Rand Defends Comey Firing: ‘Both Sides’ Lost Confidence, MoveOn.org Had a ‘Petition’ To Fire Him

‘I don’t think you ever had an FBI director where both sides were unhappy with him’

EXCERPT:

PAUL: “I think we probably never had someone fired where both sides really agreed with the firing more than you would imagine. And almost every prominent Democrat in country has called for Comey’s ouster. Most Democrats felt like he insinuated Hillary Clinton's guilt and then did not indict her. Most Republicans felt like, well, you know, with all the evidence of her guilt with him saying so much at the press conference about what she did wrong, why didn’t he indict her? So I don’t think you've ever had an FBI director where both sides actually were very unhappy with him. Harry Reid called for his ouster.” [crosstalk]
KING: “But senator, that’s not the question. That’s not the question.”
PAUL: “Chuck Schu -- Chuck Schumer -- Chuck Schumer's --”
KING: “Senator, excuse me. Excuse me for interrupting you but that -- that's not the question."
PAUL: “Let me finish my sentence. But Chuck Schumer -- Chuck Schumer also said he had lost confidence in him. So I think it is the question. Both sides really had lost confidence in him and I think that’s why he’s gone.”
