Senator Rand Paul is bigtime mad about being uninvited from the upcoming White House picnic.
The GOP senator — who is a vocal holdout on President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill – went on a seven-minute-long rant absolutely fuming after the White House said he couldn’t come to the picnic.
Watch for yourself:

To be clear, Rand Paul admits that he doesn’t know if it was President Trump who made the call to bar him from the picnic.
And, he was not given a clear-cut reason as to why he was uninvited.
The Hill commented:
The senator said he was not offered an explanation for the rescinded invitation, and he noted that he was not sure who at the White House made the decision. The Hill reached out to the White House for comment.
ADVERTISEMENTThe White House has been hosting picnics for decades — under both Democratic and Republican presidents — inviting lawmakers from both parties to mingle on the lawn.
This year’s confab comes as the administration is trying to muscle its sprawling agenda bill through Congress — specifically the Senate at the moment — but it has been met with some opposition.
Paul, a libertarian-minded Republican, has expressed opposition to the inclusion of a $4 trillion debt limit increase in the bill, voicing concerns about the ballooning deficit. He has said on multiple occasions that he will not support the legislation if the debt limit provision remains.
Still, despite not being told why he can’t come to the White House picnic or who called the shots on that decision, that didn’t stop Rand Paul from taking it personally and coming after President Trump over this.
Sen. Paul has the gall to accuse President Trump of being petty enough to ban him from a picnic.
But, I have to ask: isn’t whining for seven minutes about not being invited to a picnic a tad petty itself?
What’s “incredibly petty” is Paul going to the media to complain about it.

And, if I’m being honest, it seems like there might be a bit more to the picture than Rand Paul is letting on here.
While it doesn’t seem like a coincidence that Rand Paul was uninvited from the picnic due to his opposition to the BBB, it does seem a little strange that he was the only person uninvited — or so he claims.
Wouldn’t other Congressman opposed to the bill have been ousted as well, if that were the only reason?
At least, that’s my two cents on the matter.
