In the wake of the vicious assault on a woman by Rand Paul supporters on Monday night, Paul rushed to Fox News to do damage control, and again played the coward by refusing to condemn the attack. Instead he blamed:
... a daze of lights flashing, people yelling and screaming, bumping up, and it was a bit of a crowd control problem.
Watch:
FOX NEWS: Let's deal with the scuffle right off the top. What's your reaction that folks who were wearing Rand Paul t-shirts and hats treated this woman this way?
PAUL: We want everybody to be civil. We want this issue, the campaign to be about issues. We'll tell you that when we arrived there was enormous passion on both sides. It really was something where you walk into a daze of lights flashing, people yelling and screaming, bumping up, and it was a bit of a crowd control problem, and I don't want anybody though to be involved in things that aren't civil. I think this should always be about the issues. And it is an unusual situation, to have so many people, so passionate on both sides, jockeying back and forth and it wasn't something that I liked or anybody liked about that situation, so I hope in the future it's going to be better.
FOX NEWS: Yeah, well hopefully everybody out there will listen to that.
News flash, Rand -- the issue here is that your supporters threw a woman to the ground and stomped on her head and you refuse to condemn it. It wasn't a "bit of a crowd control problem," it was an assault. Man up and say it was wrong.
