Rand Paul: You can’t inherit a movement

Before his speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, DC, today, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., rejected any suggestion that he was the natural heir to his father’s supporters. “Yeah I don’t know if you can inherit a movement,” Sen.Paul said in an exclusive interview with The Washington Examiner.

“I know people write that but you know, my dad and I are different people,” Paul said of Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas. “We do have very similar beliefs. We both believe in very limited constitutional government. But I don’t know if I can excite the young people the way he does.”
