Jay Smooth breaks down Rand Paul’s laughable yet frightening interview on the Rachel Maddow Show, in which he revealed that he would have opposed the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act:
Rand Paul may or may not be a racist. But he is certainly striving to make it easier for other racists to harass and discriminate against people of color. This makes him an ally to racists, whether or not he agrees with their bigoted beliefs.
The fact that he won’t straight up acknowledge this makes him, as Jay so aptly puts it, a weasel.
