On the day Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) announced his run for President, his official Twitter account retweeted a photoshopped image of Aurora theater shooter James Holmes declaring that he will "Stand With Rand."

Just minutes before Paul took the stage on Tuesday in Louisville, Ky., Paul's account hyped his announcement on social media by rapidly retweeting people claiming to be supporters of the 2016 hopeful.

Among them, was at least one imposter.

The user @firescotch, using the hashtag #StandWithRand, sent in a photoshopped image of Holmes, the the accused killer of 12 people in Aurora, Colo. in 2012.

1. Two announced GOP candidates. Two idiots. Next up: idiot number three.

The only question is, which of the pool of idiots will be the next to announce?

5. Fake senator, fake doctor, fake candidate, fake picture.

I suspect that "Rand" Paul is just Photoshopped.

6. Please...

If someone would have built Rand in Photoshop, he would have left the head and feet on the dead animal he stuck on the poor boy's head.
