Sen. Rand Paul took a break from making up stories about being attacked by angry liberal mobs, picking fights with Dr. Fauci, and accusing ’80s singers of trying to poison him to hold a virtual town hall meeting over the weekend and, let’s just say, it didn’t go over so well.

The antigay Kentucky senator, who is up for reelection in 2022, was taking calls from constituents when someone by the name of Alexis Toon phoned in to say: “Hi Senator! I’m a proud Kentucky citizen, and I just wanted to tell you to get f*cked.”
There was a long and very awkward pause before Paul’s aide stepped in to reply, “Alright, we’ll go ahead to our next question.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Toon later posted the exchange on TikTok, along with the caption: “For some unknown reason they called and asked if I’d like to join the town hall Q&A so I took the opportunity and ran with it.”
The video also made its was onto Twitter, where it has racked up millions of views in just a few days.
Critics of Paul, who is being challenged for his seat by former Kentucky state legislator Charles Booker in next year’s midterms, are applauding Toon and calling her a “hero.”
Here’s what they’re saying on Twitter…
Meet our new hero, Alexis Toon. ?
According to Alexis, “for some unknown reason” she was asked to participate in a town hall Q&A, so she took the opportunity and ran with it.
Thank you, Alexis ? pic.twitter.com/H97hJlcVrx

I don’t think anything today could possibly top that caller who told Porn Perm Rand Paul to get fucked.

The Montana Man who just unabashedly destroyed Tucker Carlson, and the patriotic Kentucky woman who told Rand Paul to "Get Fucked," should BOTH be given the Presidential Medal of Freedom ??

Meanwhile, Paul hasn’t commented on the embarrassing incident. But he did tweet for the 20 millionth time about how absolutely outraged he is that the FBI still hasn’t arrested any of the people who “attacked” him and his wife last August.
“The FBI arrested exactly zero of the mob who attacked my wife and me,” he tweeted on Monday. “Meanwhile every day the FBI arrests anybody and everybody who came to DC on January 6th. Double standard? You bet!”

Seriously, he’s still talking about this?
Investigators announced last November that they would not waste valuable time and resources looking into the alleged “attack,” which happened last August as Paul and his wife were leaving the White House after Donald Trump‘s GOP convention speech, after reviewing video footage and determining no crimes were committed.

I can’t tell if that wig was a choice or if that wig was a *choice*.

He used to be kind of normal. Since he drank the trump look-aid he’s just nuts.

He’s never been kind of normal. He was always a libertarian right-wing outlier in the GOP, like his racist, homophobic father. He also seems to rarely if ever vote for legislation that would benefit a majority of Kentuckians so I wonder why they keep sending him back to Washington.

Rand Paul’s father was paid by the government, Rand Paul is paid by the government, and yet Rand cries and screams about the government giving handouts.
Just another Republican wimpy crybaby.
Kangol2
He’s a walking farce.

Another sniveling coward in Congress. Or we surprised that it’s a Republican?

This whole thing with the Republicans trying to play down the clown-inspired insurrection of January 6th just thoroughly disgusts me. The Democrats need to make many television commercials juxtaposing the Jan. 6th attack on the Capital and these traitorous Republicans trying to minimize what happened.
Meanwhile, no decent person supports Rand Paul and there are quite a few people in Congress right now who are even more obnoxious than he is – he’s lost any niche he may have ever had.
