@SenRandPaul making Kentucky proud #StandWithRand

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.)’s filibuster of the John Brennan’s CIA directorship nomination is still going strong into the midnight hour. Fellow Kentucky senator and GOP Leader Mitch McConnell did a little leading from behind and showed up to lend his support. Finally.

McConnell: Paul’s questions on drones are ‘entirely appropriate’ http://t.co/xE1EPjaFSH by @RamseyTheHill

Looks like McConnell heeded Brit Hume’s advice from earlier this evening:

Mitch McConnell would be wise to get his butt over to the Senate floor to support his fellow Kentucky Republican. Even Democrat Wyden did.

#StandWithRand folks should be happy with McConnell, not mocking. You want converts. Make it easy for people to come to you.

Sen. Paul is grateful:
Thanks to Sen. McConnell for coming down to support the filibuster and for helping save the floor for me tonight.
