Rand Paul unloads on Mitch McConnell and his 'secret deal' with Democrats on nomination of anti-abortion judge

 Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky unloaded on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) over a "secret deal" he made with Democrats to nominate a conservative federal judge.

The reported deal would have put Chad Meredith on a vacant district court position in Kentucky, but Paul used a well-known Senate rule to kill the nomination.

On Monday, Paul spoke to reporters about his decision and blasted McConnell in the process.

“This was McConnell doing a secret deal behind the scenes to get something he wanted, without any consultation," said Paul to NBC News.

Paul said that McConnell never talked to him about the nomination of Meredith and that the first he'd heard about it was when the FBI called him about it for a background check.

“Senator McConnell — he thought it was beneath himself to actually talk to me," Paul continued. "Senator McConnell sabotaged this by doing it in secret.” ..........

That's a little odd.  When it comes to judicial nominations, McConnell knows the ropes, so he must have known that word of the nomination would get back to Paul sooner or later.

Odd?  Not the first time Mitch has made or been caught making 'secret deals' or lying when questioned by members of the Senate.

That's why he's a RINO. He always will be and will never change.  He has been a detriment to this country and to the GOP.
