Paul calls out Clinton on women's rights

EXETER - Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is demanding Hillary Clinton return Clinton Foundation donations from Saudi Arabia and other foreign countries with poor human rights records.

The likely Republican presidential hopeful lit into the likely Democratic candidate in an interview Saturday.

"I think she needs to return the money to the country she took it from," Paul said. "I think it sends a very bad statement to the world and to the American public that she's willing to take money from countries that have such really poor human rights and women's rights records."

Paul cited Saudi Arabia and Brunei, a country in Southeast Asia, where he said a woman accused of adultery risks death by stoning.

"In Saudi Arabia, a woman was gang-raped by seven men and the woman was then, when she went to the police, arrested and given 90 lashes - the victim of a rape," Paul said. "I think it's unconscionable that Hillary Clinton would accept money from a country that treats women that way."

Paul is on a two-day visit to New Hampshire as he explores a run for President. An announcement is anticipated in early April.

Phil Nazzaro, a 2014 state Senate GOP nominee from Newmarket, hosted a breakfast gathering for Paul at Epoch Restaurant in Exeter on Saturday. Paul began the day greeting people at the Pink Cadillac Diner in Rochester. His schedule included stops in Hampstead and Hollis, where he was to appear with state Sens. Regina Birdsell, R-Hampstead, and Sen. Kevin Avard, R-Nashua.

Nazzaro was on the veterans committee for Ron Paul in 2012. He is not endorsing anyone at this point, but he spoke highly of the buzz around Rand Paul.

"He has a message that appeals to a broad group," Nazzaro said.

In Exeter, Paul said Congress must take bigger steps to curb federal largess and get real with the debt, which puts America "closer to the day of reckoning."

HOLLIS U.S. Sen. Rand Paul completed a two-day swing through New Hampshire on Saturday as he prepares for a likely presidential run, sharpening his foreign policy language while at the same time intensifying his criticism of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The Kentucky Republican stopped in Rochester, Exeter and Hampstead before speaking in a crowded tasting room at Fulchino Vineyard in Hollis. Paul used his latest visit to the first-in-the-nation primary to make the case he is best suited to reclaim the White House on the Republican ticket.

I think Im one of the most fiscally conservative members of the Senate, but Im also one of the members who my belief in liberty issues, I think, allows me to reach out to new constituencies, he said.

The next generation of voters, for example, are not excited about having their phone records scarfed up by government, and Paul said his view on privacy has resonated with them. He also teamed up with two liberal senators from the Northeast to introduce a bill to end the federal ban on medical marijuana.

With regard to reaching out to new constituencies, its pretty much been me talking about things like the Fifth Amendment and the Sixth Amendment; that your property shouldnt be taken without due process, without a conviction, that you should get a speedy trial and that many people who are the poorest among us are the ones that are having difficulty getting justice in our criminal justice system, he added.

Although tight-lipped on when he may announce his intentions to seek the presidency in 2016, his campaign has scheduled a New Hampshire stop on April 8 in Milford. It is the first stop after a special announcement slated for April 7 in Kentucky where it is widely speculated he will officially make his presidential bid.

The senator has planned visits to South Carolina, Iowa and Nevada all early voting states in the three days following his Milford stop.

New Hampshire is very encouraging its got that Live Free or Die spirit, its got a lot of the I would call it the Leave me alone coalition that just wants government to mind its own business in many ways, so I think there is an audience up here and were looking forward to figuring it out in the next couple of weeks probably, he said in a one-on-one interview with The Telegraph.
