Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes reportedly joked on Friday about the assault on Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., by his neighbor, saying it shows ‘he can be beaten’.

Associated Press reporter Adam Beam tweeted that Democrat Grimes made the remark at a local Fancy Farm Picnic in Kentucky on Friday, which Kentucky political candidates often use as the kickoff for election campaigns. Grimes is considering running for governor in 2019.

...

Grimes’ remark sparked a response from Paul's chief strategist Doug Stafford, who made a reference to Grimes’ failed 2014 Senate run, where she attempted to unseat Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.“That’s almost as sad and pathetic as her last campaign,” he said. “Mitch beat her so bad he almost got charged with a hate crime.”

If Alison were gang raped by a bunch of MS-13 gangsters, I would be sad. But not very.

Come on folks, have a sense of humor. It was actually a funny line. It wasn’t vicious, it was a play on words. Lighten up, Francis.

If a Republican candidate or office holder made such a remark
the MSM, 24/7 would call for that person to drop out of the race or resign.

...saying it shows ‘he can be beaten’...

It was a typical democrat/antifa style attack. The Senator got off his riding mower and still had ear protection on.

Of course, he was attacked democrat style in a sneak attack from the rear.
This is the way democrats and liberals work. A cowardly attack from the back. .

Agree, ts a line Trump could easily have said and we’d all be laughing along.

I do suspect Alison has a bit of a wild past.

Exactly right.

Some things are not proper to joke about.

Rand Paul could have died in that attack.

And, remember it was the liberals, after the Tucson shooting, who told us we aren’t to use any violent imagery or metaphors. This Alison Grimes is violating the liberals own rules here.

As I am sure you know, liberal rules only apply to conservatives and not to liberals, leftists, etc.

I think we should be as forgiving as the left would be, if a similar joke was made about one of theirs.

Except you never look a gift horse in the mouth. Some folks haven't figured out Fort Sumter II is coming quick. Well that's unless they are just going to go belly up and say they voted for Obama when the shooting starts

Yes, Allison, but you got screwed. I hope you laid there and enjoyed it. Oh, j/k.

Personally find nothing humorous in the content of what this woman stated. The guy assaulting Paul was a coward using coward’s tactics, and seriously injured Paul. Nothing funny period.

I agree, she could be comedy relief on "The View".

I liked the campaign manager quip.

Exactly. Don’t give them one inch.

Clever; yes. Funny; no. JMHO. Just poor form; even in a bloodsport like politics.

Next thing you know someone will be using terms like “Low Energy Jeb” or “Little Rubio” or “Crooked Hillary”. /s

Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes should be arrested for hate speech. There was nothing funny about Sen. Rand Paul being blindsided and seriously injured by a thug. Is that what Grimes thinks is okay to say?

Do the Democrats have anything intelligent to offer?

And demand that every other conservative, from the President on down “denounce” the candidate.
