WASHINGTON — Rand Paul has largely ignored Charles Booker this year – except for a moment when his Democratic challenger for U.S. Senate had the chance to command statewide attention.
On the night Booker sat for an interview with KET earlier this month, Paul’s campaign unleashed a scathing digital commercial. It accused Booker and his supporters of encouraging political violence.
But an underlying goal of the strategically timed attack was to divert eyeballs away from Booker’s opportunity to drive his own narrative at a forum that Paul shunned.
