Behold the Rand vs. Rubio Twitter War!
And it’s more than just Twitter. Senator Paul just penned this op-ed in TIME:
I support engagement, diplomacy, and trade with Cuba, China, Vietnam, and many countries with less than stellar human rights records, because I believe that once enslaved people taste freedom and see the products of capitalism they will become hungry for freedom themselves…Let’s hope cooler heads will ultimately prevail and we unleash a trade tsunami that washes the Castros once and for all into the sea.
Some background: Senator Marco Rubio (FL) on Thursday night on Paul’s support for more open relations with Cuba, “Well, like many people that have hit on it, he has no idea what he’s talking about.”
Today, Senator Paul took his beef to Twitter and, ouch!, called Sen. Rubio an “isolationist.”
Senator @marcorubio is acting like an isolationist who wants to retreat to our borders and perhaps build a moat. I reject this isolationism.

The United States trades and engages with other communist nations, such as China and Vietnam. So @marcorubio why not Cuba?

…and now it’s all on the front page of Drudge!
