Rand Paul’s new look provides much-needed laughter for locked-down Americans

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) grew a beard while recovering from COVID-19 coronavirus.

Paul, a graduate of the Duke University School of Medicine, has been volunteering at a local hospital after recovering from the illness.

Photos of his new look have been circulating online.

One Twitter user described his look as “professor you were warned to stay away from."

Another compared the Kentucky Republican to a professional wrestler.

One Twitter user asked people to suggest what people would think Paul does for a living by looking at the picture.

In 2018, Paul himself made fun of a fellow Republican senator's beard.
