Paul has described Trump's move to unilaterally depose Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro without seeking congressional approval for the attack as "disdainful."
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a hawkish Republican from South Carolina, has strongly supported the president's action.
"This is Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham has gotten to the president who expressed — I saw a clip — there’s like 20 clips of [Trump] saying he’s not for regime change and how regime change has always gone wrong. Somehow they’ve convinced him it’s different if it’s in our hemisphere," Paul said to reporters Monday, according to The Hill.
Torabi also posted audio on X in which Paul can be heard quipping, "There should be a law" stipulating that Graham may only visit the White House "every other week" and may only meet with "mid-level people, not the president. And no more golf outings."
Graham was with Trump during a recent gaggle aboard Air Force One.
