Ron Paul: Congressional Black Caucus opposes war because they want food stamps

The father of potential 2016 presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) claimed the Congressional Black Caucus only opposed war because they wanted more money for food stamps.

“I was always annoyed with it in Congress because we had an anti-war unofficial group, a few libertarian Republicans and generally the Black Caucus and others did not — they are really against war because they want all of that money to go to food stamps for people here,” former Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) told Lew Rockwell earlier this month.
