Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said that "misinformation" could be a "great tactic" during a speech to a group of medical school students in 2013.
In a video shared to Twitter by epidemiologist Eric Feigl-Ding on Wednesday, the Kentucky Republican can be seen telling students that "misinformation works" during an Aug. 22, 2013, lecture at the University of Louisville School of Medicine.
A student asked Paul, who worked as an ophthalmologist for many years before entering politics, for advice on taking a midterm exam. Paul responded by recalling his own college strategy of using misinformation to "trick" fellow students that he viewed as "opponents."

"Misinformation" == "lie"
Do you think it was okay for Senator Rand Paul to tell students lying was a good tactic?

Some of us Republicans will never adopt misinformation, no matter how tempting. The 10 Commandments clearly condemn the very thought of false witness, which is basically all about getting something for nothing but a lie that ruins somebody else. Maybe I'm just speaking for myself, but I just couldn't go there, and if Rand Paul is supporting misinformation, I will never support him for another second. The truth is important. Lies beget calumny and calumny begets going to hell in a handbasket. Just my opinion born of fighting off lies for four years of President Trump's first administration. I hope you change your mind about adopting democrat ways. We paid millions and millions of dollars preventing lies from the office of Hillary Clinton's War Machine from completely decimating the Executive Branch of the Constitution, and now she's talking about running for the Presidency and those of us who recall the details of the Whitewater scandal do not care for her pretending to forget her role in bilking a lot of elderly investors of the Whitewater investment losing their lifelong savings for their old age by her greed for bilking all the other investors to finance her husband's continuing political career, not to mention the women he pawed around on in the Oval office whose husbands committed suicide or filed for divorce. The woman has had her shot and she's still taking them from a desk at the White House, 4 decades of destroying Constitutional virtues later.
