It's no surprise that Rand Paul's libertarian ideas have rankled some members of the Republican Party, but apparently, his wardrobe does too.

Politico reports that some attendees were turned off by the Kentucky senator's choice of attire when he spoke at the annual winter meeting hosted by the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch: jeans, a blue sport coat and cowboy boots.

Frayda Levin, who supports Paul and attended the conference in California last month, said that some attendees though his appearance as "cavalier." Another attendee told Politico that while "jeans might work for a younger audience...these are old bulls who put on a tie every day to go to the office."

Paul's fellow speakers, Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Florida and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, both opted for slightly more dressy attire: Cruz also had on a sport coat, in a tan color, but wore his with dark slacks, and Rubio donned a navy suit and tie.

While the 2016 presidential campaign will be an expensive affair that demands candidates bring in every dollar they can get their hands on, Paul is less reliant on big donations from wealthier Americans than some of his colleagues. His campaign committee has brought in $5.9 million, or 43 percent of its individual contributions, from donors who gave less than $200, according to an analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics.

By contrast, Rubio's campaign brought in $10.2 million from small donations, but that represented just 34 percent of his individual contributions. And Cruz's committee brought in just $2.9 million, or 16 percent of his contributions from small-dollar donors.

Sen. Rand Paul doubled down Monday on his earlier comments that vaccines should be voluntary, telling CNBC, I dont understand the point of why that would be controversial. He also alleged he was the victim of media bias.

The remarks of the Kentucky Republican, who is an ophthalmologist by training and a likely 2016 Republican presidential candidate, come as public health officials try to contain an outbreak of measles believed to be fueled in part by a growing number of families refusing to vaccinate their children.

Story Continued Below

Paul first expressed his stance on vaccinations during an interview with conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham, expressing particular concern over mandatory vaccinations for sexually transmitted diseases.

On CNBC, Closing Bell host Kelly Evans pushed back against the senator, saying maybe you are not aware, but there is a huge problem right now caused by parents deciding that the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine is voluntary.

Paul responded that he has heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines, though he was sure to note that he wasnt arguing vaccines are a bad idea.

The CDC has studied the alleged relationship between common vaccines like MMR and autism and found no links whatsoever. These results have been replicated by multiple separate reports.

The exchange stayed heated as the two changed subjects and began discussing the efficacy of corporate tax holidays. At one point, Paul shushed Evans and told her to calm down a bit here.

Evans also pressed the Republican on a Washington Post article about Pauls efforts in the early 2000s to protest the group that certifies ophthalmologists by starting his own National Board of Ophthalmology. Ultimately, Paul was able to certify only about 50 or 60 doctors and the state of Kentucky dissolved his board.

Paul responded to questions about the article by accusing Evans of mischaracterizing and confusing the whole situation and twist[ing] it as, he believed, the Post did in its article.
