Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has had a rough first day running for President.

Only a few hours after being duped into retweeting an image of Auorora theatre shooter James Holmes, Team Rand faced ridicule on social media for providing supporters with a custom avatar, "JEW for Rand."

The image was one of many provided by Paul's new website, but it rubbed many online the wrong way and gave way to a flood of jokes and complaints.

The episode came a few months after Paul caught flak for saying that "American Jewry" would likely turn Republican, after the senator met with GOP mega-donor Sheldon Adelson.

They say a candidates presidential launch day is supposed to be attention grabbing. It's their first shot to get their brand out there and garner some free press. I guess someone forgot to tell his team it's supposed to be positive press?
