Paul and Sharpton hold 'candid but courteous' breakfast summit

Paul’s spokeswoman said the meeting with Sharpton was “another example of Sen. Paul’s willingness to work across the aisle to solve our nation’s problems.”

But the two also discussed areas of disagreement, Sharpton said in a statement, notably their difference of opinion on President Barack Obama’s impending executive action on deportations, which Paul opposes.

Still, Sharpton said, the meeting went well.
