Rand Paul: On the Syrian Rebel Side that McCain Wants to Arm Are Radical Islamists Who Hate the U.S.

EXCERPT:

PAUL: "I think it's also important to note that on the rebel side that McCain wants to support, are radical Islamists who hate America and hate Israel. And I don’t want to support people who hate our country. I don’t want to support people who say when they’re done with Assad they are going to attack Israel and not ISIS. So it’s a complicated situation. And it may be -- may well be a war that has no friends in it. And that makes it a difficult position to watch. But I think also we have actually allowed the situation by pushing Assad back and being part of that. We allowed a vacuum to let ISIS fill that -- that's been a mistake."
