Sen. Rand Paul has denounced threats to him and his family after a suspicious package containing white powder was delivered to his home on Monday.

โ€œI take these threats immensely seriously. As a repeated target of violence, it is reprehensible that Twitter allows C-list celebrities to encourage violence against me and my family,โ€ Paul said in a statement, citing a Politico article.

A senior adviser in Paulโ€™s office told Politico that the senator received a large envelope containing the unknown substance that is currently being examined by the FBI and Capitol Hill police for harmful substances. The sender of the envelope is not yet known.

Over the weekend, Richard Marx, a singer and songwriter, took to Twitter to celebrate the actions of Paulโ€™s neighbor, Rene Boucher, who assaulted the senator in 2017. The attack, which occurred when the senator was doing yard work, left Paul with six broken ribs and other injuries. Boucher pleaded guilty to the assault.

โ€œIโ€™ll say it again: If I ever meet Rand Paulโ€™s neighbor, Iโ€™m going to hug him and buy him as many drinks as he can consume,โ€ Marx wrote in a statement on Sunday.

Fox News on Monday also reported that Paul had received an image threatening violence on the envelope with suspicious powder. According to the news broadcaster, the envelope had a doctored picture of a bruised and bandaged Paul with a gun pointed at his head. Below the picture was a threat allegedly stating: โ€œIโ€™ll finish what your neighbor started you [expletive].โ€

Paulโ€™s office and the FBI did not immediately respond to a request from The Epoch Times for comment.

In a separate statement, Paul said: โ€œI have been targeted multiple times now, it is reprehensible that Twitter allows C-list celebrities to advocate for violence against me and my family!โ€
