Matt Drudge.
"Intriguing lunch in hill office of America's best senator, Rand Paul," Drudge tweeted Thursday. "He's bold, brave and has somehow kept his heart in such a corrupt city."
Paul's spokesman returned the compliment after Drudge's tweet.
"Matt Drudge has a phenomenal take on the news and is a leader who others in the business can only hope to emulate," Paul's spokesman Sergio Gor told Business Insider in a statement. "We enjoyed visiting with him, and we share a strong mutual admiration!"
Drudge has been taking what some have interpreted as subtle shots at the Trump administration recently through his website and Twitter account.
Drudge is the founder and editor of the Drudge Report, a popular and influential conservative news aggregation website visited by millions of readers each month.
He has also ripped the Republican establishment as of late, true to what was his form during the presidential election.
In a recent tweet, Drudge contended the GOP "lied about wanting tax cuts."
"Can we get our votes back?" he asked.
