Rand Paul Just Had A Sitdown With Al Sharpton in DC

[NACBA]

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), who is likely running for president in 2016, had a meeting with the Rev. Al Sharpton in Washington, D.C. Thursday morning. Both men characterized the conversation as an attempt to foster dialoque across party lines.

"It was a very candid and courteous conversation. We pledged to continue to have such conversations where conservatives and progressives can have dialogue and break the log jam in American discussion," Sharpton said in a statement.

Paul's press secretary, Eleanor May, told Business Insider the meeting with Sharpton is "another example of Sen. Paul's willingness to work across the aisle to solve our nation's problems."

Who on earth took that horrible photo?! Mon Dieu! A 3-year old could take a better shot.

[Brett85]

Man, Rand had his eyes closed, and his hair looked terrible. Lol.

The Ralph Nader plan!

[NOVALibertarian]

This photo doesn't seem very High Definition somehow. But I'm no photography expert by a long shot.

They're the only two photos I know of. I suspect camera phone.

[anaconda]

Anyone know the background on this? Who did the invite?

I suspect Sharpton's twitter may be controlled by a 3rd party agent; likely the camera phone operator

[SilentBull]

Wow, Rand is just amazing. I don't know how he does it, but stuff like this really will make a huge difference. It's gonna be a lot harder for these guys to attack him personally, once they realize they actually do like him as a person.

LOL. I was wondering about the etiquette of Tweeting during a breakfast conversation.

looks almost like it was ran through a filter to make it look aged.

I bet the fact that he is willing to sit down and talk with Sharpton leads maddow to go even more bat$#@! crazy.

How interesting, since Al Sharptown has a tax evasion thing going on.

Not really, it's like pro wrestling in D.C.. Guys have a beef when the cameras are rolling, but afterward they share the same locker room and all go out for drinks later.

Lol, how can they let that blink picture get out? If Rand can't look nice and presentable, keep the picture locked up. The aide should always be taking multiple shots.

Either way, good for Rand, he is always doing "interesting" things

[Crashland]

Sharpton tends to say nice things about Rand on MSNBC. They seem to have a good cordial relationship going. When Rand does this, then even when they dont agree with his position, they are more likely to give him the benefit of the doubt in terms of his motives, as opposed to character-assassinating him.

I always thought Sharpton was the most disgusting, corrupt man in America until Obama took his title.

[philipped]

Like I've posted before........this is going to get very interesting.

[Rudeman]

Maybe he'll finally learn his name and stop calling him Ron.
