Senator Paul's neighbors contradict media narrative about 'landscaping dispute'

Rick Moran   "The unprovoked attack on Senator Rand Paul at his Kentucky home last week was not politically motivated, according to the current media narrative.  Instead, the perpetrator, Rene Boucher, went after the senator because of a "landscaping dispute."
A feud that allegedly resulted in Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) being assaulted at his home last weekend started due to a dispute over landscaping, The New York Times reported.
Paul and his longtime next-door neighbor had disagreements over yard care, according to the newspaper, which cited neighbors and three Kentucky Republicans familiar with the issue.
Paul was reportedly mowing his lawn and wearing ear plugs when he was attacked.
"Rand never saw him coming or heard him coming," . . .
 "The stories of a 'landscaping dispute' or a dispute of any sort between Rand Paul and Rene Boucher are erroneous and unfounded. The reason for Mr. Boucher's bizarre attack is known only to him. Statements to the contrary are irresponsible and unnecessary," said neighbor Travis Creed.

"That leaves a mental breakdown by Boucher or a political motivation for the attack.  The fact that Boucher was a huge fan of Bernie Sanders and expressed a virulent hatred for Donald Trump is a far more probable motivation for his assault than any nonexistent "landscaping dispute."
"But the media are desperate to absolve Democrats and their rhetoric of inspiring such attacks on Republicans.  As the number of unhinged attacks on Republicans continues to climb, Democrats don't want to lose their ability to wildly exaggerate and lie about Donald Trump and Republicans.
"It certainly motivated a lot of Democrats to go to the polls on Tuesday."
