WASHINGTON (CNN) – Rand Paul is drawing only a small distinction between Donald Trump’s much-maligned plan to ban Muslim immigrants and his own.
In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on “The Lead” Wednesday, the Kentucky senator — who has often tried to revive his sagging presidential bid by attacking Trump — said he could understand the need for a travel moratorium from countries that pose a security threat, almost all of which are majority-Muslim.
Paul’s plan is to institute a moratorium on entry to the U.S. from 33 countries that pose a terrorism threat. Trump said Monday he would ban all Muslims from coming to the United States given the threat from Islamic terrorism.
“I think all of us, no matter Republican, Democrat, liberal, conservative, I think we all could be for a little more scrutiny on who comes to visit,” said Paul, who has identified with the libertarian movement. read more
Wow, how brilliant. Thank Rand. Rand? Who names their kid Rand? What’s that short for?
I don’t much care how they stop them from coming here, as long as they stop them from coming here.
Actually Rand has some good stuff to say and has single handily accomplished more than most. I just don’t won’t him as President.
Want
Rand Paul.
(…and the other 8 or so fluff candidates…)
Giving a whole new meaning to
THE ONE-PERCENTERS.
I’m thinking he was named for Ayn Rand, since his dad claimed to be a libertarian.
Get real. Obama wouldn’t even ban ebola victims.
As MJA says “Bitch Please.” Where was he on this before Donald Trump spoke out? NO WHERE! Just another lying RINO trying to throw out some crumbs to the vulgarians.
