Sen. Rand Paul is sticking his turtleneck out for civil liberties, though the internet is more interested in his clothing.

The Kentucky libertarian told CNN that he opposes a possible return to torture after fellow Republican President Trump ordered a review of policies around it.

However, those watching the Jake Tapper interview focused less on CIA black sites and more on Pauls sweater, which appeared to be a half-turtleneck or mockneck.

Paul has also become known for his appreciation of high-necked sweaters, with Mother Jones once calling him "the leading fashion visionary of DC, nay, the world."

Its new iphone time already? Twitter user Shoshana Weissman posted as discussion of the mock turtleneck began Wednesday, recalling the favorite apparel of late Apple founder Steve Jobs.

Others such as Maggie Serota said that Paul was looking like he just got back from his semester abroad.

Another common comparison for the senators sartorial choice was to the cartoon Archer where the secret agent main character is fond of a tactical turtleneck or "tactleneck."

However, he appeared on CNN to call for greater oversight of the CIA, and the senator said that among the 119 people detained by the CIA, more than 20 had been mistakenly identified.

He also discussed his proposed replacement to the Affordable Care Act, which gives tax credits for health savings accounts.
