These are all the same people who heap scorn on Rand Paul when someone mentions he’s a doctor.

Or Dr. Ben Carson. Amongst plenty of other prominent conservatives who have a medical doctorate.
The Associated Press stylebook even recommends ONLY calling someone a Doctor if they have earned their degree in medicine. PhD's in education should not be addressed in such a manner.
Use AP Style:
Use Dr. in first reference as a formal title before the name of an individual who holds a doctor of dental surgery, doctor of medicine, doctor of optometry, doctor of osteopathic medicine, doctor of podiatric medicine, or doctor of veterinary medicine: Dr. Jonas Salk.
If appropriate in the context, Dr. also may be used on first reference before the names of individuals who hold other types of doctoral degrees. However, because the public frequently identifies Dr. only with physicians, care should be taken to ensure that the individual’s specialty is stated in first or second reference.
Do not use Dr. before the names of individuals who hold only honorary doctorates.
Do not continue the use of Dr. in subsequent references.
