The Chris Christie–Rand Paul feud isn’t quite over. Earlier today on This Morning, the Kentucky senator warned Christie that he picked the wrong fight.

Paul at first seemed to not want to wade back into the controversy (“You’re not going to get me started on that, are you?” he joked when first asked about it), before getting into a discussion about his recent tiff with the New Jersey governor, who called some libertarian views “dangerous” last month. “I think that was a big mistake for him,” Paul said.

Paul argued that young people are more concerned with issues of privacy relating to their Internet activity or cell phones than they are about taxes and regulations. He reiterated that, if it were to come up in the Senate, he would vote to defund the NSA’s surveillance.

“I think the Republican party ought to be the party that is concerned with and wants to protect your right to privacy,” he said.
