Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Tuesday called for Iowa Democratic Senate nominee Mike Franken to be disqualified for his tweet last year mocking a 2017 physical attack by Paul’s neighbor.
Paul’s neighbor broke several of his ribs and caused the Kentucky Republican to undergo surgery after saying he was angered by the senator repeatedly putting debris near his house when doing yard work.
“Wasn’t Rand’s neighbor more than a little in the right?” Franken wrote on Jan. 21, 2021, in response to an appearance Paul made on Fox News the day before.
“Disgusting that Mike Franken would celebrate an assault (from behind) that resulted in 6 broken ribs, a damaged lung that had to be removed, and chronic pain,” Paul responded on Tuesday. “Advocacy for violence should disqualify Franken from holding ANY office.”
