Rand Paul's Column Moves To Breitbart After Plagiarism Stir

Sen. Rand Paul's weekly column, axed from The Washington Times this week after plagiarism allegations, has already found a new outlet.

The conservative media outlet Breitbart News announced on Wednesday that Paul, the Kentucky tea party favorite and possible 2016 Republican presidential contender, would become the newest contributor amid its recent "period of exponential growth."

“We are pleased to add Senator Paul to our lineup of fearless, original thought leaders," said Larry Solov, CEO of Breitbart News. "Most of all, we think the fighting spirit he has become known for is a perfect fit for Breitbart News Network and reflects that of our founder, Andrew Breitbart.”
