Ron Paul on Russia: 'U.S. is Interfering in Foreign Elections All The Time'

Ron Paul has gave some statements on the Russia hacking and he seems quite mellow about what has "happened" even though there is no hard evidence that it actually happened. He explains that quite clearly the U.S. has had a terribly lengthy history of meddling and taking part in trying to change or control foreign elections in many countries that it really has no standing foot or legit position to actually criticise other countries for doing the exact same thing. This seems interesting, however I think the funniest possible part is that he seems so chill about it, as if it's like an everyday normal thing that happens on the daily. Oh the Russians had to have meddled, he also stated he's for smaller government. At least I can respect Ron Paul for being principled. "I’m sure the Russians are interfering,” added Paul, a three-time White House hopeful. "We are interfering all the time.”

“If you review the history of how many elections we’ve been involved with, how many countries we’ve invaded and how many people we’ve killed to have our guy in, I’ll tell you what – we don’t have very much room for condemning anybody else.”

Paul said Russia did not noticeably influence the heated 2016 race between Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, who is now the president-elect.

“I think it’s insignificant. But I don’t think it made any difference. But when you lose, you can jump on that and make a big point of it," he said.

“I think the spying and interference is sort of the nature of our governments. That’s why I’d like to see government much smaller," he said.
