WATCH: Rand Paul Describes ‘Living Hell’ After Being Attacked By Democrat Neighbor

Appearing on CBS’s “Face The Nation” with host John Dickerson on Sunday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) described his painful recovery from the attack by his Democratic neighbor as a “living hell.” Law enforcement officials arrested and charged Paul’s neighbor, Rene Boucher, for the attack in which he allegedly ran up and tackled Paul from behind.

“It was sort of, I guess, a living hell for the first four or five weeks,” Paul said. “Couldn’t get out of bed without assistance. Six broken ribs, damage to my lungs. Two bouts of pneumonia. It was really a tough go of it, but each day I feel a little bit better. This last month, I’ve been doing better.”
