Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul shut down a progressive writer who insisted he isn’t a real doctor by pointing to his career operating on people’s eyes.
The exchange began on the social media platform X, where progressive author John Pavlovitz challenged Paul’s medical bona fides. “You know who isn’t a doctor? Rand Paul isn’t, and RFK Jr isn’t, you stuporous dope,” Pavlovitz wrote Aug. 7. His post grew out of a thread that started with a separate user’s claim that Anthony Fauci does not deserve the title of doctor.
Paul answered directly the following day. “I’m literally an MD. I operate on eyeballs,” the senator wrote on his verified account.
