Rand Paul schooled NBC hack Chuck Todd today on Meet the Press where of course the topic was the shithole remark or none remark. Rand Paul remained calm and destroyed sleepy eyes Chuck Todd. Paul told Todd that the problem here is how the media has gone bonkers over the alleged comments (which is true) and that they just want to attack Trump. That of course is also completely true. That’s all the media is about.

CHUCK TODD: That’s the story of our country.
SEN. RAND PAUL: It is the story of our country. But what I’m saying is, you can see why there are more people wanting to come from economically-distressed areas, and they can’t all come. So it gets into the valid, legitimate debate over immigration as to how do we choose. Do we have a diversity lottery and take people from everywhere, do we base it more on merit?
So there are a lot of questions that this ultimately intersects with policy. And the only thing I regret from all of this, other than I think some people in the media have gone completely bonkers with, you know, just ad hominem on the president, but what I regret is I do want to see an immigration compromise. And you can’t have an immigration compromise if everybody’s out there calling the president a racist. They’re actually destroying the setting. And he’s a little bit of it, but both sides now are destroying the setting in which anything meaningful can happen on immigration.
