Sen. Rand Paul tweeted his strong disapproval Monday of sending U.S. aid to Egypt
In Egypt, democratic authoritarianism is replaced with military junta. American neocons say send them more of your money.

Senators are split on whether the military-led ousting of President Mohamed Morsi was a military coup and, subsequently, whether the U.S. should cut aid to Egypt. By law, the U.S. is prohibited from sending aid to countries that have had their democratically elected leader overthrown by a military coup.
