Video: Rand Paul on Meet the Chuck
If this weren’t Chuck Todd, I might be surprised that he doesn’t even bring up some of the really problematic things about Rand Paul — for example, his close friendship with the craziest conspiracy theorist in America, Alex Jones, or his statement that he wouldn’t have voted for the Civil Rights Act. But it’s fascinating to watch the pseudo-libertarian spinning and revising his earlier positions to move toward the far right.
Perhaps my favorite moment is when he says Hillary Clinton should be “calling for a boycott of Saudi Arabia,” then dodges the question of whether he would do that himself.
