Liberty Lego co-owner Chad Stevens, who had volunteered for Ron Paul, agreed to build a miniature campaign headquarter for Rand Paul and host him during his trip to the island. He’s Rubio’s deputy national campaign manager.

Conservative blogger Brandon Hall was at Horn’s Gaslight Bar and witnessed the incident.

“Beeson missed a full-on shot but still struck Yob’s in the face with a powerful blow near the jaw”, he wrote.

Beeson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Yob charges that the puncher in the video is Beeson, and that the altercation occurred on Mackinac Island in Michigan.

Yob also tweeted for Rubio “to fire Rich Beeson immediately”.

Sen. Rubio’s campaign told ABC News they have not spoken to Beeson yet, but “were aware of the initial reports but are seeking further information about what happened”.

“Guess I was wrong”, Sullivan said, according to the National Journal. “Cops involved”.
