Rep. Eric Swalwell doesn’t seem to know what the words “too soon” mean. Just hours after dozens were killed in Kentucky and several other states because of tornadoes, the California Democrat used the occasion to remind Twitter that he doesn’t like one of Kentucky’s two Republican senators.
In response, the rest of Twitter let Swalwell know they weren’t exactly enamored with him — and they brought up some of the former presidential contender’s other peccadilloes. (You may have even forgotten about some of them, given how willing the media is to give him a pass for them. At The Western Journal, we’re not going to — and we help keep the media honest.

The senator Swalwell used the disaster to slag with was Rand Paul, who tweeted out a message of support Saturday morning for those who died in Kentucky after a series of tornadoes hit the state late Friday and early Saturday.
“Our hearts are broken for all those suffering from last night’s terrible storms,” Paul tweeted.
“I and my team will do all we can to assist local and state officials as they lead the immediate response, and will aggressively help families, businesses, and officials access recovery resources.”

Swalwell, meanwhile, decided it would be good time to use tornado dead — perhaps 80 of them with present estimates, according to CNN — to attack Paul.
“We should do all we can to help our Kentucky neighbors. God be with them — they are hurting,” Swalwell tweeted. “But do not for one second forget that @RandPaul has voted against helping most Americans most times they’re in need.”
