As President Trump sought to walk back his comments dismissing Russian election interference amid backlash, including from some of his closest allies, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has stood by the president’s side, lobbing attacks at critics.

Paul described condemnation of Trump’s refusal to hold Russian President Vladimir Putin accountable for the interference as coming from “people who hate the president,” even as top Republicans called on Trump to change course.

But the Republican senator saved his harshest attacks for former CIA Director John Brennan, who labeled Trump’s performance at a press conference with Putin treasonous.

“I think John Brennan is completely unhinged,” Paul said Tuesday. On Wednesday, Paul continued his media blitz against Brennan, saying Brennan is “the most biased, bigoted, over-the-top, hyperbolic sort of unhinged director of the CIA we’ve ever had.”

Rand Paul is spot-on correct re: this.  Kudos to him for calling it out.

Bigoted?  Is he kidding?  Insulting people of a different political view is not bigoted.  If it is, we're all guilty, here.  That tackle must've given him CTE.

Muslims by nature, are bigoted.

Brennan is prejudiced against Orange-Americans.

I think his description of Brennan is spot on.  There's political views and then there's insanity.

Bigotry does not carry over to political affiliations.  If it does, any state with closed primaries is in trouble.  Everything he said, aside from that, is accurate.  Don't be surprised if Rand clarifies.
