Can you link to a long list of politicians who suggested it was male prostitution?
Can you link to national news stories pushing one (false) narrative while PLAYING THE CONTRADICTORY VIDEO?
Can you explain how a politically motivated stranger breaking into your house with a weapon because you are married to a politican is the same as an ongoing dispute between neighbors that crossed the line into violence?
I don't disagree with you - the Rand Paul attack was brutal and people mocking him is ahole behavior. Nevertheless I am not sure the two situations are exaatcly comparable. And a few jerks being mean is not the same as freaking Fox News - or any other national broadcast corp - trying to frame the victime despite clear contradictory evidence.
Both crappy but not the same.
