Neighbors Say Rand Paul’s Attacker Was An Avowed Socialist

Daily Caller: The man responsible for attacking Sen. Rand Paul Friday afternoon was an avowed liberal who frequently fought with his neighbors about politics, according to a report Sunday from The Washington Post.

Local citizens say Rene Boucher, the 59-year-old man who assaulted Paul, was a socialist who frequently fought with neighbors about health care policies and other liberal issues. Boucher and Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, are on the opposite end of the political spectrum, they told reporters.

Jeff Jones, a registered nurse who worked with Boucher at the Bowling Green Medical Center, described Paul’s attacker’s politics as “liberal.”

“He was active on social media and said some negative things about the Republican agenda,” Jones said of Boucher, a Bowling Green, Ky., citizen who lives in the same gated community as Paul. “I think it was unfortunate that they lived so close together.”

Boucher is a divorced socialist who is “pretty much the opposite of Rand Paul in every way,” Jim Bullington, a former member of the city commission who knows both men well, told reporters Sunday.

A Facebook account Boucher maintained before the attack contains numerous anti-Republican postings.

Boucher wrote “May Robert Mueller fry Trump’s gonads” in a May post referencing the former FBI director’s investigation into possible collusion between President Donald Trump’s campaign and Russian government.  read more

  1. Can we call him a recreational socialist? Seems nearly as wealthy as Bernie Sanders. I thought socialism was about the equal distribution of wealth. This twat dribble sounds like a 1 percenter.

  2. If Socialism is so grand and wonderful, why do the Socialists see the need to beat people who disagree with them and why do they need to force people to partake by getting laws passed that remove our God given rights?

    I think they’re either interested in power and money as one of the dear leaders or they think it’s right to force everyone else to live the way they think we should and be forced to give up our self chosen ways of life.

  3. 5 broken ribs, three displaced fractures, lung damage. Rene must have attacked him with a baseball bat, or a pipe.

    This was clearly a hate crime. Did Rene really have an antifa flag on his facebook?

  4. ..The man responsible for attacking Sen. Rand Paul Friday afternoon.. was an avowed liberal …..was a socialist …. was active on social media.

    Maybe it’s just me, but what’s up with all the – was stuff?
    Did he stop being those things?
    The evidence points to – still – Is.

  5. Haha!! I was just semi-joking around this morning and said, “I’ll bet ya he is an anesthesiologist! All those guys mainline a cocktail of Dr. Feelgood just to get going every day! You’d have to be nuts to go out and tackle your neighbor.”

  7. Nobody is keeping socialists from practicing their ideology. They are free to share their wealth with whomever they please and I do not to want to force my ideology upon them. Unfortunately it’s everyone else’s wealth they want to “share” and this needs to be pointed out to socialists everywhere.

  8. I understand this guy is retired now, but I found it hilarious that he is a proponet of socialized medicine. Talk about working against your own interests.

    Also, he needs to be charged with much more that a 4th degree misdemeanor. Something really stinks about this.
