Rand Paul accuses Hillary Clinton of 'grand hypocrisy'
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) isn't waiting for Hillary Clinton to make her long-awaited entrance into the presidential race to ding his White House rival. The 2016 GOP presidential candidate on Sunday assailed Clinton as a hypocrite for touting women's issues even as the Clinton Foundation accepted millions of dollars in donations from countries with poor records on that front.
"I think there's also this grand hypocrisy for the Clintons in the sense that we've got this whole thing, this war on women thing that they like to talk about," Paul said in an extended interview with NBC. "And yet Hillary Clinton has taken money from countries that rape victims are publicly lashed."
