KY Senate Debate: Paul Refuses to Shake Conway's Hand
The Louisville Courier-Journal reports:
U.S. Senate candidates Rand Paul and Jack Conway both came out swinging on Sunday night in their most contentious and personally bitter debate, with Paul saying Conway had “descended into the gutter” with campaign ads about his past.
Paul, the Republican candidate and a Bowling Green ophthalmologist and tea party favorite, hammered Conway, a Democrat and Kentucky's attorney general, for ads focusing on allegations Paul joined a group at Baylor University that mocked Christians and once tied up a woman and asked her to worship an idol.
“Jack, you should be ashamed of yourself,” said Paul, who described himself as a “pro-life Christian” and refused to shake Conway's hand after the debate. “Have you no decency? Have you no shame?”
During the debate at the University of Louisville, Conway defended his attacks, which stemmed from published allegations about Paul's time at Baylor, and refused to apologize.
“Why did he freely join a group known for mocking, for making fun of people with faith?” Conway asked. “And … when is it ever a good idea to tie up a woman and ask her to kneel before a false idol, your god, which you call Aqua Buddha?”
By the end of the debate, Paul refused to shake Conway's hand.
