In Kentucky, a volunteer for Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul has been charged with misdemeanor assault after he was videotaped stomping on the head of a woman outside last week’s Senate debate. Tim Profitt was the coordinator for Paul’s campaign in central Kentucky. The victim of the attack was Lauren Valle of the group MoveOn.org. She suffered a concussion and multiple sprains from the assault. Lauren Valle appeared last week on Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

Lauren Valle: “And at that point, they pursued me around the car, chased me around the car, and what you see in the video is when I’m in the front of the car. And that`s when I’m pulled down. And then my head is stomped on.”

Keith Olbermann: “So, you were not mistaken for some sort of threat to Mr. Paul’s safety? Before the tape rolls, they know who you are and what you’re trying to do?”

Lauren Valle: “Yeah, it was premeditated. My partner Alex, who was with me, heard them behind us say, ’We’re here to do crowd control, and some — we might have to take someone out.’”
