Libertarian Republican Sen. Rand Paul is sounding off after Sen. John McCain suggested that Paul was a Kremlin stooge.

“If there’s objection, you are achieving the objectives of Vladimir Putin,” McCain stressed. “If they object, they are now carrying out the desires and ambitions of Vladimir Putin, and I do not say that lightly.”
