The Dem Senate committee sent out a letter on this it is totally bogus, even the Courier Journal is saying he never said he wanted to repeal this, I think they didn't know the pandora's box they were opening with their snark. They are now going to be the center of the controversy, since it was their interview that asked about this law, and their article which misled people as to his response.
I don't 'tweet' but that is an organized slam fest intended to sink in as 'fact' before a response is mounted. If people do tweet, perhaps they should counter.
That Rand was addressed in their senatorial committee letter before he even won the primary shows they see him as a particular target... and as a particularly attractive candidate to conservatives, so they are trying to paint him as beyond the pale before people get to know him.
