Paul staffer says Rubio aide punched him (Ah, hit him back!)

A top official for Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is accusing a rival staffer with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) of punching him in the face.

John Yob, the national political director for Paul’s 2016 presidential campaign, says the incident occurred early Friday morning in a bar on Mackinac Island, Mich. “I ran into a guy named Rich Beeson, who frankly I didn’t even know who it was at first as he isn’t relevant in our political world,” Yob wrote on his Facebook page.

“Anyway, he is Marco Rubio’s national campaign manager,” he said. “He literally physically assaulted me in the face.”

“The state police are looking for him,” Yob added of Beeson. “I have it on video, from multiple angles. This will play out in the national media in the next few hours.”

Yob has subsequently released footage allegedly depicting the physical violence against him.

What a disgrace and a blemish on the pacifist GOP, the party of surrender. Rubio and Paul should withdraw, in shame.

Lessons from this incident: 1) stay out of bars. 2) neither Paul nor Rubio are at fault for the way these 2 kids acted.

Both of them should be very careful. There are sharks in the waters around Mackinac and one of the most dangerous sharks of them all belongs to Ted Cruz and that shark is in its home range.

“He literally physically assaulted me in the face.”

Shouldn't that be: "“He literally physically indubitably assaulted me in the face”?

Gay bar probably.

What were they both doing on Mackinac Island? It's not like it's on the way to Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina.

What an odd way for a man to talk. Sounds like a girl.

A “shove” is on the chest or shoulders. You can’t shove someone in the jaw.

It looked like a shove to me. It wasn’t much at least not in my Irish family. LOL!

Then you must be blind or illiterate. There’s no such thing as a shove to the face.
