We need to point to Rand Paul on the right to up Obama's bonafides on foreign policy.

The GOP has been attacking Obama on his foreign policy stance since Benghazi. They don't let him have any success without trying to turn it into a failure. But look who has won the GOP CPAC straw poll two years in a row. And look at his foreign policy. We need to highlight that.

Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) criticized Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) Sunday, saying the Kentucky Republican is scaring the American people.

"Here's a person who said we're more concerned about the CIA killing Americans with drones as they're having coffee in Starbucks, who said that the director of National Intelligence should be in the same jail as [Edward] Snowden," King said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday. "This, to me, is scaring Americans."

King accused Paul of telling Americans "we can retreat from the world."

"The fact is, nothing can make the world more dangerous than if America did retreat... we have to be a strong and viable nation, and we cannot allow isolationists to take over the Republican party," King said.
