Rand Paul Attacker Likes Bernie Sanders, Hates Trump
2017-11-07
[PJMEDIA] Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was assaulted at his Bowling Green, Ky., home on Friday and sustained minor injuries. According to police, Rene Boucher has been enjugged
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
for the assault. Boucher is a 59-year-old anesthesiologist who supports Sen. Bernie Sanders
...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords...
(I-Vt.) on universal health care and has widely shared his fierce opposition to President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
Among other things, Boucher wrote on Facebook, "May Robert Mueller fry Trump's gonads."

Paul also got caught up in the infamous attack at the Republican practice for the Congressional Baseball Game in June, when a Bernie Sanders supporter opened fire, seriously injuring House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.). Paul seems unable to catch a break.

"On Friday, November 3, 2017 at 3:21 p.m., KSP Troopers responded to the residence of Rand Paul in Warren County, in reference to a report of an assault," Kentucky State Police said in a news release Saturday. "Upon their arrival, it was determined that Rene Boucher had intentionally assaulted Paul causing a minor injury." A record from Warren County Regional Jail confirmed that Boucher was booked at 8:51 p.m. Friday. Neighbors report that Sen. Paul was mowing his lawn at the time of the attack and that the two neighbors have been embroiled in an ongoing dispute.

#12  How long until Senator Paul will be able to return to negotiating and voting in the Senate? In the meantime, the Republicans will be down both his energy and his vote, preventing who knows how many initiatives.

And how much was prevented in the House after the other Bernie Bro shot up the Republican softball team?

#6  Abu, most anesthesiologists do not participate in private health plans, which constrain how much they can charge "in-network."

This thug wants his government cheese and that's the antithesis of Wrong-Way Rand Paul

#3  This guy who attacked Paul can't be particularly analytical. Paul has been in the same camp (though coming from another direction) as the other GOP senators who have derailed several of Trump's legislative goals so far.
