On Thursday Rene Boucher pleaded not guilty to assault on the US senator.
The man who allegedly assaulted GOP Sen. Rand Paul outside his Kentucky residence pleaded not guilty Thursday to misdemeanor assault in the fourth degree at his arraignment in Bowling Green.
Rene Boucher allegedly tackled Paul, breaking six of his ribs and sustaining bruised lungs. There was no change to the charges and no change in bond.
The attorney representing Boucher said Monday that attacking the Kentucky Republican had “absolutely nothing” to do with politics.
Christopher Cantwell if you ever heard of him (if not, he is a major alt-right activist) is now facing 60 freaking years in prison for pepper spraying someone in self defense during the Charlottesville rally. Cantwell has also been denied bail.
Rene Boucher is facing a maximum 1 year in prison or he may not serve any time at all if he simply pays his bail, for beating a US senator…
Also, no one from the left has been arrested for temporarily blinding Baked Alaska in an acid attack at the same Charlottesville rally.
