Republican Debate 2016: Is Marco Rubio True Conservative? Rand Paul Takes Shot At Rising Star On Values
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul dueled with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio over the intersection of military spending and conservative values in one of the most heated exchanges of the Fox Business Network debate Tuesday.
"I know the world is a safer and better place when America is the strongest military power in the world," Rubio said.
Paul jumped in, saying that Rubio's economic plan was not truly conservative since it adds a major childcare tax credit and increases military spending. "Can you be a conservative and be liberal in military spending?" Paul asked.
