This whole stunt in the last week to paint Rand Paul as anti woman right at the time that polls show him beating Hillary in key swing states shows me that the left is scared shitless of Rand Paul.
The Liberals in the media seems to think that Paul ought to be treating Female interviewers like delicate flowers, because they couldnt possibly handle a firm response from a big bad man. (And which one of the two is supposedly sexist again?)
Lets see where the accusations are coming from, Savannah Guthrie, whose husband just so happens to be a former Al Gore adviser, then Chuck Todd, an Obama fan boy, whose wife is a democratic strategist, sweeps in and tries to push the narrative, followed by Dana Bash at CNN, whose husband was an adviser to Gore and Panetta. These people are such transparent political operatives that its painful for anyone with a half a brain to watch.
Then you had this far left outlet who couldnt even control their contempt for Paul who tried to say Rand stormed out of an interview and turned the lights off, well it turns out Paul actually just walked away from the interview in the alotted time, and it was the producers at CNN who cut the lights on the interview because they needed to use them because it was their turn to interview him. The accusation was considered so patently false that Glenn Greenwald, hardly a right wing sympathiser, was defending paul on twitter calling it all B.S.
Paul needs to stop giving interviews to left wing operatives whose sole intention is to try to lay waste to his campaign.
CNN’s Dana Bash to Paul: Can You Avoid Getting Testy with Female Candidates?
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) was asked on multiple programs Sunday morning about his testy exchange with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie last week, which led to questions of whether he bristled at being challenged by female interviewers, or could take criticism in general.
To CNN’s Dana Bash, Paul denied any gendered difference in how he approached interviewers, but insisted that he needed a chance to resist the “editorializing” of an interviewer’s question. She asked if Paul would be able to control that temper on a debate stage with Hillary Clinton.
“I would treat her with the same respect that I would treat a man, but I wouldn’t lay down and say ‘I’m not going to respond,’” Paul said. “That would be a sexist sort of response, to say, ‘Oh, my goodness, she deserves to be treated as aggressively because she’s only a woman.’ I would never say that about anybody. I don’t come into our interview thinking, ‘Okay, it’s a woman-versus-man interview.’ I think she has tough questions, he will ask tough questions, I have to be prepared.”
On Meet the Press, Paul claimed his directness came from his experience as a doctor, and that he had found Guthrie’s question bordering on “snide.”
“We could all be better,” he conceded. “Some interviewers could be better some times, and politicians could be more tolerant of interviewers.”
