You either didn't watch the video or are just trolling, because he answered her multiple times.

It is undeniable that Ron Paul has changed his position over the years about the newsletters, and he has displayed no apparent intellectual curiosity whatsoever about who on his payroll was writing such terrible things using his name.
That alone should give the public cause for concern, and demands further explanation.
Yet his supporters want to grant Ron Paul a no-questions asked free pass, and simply sweep everything under the carpet.

Ron Paul is back in the hunt for the Presidency. Many see him as an appealing candidate, one who opposes the wars, wants drugs legalized and supports fiscal responsibility. What they don?t know, is his long history of racism and connection to white supremacists. He has dodged questions on his connections to white supremacists and the newsletters, full of abhorrent racism that he put out in his name and he made millions from, spreading racism.
There has been controversy over Ron Paul?s ties to racism for some time now. Many people have pointed to Ron Paul?s Newsletters as proof of his racism. Paul has previously admitted to writing the newsletters and defended the statements in 1996, then blamed them on an unnamed ghostwriter in 2001 and then denied any knowledge of them in 2008.
He has given no explanation, for how the racism entered his newsletter and has dodged questions about them without casting blame on anyone. If we are to take Paul at his word, he is guilty of at least promoting racism on a large scale. Paul earned almost a million dollars a year from the racist, conspiracy theorist newsletters.

Ron Paul Direct Mail Warned Of ?Race War,? ?Federal-Homosexual Cover-up On AIDS?
First it was the racist newsletters. Now it's the direct mail advertising them. In a signed appeal to potential subscribers in 1993, Ron Paul urged people to read his publications in order to prepare for a "race war," military rule, and a conspiracy to use a new $100 bill to track Americans.
The eight-page mailer obtained by Reuters via Jamie Kirchick, who unearthed Paul's newsletter archives in 2008, is mostly focused on a rambling conspiracy theory about changes to the dollar. But Paul tries to bolster his credibility on the issue by noting that his newsletters have also "laid bare the the coming race war in our big cities" as well as the "federal-homosexual coverup on AIDS," adding that "my training as a physician helps me see through this one." He also condemns the "demonic fraternity" Skull and Bones, a Yale secret society that "includes George Bush and leftist Senator John Kerry, Congress's Mr. New Money," and "the Israeli lobby that plays Congress like a cheap harmonica."
Given that the most shocking racist and homophobic content from his actual newsletters is reprinted in the span of just one eight-page mailer, it offers a stark picture of just how focused the publication was on these conspiracy theories. You can read the full letter here.

READ: Ron Paul Fundraising Letter
Quote:
In the letter, Paul warns that the federal government is planning to put chemical tracking agents in new currency as part of a broader authoritarian plot and that he had personally witnessed future designs for currency while serving in Congress.
"The totalitarian bills were tinted pink and blue and brown, and blighted with holograms, diffraction gratings, metal and plastic threads, and chemical alarms," he writes. "It was a portable inquisition, a paper ?third degree,' to allow the feds to keep track of American cash, and American citizens."
He goes on to warn the "New Money" will "steal our freedom and prosperity" and "accelerate the transfer wealth and power [sic] from the people to the government and its friends."
Paul's Iowa chairman, Drew Ivers, told Reuters that Paul - who now claims he had no knowledge of his newsletters' incendiary content - does not deny having written anything that carries his signature, such as the direct mail piece. However, Ivers said he didn't believe Paul actually subscribes to all the theories outlined in the letter.
"I don't think he embraces that," Ivers said when asked about the "federal-homosexual" conspiracy to cover up AIDS. He characterized Paul's newsletters as "a public service, helping people understand and equip them to avoid an unsound monetary policy."
If he authored the material, why does he not "embrace" his old views and when did he change his thinking on some of these issues? If he didn't author the letter or his newsletters, who did? And how did he end up employing a group of writers with racist, anti-gay, and extremist views to ghostwrite his own publication?

Ron Paul stands as an enemy to freedom, liberty and the constitution. His rhetoric says freedom and liberty but his practical application of said ideals, would allow for full on oppression of the minorities. Ron Paul is a racist, fascist, liar, scumbag and liberty charlatan. His toolbox is a box of lies and his supporters spread those lies. Ron Paul and his followers would destroy America and ruin liberty and freedom as we know it.
Make no mistake about it, Ron Paul would stand up for the right of a state to lynch a black man, simply because he?s black. In Ron Paul?s book states rights trump human rights. This isn?t hyperbole or exaggerated rhetoric. We?re only one generation removed from a culture that lynched and oppressed black people. If given the power, those policies could and would be legal again in parts of our country and Ron Paul would let it happen. Ron Paul IS dangerous and would destroy our liberties.

Ron Paul's decades long racist fear-mongering fundraising scams are finally catching up with him. 
Funny to watch Ron Paul now disavow the methods and philosophy that he used to build his base and raise money, while trying to hoodwink the public now by acting completely innocent. Meanwhile his apologists try to paint Ron Paul as a victim of the media, completely ignoring that it is his own organization's writings and reprehensible racist and bigoted philosophy that are the real issue here.
