Senator Rand Paul repeated a call by the President this week to end aid to Pakistan, saying that Trump is right because Pakistan provides a safe haven for terrorists, incarcerates Christians, and hates the US.

Appearing on Fox News Channel's "Your World," Paul said that aid should not be given to countries who deny human rights and openly oppose US principles.

"I think most Americans would support the president on this. Why don't we like to see our money going to countries that burn our flag?" Paul said.

"In Pakistan, they incarcerate Christians." he added, explaining that "There is a Christian Asia Bibi that's been on death row for five years."

"They put a Dr. Shakil Afridi in jail for 33 years. He's the guy that helps us get bin Laden." Paul added, noting that "They looked the other way that bin Laden was there over a decade."

"So yes there should be conditions to it. We shouldn't give money to countries that have mass protests burning our flag and put Christians in jail for gossip." Paul exclaimed.
