And during a subsequent segment on MSNBC this afternoon, Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd expressed concern that it might become a pattern for the newly-announced Republican presidential candidate. “Not a good move,” Mitchell said of Paul’s decision to accuse the Today show’s Savannah Guthrie of “editorializing” his record. “It was a memorable interview that quickly went downhill for the newly declared presidential candidate.” Todd described Paul’s tactic as a “standard trick in the playbook of some politicians” to “immediately attack the premise” of an interviewer’s question if you don’t like where they are heading. In the case of Guthrie, Paul did not appreciate her suggestion that he has changed positions on issues like foreign aid to Israel.
