Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes (D.) said Friday that Sen. Rand Paul (R.) "can be beaten," "just ask his neighbor."

Grimes made the comment at Kentucky's Fancy Farm picnic, which serves as a start to the state's campaign season for both parties, the Associated Press reports.

She said at the Democrats' traditional bean supper, "many folks think that Rand Paul can't be beat. I don't buy that. Just ask his neighbor. He can be beaten."

Grimes was referring to a November attack on Paul by his neighbor that left him with five rib fractures, including three displaced fractures.

After the attack, Paul also bled from cuts around his mouth and had difficulty breathing.

As for being beaten in an election, Paul first ran and was first elected to the Senate in 2010. He subsequently won his re-election race in 2016.

Doug Stafford, Paul's chief strategist, called Grimes' remarks "almost as sad and pathetic as her last campaign."

McConnell suffers from premature confirmation... Well, I will be sixty years old in December and am losing a bit of hair lately, so you might say that I am suffering from Premature Kojackulation.
