Rand Paul: McCain and Graham Are "Obama Lapdogs" Who Supported "Hillary's War" In Libya

Fox News Channel's Bill Hemmer asks GOP presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul about criticism he gets from fellow Republicans like Lindsey Graham and John McCain.





SEN. RAND PAUL: This comes from a group of people wrong about every policy issue over the last couple decades. I’ll give you a couple examples where they support the president’s foreign policy and I don’t.



They supported Hillary Clinton’s war in Libya; they supported President Obama’s bombing of Assad; they also support President Obama’s foreign aid to countries that hate us. So if there is anyone who is most opposed to President Obama’s foreign policy, it’s me. People who call loudest to criticize me are great proponents of President Obama’s foreign policy — they just want to do it ten times over.



I’m the only one actually standing up and saying the war in Libya was a mistake; the bombing of Assad would make ISIS stronger; the arms to the Islamic rebels would make ISIS stronger. So I’m really the one standing up to President Obama. And these people are essentially the lapdogs for President Obama and I think they’re sensitive about that...



Their foreign policy is so disjointed, confusing, and chaotic, that really people need to reexamine those who want to be involved with any war. I think we get involved when there’s an American interest. I think we have to militarily stop ISIS. But I am sad that ISIS got a lot of weapons from interventionists in my party, and the president, who gave them weapons indirectly.
