No candidate likes being hounded by opposition researchers, but one member of Rand Paul’s team has a peculiar way of expressing his distaste.

At a townhall event Monday for Rand Paul in Londonderry, New Hampshire, the Kentucky senator’s political director for the state, David Chesley, licked the camera of a tracker sent by American Bridge, a left-leaning opposition research group.

The interaction was caught on camera and quickly posted to American Bridge’s YouTube account.

“Well, he’d been standing there, trying to block the camera. That’s not uncommon, though,” explained American Bridge spokesperson Ben Ray. “Licking the camera … well, that’s new to us.”
