Kentucky Senator Rand Paul is convinced that a tweet by singer-songwriter Richard Marx is the reason he received a suspicious package at his home on Monday, May 24th.
As Politico reported, Paul received an envelope at his home in Kentucky that contained an unidentified white powder that’s currently being examined for harmful substances. Fox News then noted that the envelope contained a photoshopped image of Paul in a neck brace, arm cast, and walking with a crutch with a note that read, “I’ll finish what your neighbor started, you motherfucker.”
The note was a reference to an infamous incident in 2017 when Paul was assaulted by his neighbor, Rene Boucher, allegedly over a dispute involving yard waste (Boucher eventually pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 30 days in prison).
While getting his ribs broken over a lawn care dispute is probably one of the more interesting and well-known tidbits in Paul’s biography, he issued a statement linking the mysterious package specifically to Marx’s tweet.
