Rand Paul blames Richard Marx tweet for Anthrax scare, calls for Republicans to leave Twitter: 'I almost died'
Fox News
Republican Sen. Rand Paul told Fox News on Tuesday that a tweet posted by singer-songwriter Richard Marx could be partially responsible for the suspicious package he received at his Kentucky home a day earlier.
A package filled with unidentified white powder arrived at the lawmaker's home Monday, bearing a picture of a bruised and bandaged Paul with a gun to his head and a threat printed beneath it: "I’ll finish what your neighbor started you motherf-." The threat referenced Paul's 2017 attack where he was assaulted by his neighbor, Rene Boucher, while doing yard work. Boucher significantly injured the senator at the time, breaking five of his ribs, and eventually pleaded guilty to assaulting a member of Congress.More Related News
