Former representative Ron Paul appeared to suffer a stroke on Friday during a live taping of his show The Liberty Report.
Paul’s medical condition has not yet been confirmed. However, a video clip from the taping showed Paul, who was interviewing a guest via Zoom, suddenly begin speaking in slurred speech. Paul has been admitted to a Texas hospital for “precautionary reasons,” Fox News reported.
The 85-year-old former Texas congressman is a longtime fixture of libertarian politics. Paul has run on both Libertarian and Republican party tickets, and was first elected in 1979.
In 2010 Paul became the first U.S. congressman in history to serve alongside their child, when son Rand Paul was elected as representative for Kentucky. Rand Paul is now the junior senator for Kentucky and has supported various libertarian policies advocated by his father.
This is a developing story.
