In a recent interview with the Courier Journal, Senate Candidate Rand Paul spoke of how he thought business owners should have the right to discriminate against African Americans or gays or any other minority and that The Civil Rights Act of 1964 should not have contained a provision making sure private businesses did not discriminate. For example, he believes a restaurant should be allowed to prohibit blacks or gays to eat there. He said it may be hateful or abhorrent, but it still should be allowed.
In this interview on The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC, he dodges the question again and again as to whether he meant what he said in the original interview. His views are, indeed, extreme so I don't find it any bit surprising that the Tea Party group was so enthusiastic about his candidacy and about his victory on Tuesday.
Take a look at the end of their interview and decide for yourself.
