Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus reiterated that he believes Rand Paul’s 13-hour filibuster over the Obama administration’s drone policy was a “unifying moment” for the GOP and that the party is “totally on board” with the libertarian senator.
“I think Rand asked a reasonable question that he deserved an answer on, and I was proud of the fact that he stood up and captured the country by standing up to the president. And I thought that was great,” said Priebus after an address at the National Press Club in Washington Monday morning. The RNC chairman had said last week in an interview with the Des Moines Register that he thought the Kentucky senator’s filibuster was “completely awesome” and had brought unity to the party.
