| Description | Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) said Thursday that Minority Leader Mitch McConnell doesn't always represent what's best for the Republican Party.
When asked whether McConnell's positions reflect what most Republicans would like to see out of their leader, Bunning said: "Not all the time." And he said that many Republicans would like to see McConnell and the Senate GOP act more like Rand Paul, whose libertarian views thrust him to a huge GOP primary victory Tuesday night.
Bunning and McConnell have a long history of tensions, and this was just the latest criticism from Bunning, who is retiring at the end of this congressional session.
"I think a lot of us in the Republican Party would like to see Rand Paul and his voting and how he will vote in the U.S. Senate [become] the position of the Republican Party," Bunning said, in a rare exchange with reporters outside the Senate chamber. |
