DescriptionRep. Ron Paul defended his son on Thursday, insisting that the controversy over Rand Paul's civil rights beliefs were "overkill" and "unfair."

The elder Paul, a Republican from Texas and former presidential candidate, said his son, the Kentucky GOP Senate nominee, is being asked questions that are irrelevant to the campaign by interviewers with a partisan agenda.

"It's contrived because he's done so well," Ron Paul said outside the House chamber Thursday afternoon.

On Wednesday night, Rand Paul dodged questions from liberal MSNBC host Rachel Maddow about whether he believes the Civil Rights Act of 1964 should not have given the federal government power to enforce the integration of lunch counters and other privately owned businesses.
