Essential viewing: Rand Paul and Jack Conway indignantly spar over which is a greater offense in Kentucky: invoking a man’s faith — or his pony?

Watch it above.

Paul: “People who have a race horse might have to pay a little bit more of the cost of their medicare.”

Moderate: Does Mr. Conway own a race course?

Conway: “I do know in Kentucky that Kentuckians know you don’t attack a man’s dog and you don’t attack a man’s horse.”

Paul (interrupts): “But you can attack a man’s religion, right? Yeah I guess that’s OK, right?”

Conway: “I questioned your actions, not your faith.”
