Rand Paul: Trump Needs a Sec. of State Who Who Agrees with His ‘World View’

‘He recognizes that Iraq war was a mistake and some of the problems — He should appoint somebody who recognizes that’

"I think it’s important that we or President Trump, President-Elect Trump nominate someone who agrees with Donald Trump. Donald Trump spent a lot of time traveling the country saying the Iraq war was a mistake. That nation building hasn’t worked or very expensive and regime change has led to unintended consequences. That’s exactly where I am. That’s why I like Donald Trump. He recognizes that Iraq war was a mistake and some of the problems. He should appoint somebody who recognizes that. I think both Giuliani and Bolton, I would call them unrepentant advocates of the Iraq war. They haven’t learned any of the lessons of the Middle East. So I don’t think they would represent Donald Trump very well because they don’t agree with Donald Trump’s positions on the Middle East."
