Ron Paul hospitalized after he appears to suffer stroke during livestream, says hes doing fine

Ron Paul, a former Texas congressman, presidential candidate and the father of Sen. Rand Paul, suffered an apparent stroke-like illness in the middle of a livestream Friday afternoon.

Paul, 85, who was livestreaming his weekday “Liberty Report” broadcast on YouTube, has been hospitalized for “precautionary” reasons, Fox News reported.

“Message from Ron Paul: “I am doing fine. Thank you for your concern,” he tweeted just before 3 p.m. — alongside a photo of him in a hospital bed, smiling and giving a thumbs up.

A clip of the disturbing medical episode was first tweeted out by the outlet Intelwave.

The live episode may have been a blessing in disguise, the outlet added in a subsequent tweet.
