Ron Paul Reacts to Contentious MSNBC Interview: 'I Didn't Like What Happened

Former Republican congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul implied in a podcast published on Friday that the mainstream media seeks to tear him down in a bid to discredit his son, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky).

“It’s hard for me because I know what they are doing,” Paul said. “I am not important in the sense that I don’t have a vote, I don’t go to Washington, and that sort of thing.”

“[Rand] is very fluent, and he knows how to present the message. They fear him, and they don’t want that message out. He has a tough job," Paul continued. "Though he gets some benefits from what I have done, he also gets all of the disadvantages in that if I have a position that the mainstream media can attack, they will. It is a combination.”

Paul, pointed to a Thursday interview he had with MSNBC's Alex Wagner.

“That little episode with MSNBC, I didn’t like what happened,” he said.

During that interview, Wagner attempted to get Paul to "applaud" President Barack Obama.
