Cliven Bundy: I Lectured Rand Paul

Rand Paul met privately with rancher and anti-government activist Cliven Bundy on Monday, Politico reports. Bundy says he and the Republian presidential candidate chatted for 45 minutes about federal land oversight and states’ rights, along with education policy. “I don’t think he really understood how land rights really work in the western United States,” Bundy said. “I was happy to be able to sort of teach him.” Paul said in a speech preceding his meeting with Bundy that “almost all land use issues and animal issues, endangered species issues, ought to be handled at the state level.”
