Sen. Rand Paul on Saudi Arabia Arms Sales: ‘What Will the Saudis Do with the Weapons?’

‘This isn’t like trying to convince someone to buy apples from the United State’

EXCERPT:

PAUL: "My concern is, what will the Saudis do with the weapons? For example, we know from Hillary Clinton's emails that were leaked through WikiLeaks that she was concerned that the Saudis were giving financial assistance and arms to ISIS, and to other radical Islamic groups in Syrian and around the world. We know from Bob Graham's investigation of 9/11 that there were many who imply and believe that Saudi Arabia might have had something to do with 9/11. We know that Saudi Arabia is currently involved in a war in a neighboring country in Yemen which tens of thousands of civilians are dying and there is a humanitarian crisis created by this war. So I'm concerned what will Saudi Arabia do with these weapons, and I think the weapons in a way belong to the American public because American tax dollars go to developing these weapons for our defense."
