Rand Paul Spox to WaPo Reporters over Paul’s ‘Missteps’: ‘Seriously?’

The Washington Post questioned Thursday morning whether Senator Rand Paul’s misstep-filled week, in which he was heavily scrutinized for his vaccine position and then for shushing a reporter on air, revealed the likely 2016 candidate unprepared for the spotlight of a national campaign.

In seeming confirmation of this, Paul’s press person sniped at them when they requested comment:

Paul could not be reached for comment on Wednesday, and e-mails seeking comment from aides at his political action committee, RANDPAC, were not returned. A spokesman for Paul’s Senate office, when asked whether Paul could comment about his missteps this week, wrote back with a one-word message.

“Seriously?” spokesman Brian Darling wrote.

Seriously, he was told.

Darling did not reply after that.
