Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., lashed out at an interviewer today for asking persistent questions about a former aide who in the past espoused pro-secession, neo-confederate views.

“Don’t you have something better to read than a bunch of crap from people who don’t like me,” Paul said on NPR’s “On Point” when host John Harwood asked him about being criticized by The Economist for his close associate to former aide Jack Hunter.

Hunter, a former radio shock jock, co-wrote a book with Paul, “The Tea Party Goes to Washington,” and was Paul’s social media director.
