Honestly, this is sort of a non-story if you know a little about how the “background” world of politics works.
I’ve actually had two family members working opposite campaigns against each other and still come over and watch a ball game.
Paul’s gand-neice (or whatever) could be a staunch conservative or whatever, but it really doesn’t have anything to do with Rand Paul.
I’d hate to be judged by what or with whom my nieces associate with at any given, random time.
Negative. If you read the article in it’s entirety, Jesse Benton is, supposedly, doing this to get Mitch to back Rand’s Presidential run in 2016. So, it’s “to hell with principle; politics rules.”
