Kentucky Passes Civil Rights Legislation In Reaction To Rand Paul

Remarks by Republican U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul of Kentucky have led that state’s legislature to pass civil rights legislation.

Louisville Democratic Sen. Gerald Neal introduced the resolution Friday during a special session on the state budget. It was adopted without objection in the predominantly Republican chamber.

Neal, Kentucky’s only black state senator, said he took personal offense at the comment made last week by Paul, a U.S. Senate candidate, who was criticizing the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Neal believes Paul’s comments render Kentucky a “laughingstock.”
