Rand Paul: Confederate flag like smoking pot

Rand Paul defends secessionist aide: Confederate flag like smoking pot

“I’m not a fan of secession,” Paul explained. “I think the things he said about John Wilkes Booth are absolutely stupid. I think Lincoln was one of our greatest presidents. Do I think Lincoln was wrong is taking away the freedom of the press and the right of habeas corpus? Yeah.”

“If I thought he was a white supremacist, he would be fired immediately,” he added. “If I thought he would treat anybody on the color of their skin different than others, I’d fire him immediately.”

When Fineman asked about the Confederate flag mask, Paul compared it to smoking pot.

“It was a shock radio job,” the Kentucky Republican opined. “He was doing wet T-shirt contests. But can a guy not have a youth and stuff? People try to say I smoked pot one time, and I wasn’t fit for office.”

doesn't understand correlation one tiny bit. The shit that comes out of his mouth is completely wrong - every single word. Oh, and he's a racist asshole.
