to the host, Dom Giordano. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) engaged in a \u201cPolitics and Pints\u201d event at a Philadelphia suburbs community college Thursday.
