FBI is investigating a suspicious package sent to Rand Paul's home in Kentucky on Monday.

The suspicious package contained a white powder and a death threat. 

A picture of Paul bruised and bandaged with a gun to his head was affixed to the outside of the envelope with a threat, “I’ll finish what your neighbor started you motherf***er,” Fox News reported.

In 2019, Paul was badly injured after he was attacked by his neighbor, Rene Boucher while doing yard work. The incident left Paul with five broken ribs.

“I take these threats immensely seriously,” Paul made a statement via Twitter on Tuesday.

“I have been targeted multiple times now, it is reprehensible that Twitter allows C-list celebrities to advocated for violence against me and my family. This must stop.”

“Just this weekend Richard Marx called for violence against me and now we receive this despicable powder-filled letter,” Paul wrote. 

Richard Marx, a singer, had written on Twitter that he would hug Paul's neighbor and buy him as many drinks that he could consume if he ever met him.
