Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said on Friday “it’s a mistake” to question whether President Obama loves America, CNN reported.
Paul’s comments to radio station WAVE came just hours after an adviser told TPM that the potential 2016 candidate had no comment on the issue.
In the interview with WAVE, Paul criticized former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) for doubting the President’s love of country.
“I think it’s a mistake to question people’s motives,” Paul said. “It’s one thing to disagree on policy.”
“I try not to question the president’s motives as being a good American or a bad American,” Paul continued. “I’ve challenged his policies. I’ve disagreed with him completely on the war in Libya. I blame him and Hillary [Clinton] for something that made us less safe because of the war in Libya. But I don’t question whether or not he was well-intentioned.”
Of course, this doesn’t make sense. The President’s motives? What does this even mean?
Once again Rand Paul shows it’s not hard to rise above the level of civility of the rest of the GOP.
He’ll never get the nomination talking like that though.
Sorry, but how is this any different from Jeb, who also refused to say that Obama loves America. Paul never said it was a mistake “to question whether President Obama loves America” he said it was a “mistake to question [Obama’s] motives”, which is the same as a non-apology aplogy. Rand Paul, like Jeb Bush, like Jindal and Walker and the creep Giuliani all won’t say if Obama loves this country that he has spent a life time honoring and working to make a better place.
All of these guys, Rand Paul included, are all cowards.
… when Rand Paul (aka “crazy ultra libertarian dude”) appears to be the closest thing to the voice of reason among the GOP candidates, you know the GOP Party has a god awful problem in their hands…
