Senator Rand Paul reacted to President Trump‘s tweet about the press being the “enemy” today by saying he’s not too concerned so long as there’s no legislation in the works to “limit the press.”

ABC’s Jon Karl asked him if he has concerns about the tweet. Paul said it’s certainly not something he would have said, but he does agree that there’s serious media bias issues out there.

Karl brought up John McCain saying yesterday that attacking and cracking down on the press is how dictatorships start.

Paul took some shots at McCain on foreign policy before saying, “I haven’t seen any legislation coming forward that wants to limit the press. I see President Trump expressing his opinion, rather forceful in his own distinct way, but I see no evidence that anybody is putting forward any kind of legislation to limit the press.”

He went right back to McCain and said that criticisms of Trump are “colored by his own personal dispute” with the president.

A candid observation, and on point.

Though you wouldn't think that reading the comments on the ABC site. Some people really hate Trump. This whole thing is just so personal for them.

Sucks to be them. Almost like the last 8 years, conservatives didn't loath the racist black bastard that occupied our White House.
