Rand Paul's wife says she keeps loaded gun by her bed out of fear of Liberal attacks (Not The Onion)

[Siwsan]

The wife of Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky said Friday she had upgraded her home’s security system and even sleeps with a loaded gun by her bed as she fears violence by liberals in today’s exceedingly contentious political climate.

Kelley Paul described how she had set up several extra security measures to make sure she would be safe even if someone broke into her home while she was there.

“We’ve updated all of our security systems at home. I sleep with a loaded gun by my bed. I’m home alone a lot, obviously when Rand is [in Washington], and so I’ve got deadbolts all around my house so that if someone’s in my house when I go to bed I’m deadbolted in three different levels,” Paul told Breitbart for an interview published Monday.

She also commented about the recent rash of protestors heckling prominent politicians at restaurants in Washington. The most recent example was Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and his wife last month as protestors forced the couple to leave a restaurant after chants against Cruz’s support of now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

“It’s bizarre. I’ve never been like this in my whole life…” Paul said. “We used to never even lock our doors, and now that has all changed. Even going out to dinner in D.C., last night, you worry. You hope that people aren’t going to come up and just start screaming at you.”

1. ---must be a female Republican thing. Didn't Nancy Reagan sleep with a cute, little Derringer under

her pillow - until they took it away from her?

2. Rand better not be prone to sleepwalking or midnight snacking.

3. I wonder if she uses Ambien

And I won't waste a single brain cell worrying about the potential for that situation.

4. "Terrible thing to live in fear. Brooks Hatlen knew it. Knew it all too well.":

5. I fear blood sucking neo cons so I sleep with garlic by my bed.

The up/down side is I dream about Italian food, a whole lot.

6. Send this to her

7. She's probably waiting for her chance...

...to shoot her sorry husband and then blame it on liberals.

8. Sucks to be her.

10. Wonder how she imagines a "libril" attack would look?

A whole gang or just one person?

Now they know that she is armed perhaps they will just chuck some bombs through the window?

The Onion has been deprived of a headline with this revelation.

11. She's Lying

Or mentally ill, as in psychotic paranoia
Either is equally plausible

12. That's the first person I've heard refer to Rand Paul as a "liberal."

13. Stop having your husband pissing off his neighbors

Would be a first step. However, all that Russian money he owes Putins bag men. Doubt your little gun, in your gated community will do any damn good.

14. It sounds like she is sick of his shit too, and setting up the premise for an SYG accident defense.

[DavidDvorkin]

16. That's a tragic accident in the making

I have my crocodile tears ready.
