MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt Calls Assault on Rand Paul ‘One of My Favorite Stories’
HUNT: “New details today on the incident that left Senator Rand Paul with six broken ribs. This might be one of my favorite stories although we don’t — while clearly Senator Paul is still struggling, Paul’s neighbor Rene Boucher is accused of beating the senator and ‘GQ’ reports that lawn care issues may well have been at the heart of the dispute. A neighbor told the magazine that Boucher pays about $150 a month for professional landscaping while Paul maintains his yard himself. I guess that’s the libertarian in him. The neighbor also said that part of what bothered Boucher was the difference in grass length between his lawn and that of Senator Paul’s and that Paul sprayed grass clippings onto his yard while mowing his own grass. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the reason for the first assault on a sitting U.S. Senator in decades.”
