Rand stands up to liberal media attack; left said he was picking on a girl

Rand Paul comes out swinging...at interviewers  "In a round of interviews yesterday, Rand Paul took on questions he found unfair, and got into an argument with Savannah Guthrie of the Today show. The predictable result was return fire from talking head pundits, unhappy over his refusal to play the game on the ground rules the media likes to set.  In the words of T. Beckett Adams of the Washington Examiner, it was a “media pile-on.”

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., became the target of media criticism Wednesday after he accused NBC News' Savannah Guthrie during an interview of "editorializing" her questions. . . .

Megyn Kelly to Male Reporters: ‘Butt Out’—Women ‘Don’t Need Your Help’ Handling Rand Paul  . . . “I, as a female reporter, will say to Chuck Todd and the Guardian: We don’t need your help,” Kelly said. “You are entitled to push back on the interviewer just as much as you would if it were a man, so these male commentators can butt out. We can give as good as we get.” “To me, it’s ironic that the people trying to step in and ‘protect’ these female interviewers are themselves being sexist while they’re suggesting you were being sexist because you didn’t kowtow and you weren’t polite enough to your female interviewers,” she added.

According to Their Male Defenders, Female Interviewers Can’t Handle Rand Paul
 . . .  "After  Paul got into a testy exchange over abortion yesterday with Philip Elliott, a reporter from the Associated Press, no one ran to poor Philip’s defense.

"But Philip is a MAN who can handle a Rand Paul without having MEN parachute in to protect his precious little snowflake status.
"Sadly, even women in the mainstream media seem to be admitting they are the weaker sex. Todd was talking to Andrea Mitchell, who claims to be a feminist. She did not, though, reach across the desk and slap Todd. She agreed with him."  . . .

 

Rand: The Press Should Ask Dems if it’s OK to Kill Babies in the Womb     . . . "When a reporter asked Paul about a recent Associated Press report that suggested he had avoided answering questions about abortion, he responded in frustration, suggesting the media ask Democrats this question instead:

"Why don't you ask the DNC, 'Is it OK to kill a seven-pound baby in the uterus?'" 

"You go back and you ask Debbie Wasserman Schultz if she's okay with killing a seven-pound baby that is just not yet born yet. Ask her when life begins, and you ask Debbie when she's willing to protect life," he said. "When you get an answer from Debbie, come back to me."

" He didn't have to wait long. 

"Here's an answer," she said in an emailed statement. "I support letting women and their doctors make this decision without government getting involved. Period. End of story. Now your turn, Senator Paul."

"CNN's Wolf Blitzer read Wasserman Schultz's statement to Paul later that afternoon, to which Paul offered a translation:

"Sounds like her answer is yes, that she's okay with killing a seven-pound baby."
