Former congressman and famed leader of the Libertarian movement Ron Paul was rushed to the hospital on Friday afternoon after appearing to suffer a stroke during a live virtual appearance.
During the live-streamed “Ron Paul Liberty Report” on his YouTube channel, the 85-year-old suddenly appeared to experience speech alterations common when one suffers a stroke.
The video has been removed since the incident and Paul was reportedly immediately hospitalized for “precautionary” reasons.
Fox News reporter Chad Pergram tweeted soon after: “Colleague Lee Ross rpts fmr GOP TX Rep & GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul is hospitalized for ‘precautionary’ reasons.”
Kelley Paul, wife Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), later tweeted a photo of the senior Paul on Friday afternoon smiling and giving the thumbs-up gesture in a hospital bed.
