Rand Paul shushed a female CNBC anchor during an interview

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) didn't like the way a CNBC anchor was interviewing him, so he told her to "calm down," saying she was mischaracterizing basic facts in her questions.

Put that little woman in her place Rand, you the man after all. You, with your overinflated ego and your belief in your self importance. Hey Rand, you can take your misogyny and stuff it. Oh and you can take that Gawd awful rug off your head and stuff that too. It makes you look like a fool, but we knew that already.



It looks like something the cat dragged in. Yikes

land of beautiful racehorses and fast women. Does the man have no shame, he surely knows the weak female mind and constitution. What a cruel master-boy disrespecting the women. His Daddy will wup up on him when he hears, uh huh.

My mouth was open at the end when she apologized and he (yet again) said, oh, you're twisting everything and not objective and these interviews are crappy (implied: BECAUSE LIBERAL MEDIA). Massive disrespect. I can't think of a bad enough name to call him.

O'Reilly likes to answer the question he asks with his guests before they are allowed
to answer or explain their answer.


I don't like Paul much but maybe she learned a lesson that's not the way to interview

She didn't answer her question before he got a chance to do so. He constantly interrupted her. She was doing what we say we want interviewers to do, ask tough but fair questions. He didn't let her finish, he ignored the question especially regarding the ophthalmology board, he was thoroughly RUDE and unpresidential. I don't know why you're ignoring the facts, unless you have an agenda.

If you are going to ask a question don't answer the question with your opinion .

Let the person speak first or don't interview him.

If you see him, tell him it's 2015, and women get to
ask politicians tough questions now, and they don't
have to wait for them to stop bullshitting before they speak.
