There’s no sign presidential contender Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is letting up on the foreign policy of his fellow GOPers, slamming on Friday “knee-jerk reactionaries” who think that “war is always the answer.”
In a sit-down interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, Paul addressed criticism from others in his party, such as Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA).
“Some of these pundits who know nothing but the glory of war, they live inside the beltway and have not yet been to America,” Paul said, going on to reference polling from Iowa that supported his aversion to foreign intervention.
“Hillary Clinton is much more hawkish, and much more likely to get us involved another war, than most of America,” he added, returning to one of his favorite attacks on Hillary for her support for attacking Libya in 2011.
Matthews later said he appreciated Paul’s “millennial” observation that current Republican Party “sucks.”
“No, no!” Paul said, smiling. “I said our brand sucks.”
