Rand Paul on Matt Drudge: "We Share a Strong Mutual Admiration"

LISTEN TO TLR’S LATEST PODCAST:

The conservative firebrand Senator, and the leading conservative media mogul share what Paul calls a “strong mutual admiration of each other,” reports Business Insider.

Senator Rand Paul and founder of the Drudge Report Matt Drudge met in Washington DC last week, where the Drudge said that Paul was both “bold” and “brave.”

“Intriguing lunch in hill office of America’s best senator, Rand Paul,” Drudge tweeted on Thursday. “He’s bold, brave and has somehow kept his heart in such a corrupt city.”

Paul’s spokesman returned the compliment, “Matt Drudge has a phenomenal take on the news and is a leader who others in the business can only hope to emulate,” Sergio Gor told Business Insider in a statement. “We enjoyed visiting with him, and we share a strong mutual admiration!”

Drudge, along with Paul, have often been a thorn in the side of the “establishment” GOP. Recently, Drudge criticized the GOP’s turn to tax reform, after a failed attempt at health care, calling the move a “lie” and asking if “we can get our votes back.”
