JUST IN: Rand Paul Has Been UNINVITED To The White House Picnic – POLITICO
Sen. Rand Paul says he and his family have been uninvited from the White House picnic for members of Congress, accusing the administration of targeting him over his opposition to some of President Donald Trump’s policies.
“I think I’m the first senator in the history of the United States to be uninvited to the White House picnic,” Paul told reporters on Wednesday. “I just find this incredibly petty. I mean — I have been, I think, nothing but polite to the President.”
Paul said he found out that he has been taken off the guest list when he reached out about picking up tickets but was told instead was told that he and his family would not be allowed to attend. He specified he did not know if the President or a White House staffer had made the call to uninvite him but said the “level of immaturity is beyond words.”
