Senator Rand Paul took to Twitter Tuesday to express his displeasure with Washington, particularly Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham.
Although Senator McCain has stayed silent, for now, Senator Graham fought back.
Here are the tweets:
Senators McCain and Graham are torpedoing the budget by insisting on busting the budget caps for more spending.

I have told the White House and GOP leaders that if they simply stick to their own caps, the rest of the Budget is fine and I’ll vote yes.

It is a simple, but important, change they could easily make. The ball is in their court.

Getting more bad info @RandPaul.
Don’t screw up #TaxReform now.
You already saved #Obamacare by trashing #GrahamCassidy-Heller-Johnson. https://t.co/QEJWuvUn2z

Point #2: The Budget resolution doesn’t affect statutory spending caps.

The media and public took notice, as well:
Graham on budget: I think Sen Paul is trying to find a way to vote no, and he always does.
