Paul Questions Hillary's Sincerity on Women's Rights

CNN's State of the Union Sunday, 2016 Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul questioned Hillary Clinton's sincerity on women's rights given the fact that she may have accepted donations to the Clinton Foundation from countries with terrible human rights records.

Paul noted the "history" of the Clintons "feeling like they're above the law." Especially in light of touting that they would not accept donations to the Clinton Foundation during the time she was Secretary of State when there are accusations that they did.
