About

Rand Paul Beard refers to jokes about Kentucky Senator Rand Paul's newly-grown beard, ostensibly grown in quarantine during the Coronavirus. Jokes often centered on applying various incorrect identities to Paul's new look, a la the What Does It Look Like I Do For A Living? meme.

Origin

On April 13th, 2020, Rand Paul appeared on the Fox News program Fox and Friends,[1] sporting a beard (shown below). Paul was on the program to discuss his volunteer work at hospitals after recovering from COVID-19.
