ROCK HILL, S.C. — Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul hammered Hillary Clinton for her hawkish foreign policy Friday evening, less than an hour before the former secretary of state was scheduled to arrive at Winthrop University for the "First in the South" Democratic presidential forum.
"I think Hillary Clinton is a neocon," the GOP hopeful told MSNBC's Chris Matthews.
"She supported the war in Iraq, in Afghanistan," Paul said of the presumptive Democratic nominee.
He added, "If Hillary Clinton is president, we will be back at war in the Middle East."
The Kentucky senator also took jabs at one of his Republican rivals, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
Paul said Rubio "agrees with Clinton" on foreign policy and indirectly accused him and other Republican hopefuls of being "naive" in their understanding of foreign affairs.

There ya have it, folks. The term “neocon” has lost any connection with reality.
RAND PAUL is an idiot !
It never really did.
I think Hillary is actually a “reverse neocon”.....A neocon is a liberal who has seen the light ,albeit with imperialistic tendencies ( i.e. make the world safe for democracy)...Whereas Hillary is an imperialist that wants to make the world safe for totalitarianism.
Hillary is also for war in Libya and Syria don’t forget
Someone please up Rand's lithium and stick him back in a rubber room!
Rand Paul, where have you been, a stay-cacion on the patio, maybe? Last thing I heard from Rand was on Oct. 29th, when he filibustered the proposed budget. Filibustered, for less than 20 minutes. But it was the sincere intention behind the action that matters. right Rand?
The Paul’s have always been against the liberal Rockefeller Republicans of the last century who IMHO became what we now call Neocons with examples like Cheney and Rumsfeld in recent memory, plus in the media universe of today Charles Krauthammer, Michael Medved etc. etc.
Well, as far as foreign policy goes, HRC is much much closer to Rubio and GWB than someone like Sanders.
Bought and paid for by the ‘military industrial complex’ and ready to intervene in the ‘tradition’ of Libya and Syria which gave us everything from Benghazi to the Islamic State.
Hillary is almost like John McCain in a pantsuit.
That is absolutely what she is.
Too many FReepers have no idea what a neocon is. And how much damage those “ex” communists have done to us.
LOL
You nailed that with a bridge spike and a ten pound sledge hammer.
And, let’s not forget her friend Victoria Nuland at the State Department. That is as neocon as it gets. Hey, war with Russia anyone?
If Hillary follows Obama’s lead we will be at war with Israel
I firmly believe there is no hope for this nation, brain dead ruling class, and brain dead voting class.
I would like to say you are wrong; because I don’t know what to do, exactly.
But I don’t think you are wrong. If you’re wrong, I’m wrong with ya on this.
And I don’t like it. We definitely have a 47% that appears to be out-of-touch with reality.
