Rand Paul Slams Brennan: ‘Most Biased, Bigoted … Hyperbolic, Unhinged Director of the CIA’ Ever

Click here: “John Brennan started out his adulthood by voting for the Communist Party presidential candidate. He is now ending his career by showing himself to be the most biased, bigoted, over the top, hyperbolic, sort of unhinged director of the CIA we have ever had. And really it is an insult to everything about our government to have a former head of the CIA calling the President treasonous just because he doesn’t like him. But realize that Brennan — you know, I filibustered Brennan, I tried to keep Brennan from ever being the leader of the CIA. But realize that Brennan and Clapper are known for wanting to expand the authority of the intelligence agencies to grab up everyone’s information, including Americans. So I don’t have a lot of respect for these people. Even before they decided to go on hating the president, I disliked these people because they wanted to grab up so much power and use it against the American people.”
