Ron Paul Doubles Down On Calling Newt Gingrich A âChickenhawkâ, Says He Would Call Him It Again
During the New Hampshire GOP Debate, moderator Diane Sawyer asked Ron Paul if he would call Newt Gingrich a âchickenhawkâ again, Paul answered in the affirmative. âYeah. I think people who donât serve when they could and they get three or four or even five deferments, they have no right to send our kids off to warâ¦Iâm trying to stop the wars. At least I went when they called me up.â
Paul had earlier used the term in an interview with CNNâs Soledad OâBrien to slam the former Speaker of the House for voting to send American troops into war without himself having served in the military.
âI donât like it when we send our kids off to fight these wars and when those individuals didnât go themselves, and then come up and when theyâre asked, they say, oh, I donât think one person could have made a difference!â Paul exclaimed. âI have a pet peeve that annoys me to a great deal, because when I see these young men coming back, my heart weeps for them.â
