Rand Paul on Rolling Obama Coal Regs: ‘Might Be the Best Thing We’ve Done’ in D.C.

EXCERPT:

DOOCY: "I know you were at the White House yesterday. You were with President Trump when he signed an executive order doing what for people in your home state of Kentucky?"
PAUL: "We were excited about it. This was an overzealous federal government regulation that would have cost 77,000 more jobs in the coal industry. We’ve already lost — you know, we‘ve lost over 10,000, maybe close to 20,000 coal jobs just in Kentucky. This would have decimated us. So this was a huge reprieve. In fact, I told my colleagues, this might have been the best thing we’ve done since I've to Washington, is repealing this terrible regulation."
