Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is harnessing his creativity Saturday by airing his grievances in what has become a yearly tradition for the lawmaker.
The social media event, so to say, is a celebration of a fictional holiday from the legendary eponymous show “Seinfeld,” co-created by comedians Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David. Paul seems to be a big fan of the show, so he partakes in at least one of the traditions, the airing of grievances in which the participant tells everyone how they really feel, including, perhaps especially, their problems.

He opened up with some remarks about Fox News and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Before we get started, I need to alert @FoxNews and someone in DC that this is NOT a war on Christmas. It’s a war on everything else.

I hear that many people are saying great thinks about Hillary’s book and It won some major major awards. That’s great for her, seriously. pic.twitter.com/TjuIUbDniK

Some of his deep-seated, and perhaps once-deeply repressed cheeky criticisms were even directed at those of his own political party, like President Donald Trump and fellow Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.
I hear even @realDonaldTrump loved It. He said It was the “third best book ever written”.

That’s high praise considering he thinks the first two were both inspired by God.

I want to pause to wish @realDonaldTrump a Happy Festivus. We told him to take today off, since he airs his grievances on here every day pic.twitter.com/OicIz1x5Uj

There are how many million Americans who’ve wanted to force-choke Ted, and he picked on the one who could do It. Brave, he is pic.twitter.com/rL5c65wMoH

I’m KIDDING, Ted. You’re likeable enough

He also took parting “shots” at Democratic Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada and Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah.
We argued about taxes. Fought about spending. Worked on repatriation together. I helped treat your eye injury…

Somehow, an octogenarian Mormon has better pot jokes than I do. This has been bothering me for a while. #HappyFestivus
