In fact, I've offered amendments as soon as I got to Congress in 2013.

I had an amendment to defund the foreign aid to Egypt, which seemed like a good idea at the time because they were in the middle of a coup.

This is how ridiculous our foreign aid is.

We didn't even know who was going to control the capital.

There were tanks in the streets and we didn't know who the leader was.

And my colleagues insisted on sending the billions of dollars to Egypt anyway.

The question is, who's going to cash the check when it gets there?

So I've got a complete track record of voting against all foreign aid.

But it turns out there's one lobby that's very upset about that, and that's the Israeli lobby.

And so you're right, this is a referendum.

It's a referendum.

The question we're putting to the people is, are you going to let a foreign country or lobbyists for that foreign country

buy a seat in Kentucky and displace the one congressman who will tell you what's in the bills, who will explain his votes.

I explain all of my votes, especially on controversial bills, on social media to where anybody can see.

It was.

And you know what's interesting?

In the two years that have transpired since then, not one of my colleagues has said I'm wrong, right?

Did anybody come out and say, oh, he's full of it.

I don't have an AIPAC person that I go to dinner with every time they come to D.C.

and back in the district.
