Peter King: Rand Paul Would Be a 'Disastrous' President, Not Capable of Intelligent Debate

Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Rep. Perter King (R-NY) took shots at Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) when asked by host Joe Scarborough if he would be comfortable with Paul being the commander-in-chief

King answered, “No, I wouldn’t. I think his views would be disastrous, Joe. I think he appeals to the lowest common denominator — this is an isolationist wing from the 1930s.”

King added, “Rand Paul brings it to this hysterical level, like when he talks about the CIA trying to kill Americans having coffee in Starbucks, when he talks about President Obama listening to his cell phone conversations — that to me is just feeding into paranoia. We do need an intelligent debate, and I don’t think Rand Paul is capable of having that debate.”
