Rand Paul Calls Out Incredibly Petty Nonce

Thursday, June 12, 2025

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said he was "uninvited" to an annual White House picnic typically attended by members of Congress and their families, framing the move to reporters Wednesday as retribution for his opposition to key components of President Donald Trump's agenda. "They're afraid of what I'm saying, so they think they're going to punish me, I can't go to the picnic, as if somehow that's going to make me more conciliatory," Paul said. "So it's silly, in a way, but it's also just really sad that this is what it's come to. But petty vindictiveness like this, it makes you " it makes you wonder about the quality of people you're dealing with."

Paul, who said he attended picnics hosted by Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama, told reporters he called the White House on Wednesday to secure tickets to the annual picnic but was told he was not invited. He said he had family members flying to Washington to attend the event, including his son, daughter-in-law and 6-month-old grandson, who he noted owns a "Make America Great Again" hat.

"I just find this incredibly petty," Paul told reporters. "I have been, I think, nothing but polite to the president. I have been an intellectual opponent, a public policy opponent, and he's chosen now to uninvite me from the picnic and to say my grandson can't come to the picnic."
