Rand Paul complains about 'incivility' months after telling Rep. Omar to leave the country

By Josh Israel -

The Kentucky Republican offered to buy Rep. Ilhan Omar a plane ticket to Somalia earlier this year after Trump told the congresswoman to 'go back' to her home country.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is still outraged that two people at a restaurant expressed their displeasure with him earlier this month, and in an interview on Sunday, he cited that encounter to claim that only those on the left were uncivil.

Paul appeared on former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's (R) eponymous Trinity Broadcasting Network program over the weekend. After explaining that he was right about supporting Trump's decision to abandon Kurdish allies in Syria, The Kentucky senator was asked about the incident at a California eatery.

"We're having lunch, minding our own business, there's only two other people in the restaurant..." he recounted. "These people tried to ruin our day by coming over, showing the middle finger at us, using profanity, yelling at us."

"My question really to everyone is," he continued, "they keep blaming incivility on President Trump, and yet the only people I see that are acting rude, that are coming up to people at restaurants and yelling and screaming are the left."
