Rand Paul told minorities that the Democratic Party has failed them while speaking to a crowd that was 95% white in Nevada.
The dean of Nevada political coverage Jon Ralston tweeted:

.@randpaul says Dems have failed minorities, points out income gaps, states run by Dems. By coincidence, this crowd is 95 percent white.
Ralston also tweeted a picture of the crowd as Paul made his entrance:

It's Liberty Time! Baba O'Reilly playing!
The problem is obvious. Rand Paul is telling a crowd
that is almost all white that the Democratic Party has failed
minorities. Now is a good time to point out that Rand is selling himself
as the candidate that can attract minorities and young voters. What was
missing from the crowd in his speech today? Minorities and young
voters.
The mainstream media are doing their best to sell
Rand Paul as a legitimate candidate, just like they tried to sell Ted
Cruz as a legitimate candidate after he jumped into the 2016
presidential race. This is part of the flavor of the week coverage that
all of the Republican presidential candidates have been getting since
the 2012 election cycle.
Rand Paul is telling white Republicans what they
want to hear about Democrats and minorities. If this is Paul’s version
of attracting minority voters, it isn’t going to end well.
The
Republican solution for minorities is the same as it is for the rest of
the country that isn’t rich. You’re on your own. Paul disguises his
corporatist agenda with talk of liberty and freedom. A white candidate
was talking to white voters about how the opposition party has failed
minority voters is the perfect encapsulation of everything that is wrong
with the Republican Party.
