MSNBC Reporter: Rand Paul Being Beaten Up Is 'One Of My Favorite Stories'

Well, this was a rather awkward moment. NBC reporter Kasie Hunt described the assault on Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) as “one of her favorite stories.” Of course, this isn’t the best phrase to describe this incident, with Hunt trying to correct herself on air but opting to continue with her report. She concluded that Paul’s assault by neighbor, Rene Boucher, was caused by a landscaping dispute, declaring that as the reason for the attack. This was not a simple push and shove. Paul was severely injured, with six broken ribs (via Politico):

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Wednesday he had sustained six broken ribs and a build-up of fluids between his chest and lungs as a result of an altercation with a neighbor last Friday, revealing additional maladies about the previously reported incident.

"I appreciate all of the support from everyone. A medical update: final report indicates six broken ribs & new X-ray shows a pleural effusion," Paul tweeted. The pleural effusion, which was previously undisclosed, results in a buildup of fluids around the lungs.

A top adviser for the senator had previously announced Paul had only sustained five broken ribs, including "three displaced fractures."

Doug Stafford, Paul's chief political strategist, had previously cautioned that the senator's condition could prove more severe than the initial prognosis.

“Displaced rib fractures can lead to life-threatening injuries such as: hemopneumothorax, pneumothorax, pneumonia, internal bleeding, laceration of internal organs and lung contusions. Senator Paul does have lung contusions currently,” Stafford said Sunday. “This type of injury is also accompanied by severe pain that can last weeks to months.”

Boucher is expected to face federal charges over the assault. Yet, there have been multiple reports disputing the landscaping claim. Still, and yes, we’re still playing this game, if a Democrat got the crap kicked out of him (or her) over grass clippings, “favorite story” probably wouldn’t be the descriptor—though we would have a lot of interesting takes about how all of this was somehow Trump’s fault. Oh wait:

What would the libs say if one of us said Gabby Giffords had it coming? You know they would if it happened to Palin.

Not that hot, but she does assume the position well.

Kasie: 32 years young, hot and stupid.

Have to disagree - she's not hot (and this has nothing to do with the fact that she's a fan of political violence, though that's kind of a turn-off as well). Her face in this picture looks like a ham with a wig.

Yet another lovely, liberal person. They are so wonderful and neat. We should be just like them, and the world will be better place.

Kasie Hunt is out of control. This is the second tongue flop she has come out with in just a few days and worse than the first. What a putz.

Hunt was the one who first coined “fake grope” that was picked up by other of the MNBC female pun-ditz, describing the photo of the sleeping entertainer.

Man..... this Kasie Hunt is a real HATER!

Too bad she's pretty....... as in a "little rich girl" look.

But she'll end up having that ugly cold hatred coming out on her face eventually as she gets older.

Bummer.........

(That Stephanie Ruhle is one beautiful woman. Too bad she's a lefty too.)

..... figured it out (Stephanie Ruhle)

I saw her a couple of weeks ago spending about a full half of an hour desperately trying to make President Trump look like a hater concerning the conditions in Puerto Rico after the hurricanes.

...”No matter how “hot” a woman my be, her hotness to me dies when I found out she is a Liberal/Democrat/Socialist.”...

To the guys on FR: “Hot” soon disappears, but cruelty and stupidity hardly ever does. The Bible has some direct warnings about the consequences of succumbing to lips dripping with honey. So, beware, fellows. Real truth does not change with time.

That scowl & that sidelong granite glare resembles the Clintons staring down their accusers. Pure evil.

Kasie, (who dreamed up that name?) a blindside cheap shot is not a fight.
