Rand Paul: another race-baiting union-buster
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is more proof, as if it were needed, that King’s words still ring true. Ferociously anti-union, Paul has voted the union position on legislation just 12 percent of the time he’s been in Washington, according to the AFL-CIO. Earlier this year, he reintroduced a national “right to work” law.
Kentucky Democrats — at least the ones I’ve talked with — aren’t surprised that Sen. Rand Paul lost no time in race-baiting against Charles Booker, so far the top Democratic contender for his job.

Paul is White; Booker is African American. The general election is a year from November.
