(Business Insider) — Presidential candidate and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) blasted former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday over her husband’s record on criminal justice reform.

According to The Hill, the libertarian-oriented senator spoke in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, vowing to compete in the city if he becomes the nominee.

“I’ll ask Hillary Clinton, ‘What have you done for criminal justice? Your husband passed all the laws that put a generation of black men in prison.’ Her husband was responsible for that,” Paul said.
