A stunning piece of video has emerged on Friday, depicting libertarian stalwart and former presidential candidate Ron Paul seemingly suffering a stroke live on the air.
In the middle of speaking, the 85-year-old Libertarian icon appears to begin slurring his speech in the troubling clip.
Hundreds of thousands of viewers tune in for every episode of the former presidential candidate’s web series.
Just moments after the medical emergency, Twitter was flooded with prayers for Paul.
There has been no official confirmation of what kind of medical emergency Paul suffered from yet.
We must warn you that the video you are about to see may be disturbing:
This story is still developing, and no further information has been made available at this time.
Paul’s candidacy back in 2008 sparked a libertarian uprising within the Republican party, fomenting the movement that would later come to be known as The Tea Party.
The longtime freedom advocate is in our prayers.
