FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Rand Paul was recovering Sunday from five broken ribs after he was assaulted by a neighbor who tackled him from behind at the senator’s Kentucky home, officials said.
Senior Adviser Doug Stafford said it is unclear when the Republican will return to work since he is in considerable pain and has difficulty getting around, including flying. Stafford said this type of injury is marked by severe pain that can last for weeks to months.
“This type of injury is caused by high velocity severe force,” Stafford said in an email to The Associated Press.

Fakebook didn’t pull the posts from militant left wingers on their website who celebrated his assault.
That apparently doesn’t violate their hate speech or violence posting rules.
This guy lives next door to Sen. Paul. How is he free on $7,500 after violently attacking him? How does Paul or his wife live at home with his attacker only feet away? Hope he owns guns.
Huge lawsuit coming.
Good ole Rand will recover just in time to vote no on tax cuts.
I hope Rand Paul recovers with no long-term ill effects. This type of outrage against a public official is appalling.
If some conservative broke five of Schumer’s ribs, it would be the #1 story, and would be offered as proof of the rise of conservative fascism.
My country ‘tis of thee,
Progressive misery;
Here’s to their tears!
Meanwhile in flyover,
home of Deplorables,
life is endurable,
for at least 3 more years.
I guess you haven’t considered the possibility that the leftist attack on Senator Paul may have had as its objective keeping him away from Washington where he would vote FOR tax reductions? No? I didn’t think so.

Thank you Sargeant Schultz.

keeping him away from Washington where he would vote FOR tax reductions
That may have been a thought of the dumb-ass attacker. But as of now I assume Rand will vote no on everything.
Lawsuit??? How about attempted murder charges?
Mama always said that assumption is the mother of all foul-ups. She didn’t say it with such clean language, however.
NonStop
I had 2 broken ribs. Very painful and nothing to do about it. They can give you some pain pills. But sneezing, coughing, getting in our out of bed is all very painful. And they aren’t going to heal for 8 weeks.
DEMOCRATS MURDER REPUBLICANS
it is what they do.
Ban Democrat Guns, Now.
Hope so. That so called "cut" slaps me with a 30% increase.
If it were reversed and one of our real rulers like Schumer were assaulted, the guy would disappear for a very long time, maybe forever.
Sounds like Rand was blindside tackled.
