As we told you earlier this week, Republican Sen. Rand Paul is among those on the Right who do not share Sen. Mitch McConnell’s enthusiasm for the $1.7 trillion-plus omnibus spending monstrosity. McConnell had said he takes great pride in the legislation:
McConnell: "I'm pretty proud of the fact that with a Democratic president, Democratic House, and Democratic Senate, we were able to achieve through this Omnibus spending bill essentially all of our priorities." pic.twitter.com/RuVcsvNX0B

A few days ago Rep. Dan Bishop revealed on Twitter some of the most egregious provisions in the omnibus bill, and last night the North Carolina Republican explained some of the insane spending “priorities” to a stunned Tucker Carlson on Fox News:
This omnibus bill is a bipartisan betrayal of the American people.

At least some in DC finally care about spending to defend borders… just not the U.S. border.
This bill protects Egypts Borders, Ukraines Borders But NOT America’s Border. This government is NOT for the people. https://t.co/sdvQrQlmjH

Some of the biggest eye-rollers in the omnibus include over $3 million for “Michelle Obama Trail,” not to mention a building named after Nancy Pelosi:
Thank you to @LeaderMcConnell and the @SenateGOP for giving Americans a hiking trail named after Michelle Obama as well as a federal building named after Nancy Pelosi!
Truly amazing omnibus negotiating skills.
Well done, everybody.
