Normally we at this site aren’t real fans of simply gratuitous prank or meaningless “-You’s.” Not that we’re not above dropping the occasional bomb, we just enjoy having a very good reason to do so. But if anyone, anywhere, not named Trump, deserved to get punked this week by a surprise prank and a surprise message, well, Rand Paul would be right up there with “Kevin” and “Gym.”

One might be safe in delivering the same message to Rand Paul on any given day during any given year. But this was the week in which Rand Paul, the man who failed to be Board Certified in Ophthalmology and the man who got in a fight with his neighbor, got called out by Dr. Fauci for “Not knowing what he was talking about” as Fauci continued to play the role of the villain in the disease that has killed 600,000 Americans.

Paul got an early start demonizing Dr. Fauci, which is ironic since Paul is one of those Republican Senators that got COVID (We cannot name a Democratic Senator that got it, perhaps one did). But it went to a new level this last week. Thus it was that on Saturday, during a Kentucky Town Hall, which took phone calls, a caller let Paul know that his approach wasn’t appreciated by all. From the Independent:

Mr Paul was taking questions from constituents during the event. The aide hosting the event unsuspectingly queued up the rude prank, saying “We’ll go ahead to our next question now. Mrs Alexis Toon, you are live with the senator”.

The prank caller went on to say “Hi senator, I am a proud Kentucky citizen and I just wanted to tell you to get f***ed”.

Mr Paul and his aide looked shocked and paused for a moment, before moving on.

Well, at least Paul didn’t get up while asking where the man lived. Perhaps he was next door?

You know, these TikTok pranksters are really out of control. Rand Paul is a United States Senator! Does he really deserve this kind of disrespect? pic.twitter.com/1HvVmiFsrX
