A suspicious package containing white powder and a threatening image was sent to Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) home on Monday.
The FBI and the U.S. Capitol Police are investigating the package, which came in the form of an envelope, according to Politico and Fox News.
Fox News obtained a copy of the image showing Paul in bandages and a gun pointed at his head with text underneath stating “I’ll finish what your neighbor started you motherfucker.”
Paul’s neighbor, Rene Boucher, attacked the senator and broke several of his ribs in an argument over yard waste in 2017.
The senator tweeted on Monday night that he takes “these threats immensely seriously.”
“As a repeated target of violence, it is reprehensible that Twitter allows C-list celebrities to encourage violence against me and my family. Just this weekend Richard Marx called for violence against me and now we receive this powder filled letter,” Paul wrote.
He was referring to Marx’s tweet in which the singer vowed, “If I ever meet Rand Paul’s neighbor I’m going to hug him and buy him as many drinks as he can consume.”
Well, I guess it’s reassuring that Sen. Paul takes something seriously, since he certainly doesn’t view covid that way.
Great. Now he gets to play victim forever.
It is reprehensible to do this to Paul or any other Senator.
That said, Paul is about the person of least-interest on my radar.
And our boy Rand will be whining and sniveling about ‘cancel culture’ and the ‘Left’ and threats to HIM for just ‘exercising his rights’…all the while putting people that believe his BS in peril.
One wonders if this “package” originated in Paul’s DC office. There’s nothing about Randy that doesn’t scream attention whore!
