Rep. Ilhan Omar took a subtle jab at Sen. Rand Paul on Monday, sharing a tweet that referenced him being attacked on his lawn in November 2017.

In an interview with Breitbart, the Kentucky senator offered to pay for a plane ticket for the Minnesota representative to visit Somalia so that she would "appreciate America more."

Then actor Tom Arnold took to Twitter Monday morning to mock Paul.

"Imagine being Rand Paul's next door neighbor and having to deal with @RandPaul lying cowardly circular whiney bullcrap about lawn clippings," Arnold tweeted Monday morning. "No wonder he ripped his toupee off."

The tweet, which Omar subsequently retweeted, referenced one of Paul's neighbors, Rene Boucher, assaulting the senator while he was mowing his lawn in 2017. The incident resulted in Paul suffering several broken ribs.

1. It was well deserved

2. Phony tough republicans, every one.

Tough talk from little whimps.

5. Most bullies are like that.

3. Deserved...definitely. Called for...no.

Lauding a violent act is wrong, even if deserved. I am a bit surprised. Tom Arnold can pretty much say whatever he likes, but it seems odd that a public official subjected to so much violent rhetoric of late would retweet something like this. We are better than they. Not criticizing anyone, that's just my stance. Not telling anyone to avoid fighting back...just remember who we are.

4. I agree.

[Raine]

8. Definitely agree nt

[Polybius]

12. Plus pointing out a toupee is in extremely bad taste and a low-blow

Those who get them obviously are very sensitive over their hair loss.

6. Does he wear a toupee?

I can't tell.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

7. Hard to tell. The rat's nest obscures the view.

9. If he does he's gotta be pissed that he was outed. If he doesn't, he's gotta be pissed

that now people think he wears a toupee. Either way is great with me! He deserves it!

10. People furtively sneaking glances at his hairline

....while talking to him.

13. They look more like hair plugs. n/m
