Rand Paul Explains Why He Bolted From A Dreamer (HuffPo)

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) sought to explain viral footage showing him hastily moving away from an undocumented immigrant in Iowa on Tuesday. In the video, Paul abruptly gets up from a table and leaves his half-eaten burger behind after immigration activists confronted Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who was sitting across from him, about his vote to end an Obama administration program that delays deportations for young people who were brought into the country illegally as children.
quote:
"About five minutes before that or two minutes before that the video doesn't show that another reporter came up and said, 'Will you do an interview?'" Paul told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren. "And I said, 'I need to take a couple more bites and we'll do an interview,' and then I was told we had to leave and I had to do the interview. So actually I stood about 10 feet from those people who were doing sort of a kamikaze interview and I stood 10 feet from them and did another interview."
Read zee rest here
I like RP, but even this sounds far fetched.

Paul is a coward. We already knew this.

Do those Mexicans really have nothing better to do than chase around politicians all day?

Like him, too, but the camera even moved around the table and filmed in the direction that Paul moved off into and he was nowhere to be seen - definitely not 10' away.

The guy is already starting to flip-flop all over the place. He really is starting to unravel and the heat hasn't even begun.
Hope and change 2.0 lol

He should have grabbed his phone and called the cops.

Not really.

I would've ran too, King is a talking nightmare.

You know, it does look like Paul stops at the end of the GIF, as if he is giving an interview standing up.

I have not been paying much attention lately and have not heard of him changing any of his positions. Would you please elaborate of some of these?

Funding Israel...

He supports cutting all aid, not just targeting Israel. When he proposed cutting aid to Palestinian gov't, AIPAC opposed it. Semantics can kill even the best of leaders in today's gotcha media.

Gotta pay the toll to cross the electorate bridge.

Agreed. Either way, RP could've handled this far better than he did. Makes him look dodgy. His handlers should've had better sense than to put him on GVS that/the next evening.

The guy that comes to him when he gets up has a Dictaphone in his hand. Plus, the photographer that was obviously there for the interview gets up and follows behind RP.
But, hey...let's not let observable facts get in the way of a good character assassination.

He saw a bunch of whiny twits with loaded/emotion tugging questions coming his way.
He also knows Steve King is a loose canon, but he needs his help to win Iowa.

So he avoids an interview with over emotional twits and you say he's unraveling?
