Peter King: Rand Paul Should Resign For Claiming James Clapper Lied in Senate Testimony
"Disgraced" the office
Rep. Peter King said fellow Republican Sen. Rand Paul owes the nation's top intelligence official an apology after saying he should resign for "lying" to a Senate committee about a controversial surveillance program.
The New York congressman also said that Paul's comparison of National Intelligence Director James Clapper to NSA leaker Edward Snowden is "absolutely disgraceful."

Rep. Peter King should resign...for being himself.
No, Peter King should be in prison for supporting terrorists.
Peter King doesn't want to live in a country where being a bag man for terrorists disqualifies someone for the highest office.
Didn't Clapper admit to lying under oath?
You're a real patriot, King. Though for which side you are on has always seemed to be confusing to me.
Me: Knock, knock!
Peter King: Who's there?
Me: Fuck off! That's who you goddam terrorist-loving hyprocrite!
