Establishment senators vote to send F-16s to Volatile Egypt

How in the world can congress members, in good conscience, vote to send weapons to a country in as volatile a state as Egypt? If assault weapons are such a dangerous thing for U.S. citizens to own, what about the Muslim Brotherhood? Rand Paul on FOX moments ago…

We Don’t Have To Pay England To Be Our Friend, Why Do We Have to Pay Egypt?

AIPAC unaccountably supports sale of F-16s to Egypt. Let AIPAC know what you think: (312) 236-8550

The vote was 53 to 35 to “table the motion.”

It looks like Senator Rand Paul’s bill to stop the weaponization of Egypt will fail, but you can still watch the final vote count here.

We will have a full list of Senators who voted to arm Egypt with more F-16s and tanks shortly…
Here is Sen. Paul introducing his bill earlier this afternoon.
