Rand Paul confronted by foul-mouthed constituent during a virtual town hall meeting
Business Insider ^ | July 24 | Alia Shoaib

Posted on 07/26/2021 12:35:13 AM PDT by RandFan

Sen. Rand Paul was told to "get f---ed" during a virtual town hall meeting.

The Kentucky senator was taking calls from constituents when one caller named Alexis Toon said, "Hi Senator, I'm a proud Kentucky citizen, and I just wanted to tell you to get f---ed."

Paul and his aide momentarily pause before the aide says, "Alright, we'll go ahead to our next question."

Toon posted the exchange on TikTok 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 has since been removed.

It's not clear why Toon took issue with the Republican senator, but Paul has often been criticized for the stances he has taken during the pandemic.

He has said he will not be getting a COVID-19 vaccine and has encouraged people who have had the virus or been vaccinated to "throw your mask away."

At least it was real and unscripted. That will never happen to Biden.

“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.”

That’s the best mister toon could come up with?
And he posted it on TikToc?!

Social media has played a big role in coarsening the culture. People who crave attention on affirmation on those sites try to outdo each other in terms of rudeness and crudeness. The era of taking pride in being polite and well-mannered and teaching your kids to be the same is sadly. I can’t it’s solely a problem of the left, as we have a few jerks on our side too, though I think the left is much, much worse in this regard. Surveys have verified that, with conservatives mostly having a live-and-let-live attitude toward liberals but liberals have more of a drop-dead-I-hate-you attitude toward conservatives.

Wonder if it’s another CIA plant like the dude that “confronted” Tucker Carlson?

Wow. The F word. That blows Senator Paul’s whole Covid immunity theory out of the water. What an argument.

Also, is a citizen of Kentucky the same as an American citizen?

I don't know about surveys but as someone {that carries} and frequently wears a Trump hat, I can verify that statement.

Conservatives will give a thumbs up or smile and nod, but some irrational lefties will go verbally berserk {if I am carrying concealed, not if I am open carrying}.

Depending on my mood and the circumstances I will usually smile and walk away, but if I get into a verbal battle, I keep enough distance that I can protect myself from a physical attack.

Lefties are certifiable.

“conservatives mostly having a live-and-let-live attitude toward liberals but liberals have more of a drop-dead-I-hate-you attitude toward conservatives.”

And what gene are libs missing to make them believe that only one opinion — theirs — is permissible? And they DO want us dead. It’s insane, and demonic.

This would never happen to Lindsey Grahmnesty. All his virtual town hall meetings are scripted. Likewise, many democrats have scripted town hall meetings, in which the hand pick the questions.
