It appears that former Texas Congressman and longtime Libertarian icon Dr. Ron Paul just had a stroke – or some other type of serious medical issue – during a live stream of his “Liberty Report” web series, which garners hundreds of thousands of viewers with every episode.
A flood of tweets wishing Paul well followed the emergence of the footage above on social media.
Please pray for Ron Paul. It appears a medical issue may have just happened during his show.

We have yet to receive any kind of confirmation about the Congressman’s status from the Paul camp. Notably, his son, Rand Paul, is currently serving as the junior Senator from Kentucky.
After the popularity of his 2008 presidential bid, Paul announced in July 2011 that he would forgo seeking another term in Congress to focus on his 2012 bid for the presidency. After performing strongly once again, Paul refused to endorse the Republican nominations of John McCain and Mitt Romney during their respective 2008 and 2012 campaigns, and on May 14, 2012, Paul announced that he would not be competing in any other presidential primaries but that he would still compete for delegates in states where the primary elections had already been held.
Paul’s fervid supporters helped him achieve the second highest tallies for delegates during both the 2008 and 2012 Republican National Conventions, behind only McCain and Romney respectively. In January 2013, Paul retired from Congress, though he continued to speak at colleges and work on his “Liberty Report” program.

Dear 2020: Eat a giant bag of dicks and choke on ’em..
Lots of love to the Paul family.
I have been a fan of Dr. Ron Paul since the early 80s – a true Statesman, God Belss you Dr. Paul.
My heartfelt best wishes to Ron Paul and his family. He’s one of the good ones.
Incredible human being. That’s how quickly bad things can happen to fragile bodies. Prayers that recovery is speedy in whatever form it comes.
Grace and peace to the Paul family.
If Ron Paul dies, Trump will be overjoyed, as Ron Paul is a freedom lover, Donald Trump is a totalitarianist.
Examples NPC troll…
Don’t let Hate rule you.
Blow Lincoln the fuck off of Mt. Rushmore and make some room.
I will second that. Lincoln doesn’t deserve it. Or the 5 dollar bill. Or that gigantic monument in D.C. None of it.
Lincoln does deserve the $5 bill because dollars like the rest of the trash in the world are unbacked bankster diarrhea just like the greenbacks made during his term to fund the murder of Americans. So of all the presidents on the federal reserve notes he deserves it the most.
ron paul would deserve to be on the double eagle of a restored constitutional coinage.
I sincerely hope what ever happened(stroke?) will not have any lasting effects. Dr. Paul is a bastion of truth.
In this day and age with so many NPC PC zombies shouting you down for speaking against their ‘beliefs’ and not conforming(masks anyone?) to the herd we need hero’s to rise. What is a hero? In my book it’s those who speak truth and do what they know to be right regardless of the consequences.
he’s in the hospital,described as lucid/optimistic–not much more in the link but it’s there 4 people who want to read it–

How horrible! Speedy recovery to you, sir.
Sad, I hope he is doing better. I like Ron Paul (Doctor No) he sure ran lousy campaigns for office. his son also. Maybe the same campaign team.
Didja forget all the deep state resistance Dr. Paul got? When in Wash. State my daughter worked for his campaign. The fake Repubs cheated, lied…all kinds of junk. She was there & saw a lot of stuff that went on against Ron.
When he was running I supported Dr. Paul by going to sites & talking him up. I am low income, so that is all I could do.

Early intervention (and it would be very quick) with streptokinase or similar, can take care of a clot that might cause a stroke. Thank goodness he is doing ok. You can’t write a book called “The Revolution” and not stick around to see it happen.
Ron Paul was robbed of his nomination both times again McCain and Romney. I voted for him in the primaries both times. I haven’t voted since then. What’s the point?
Look around ya. Check out the Harris-Biden ticket. Do some research on their platforms, blm & antifa. They both support that junk. Maybe then a ‘point’ will form.
SamFox
prayers for a speedy and complete recovery. ron paul is one of the greatest statesmen of the modern age.
