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
Yes, but how well did he get along with his MIL?
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.
Aaaaaaaannnd I’m guessing he still is!
Did he use to be a guy? Just asking, ’cause his name his “rene”
Apparently he just fried his own gonads. The better half of Americans now hate him.
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.

Or they’re just idiots.
Oh, nooooooo! You mean this man was not a Christian, Capitalist Conservative? Stunning.
So easy to be a socialist when you don’t have to live like average people who live under socialism. I hope Rand Paul sues this guy for everything he has.
These personal defects are nothing that several rounds of caning and electroshock therapy can’t fix.
Are they going to upgrade the charges on this idiot whose first name rhymes with his last? Senator Paul does not have minor injuries.
Drop him off over Venezuela without a parachute.
Pull his medical license.
Doubtful he can control his bias with conservative patients.
“The man responsible for attacking Sen. Rand Paul Friday ….”
What a namely-pamby passively written sentence. He was NOT responsible for the attack, he committed the attack.
Truff: Doubtful he can survive long without prescribing his pain meds to himself either.
I’m shocked!
Shocked, I tells ya!
A stinking socialist resorting to violence?
Who ever heard of such a thing?
izlamo delenda est …
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?
..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.
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.”
Read ITS healthgrades listing (LOL) – as Fur always sez: YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO–https://www.healthgrades.com/physician/dr-rene-boucher-2nwcb?referrerSource=autosuggest
Broken ribs are not even fun.
I call Toxic Socialism!
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.
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.
Boucher loves Occupy on his facebook, can Antifa be far behind?
If I were a dead ringer for Alfred E Newman I’d be an asshole too.
Our public school system has salted the entire country with throngs of these idiots.
Ginger twat; way to pay attention to your surroundings, Paul…this asshole should be dead by your hand. Or you could just cuck as usual.
I’m disappointed. Not even one “What’s your excuse now”
I’m sure he’ll be pleased when his prison husband decides to share him with everyone else on an equal basis.
Renee Bitcher.
He’s going to be socializing his cornhole in the slammer.
