Ron Paul is recovering in the hospital after suffering an apparent medical emergency while doing a live online broadcast.

The former 12-term congressman from Texas and three-time presidential candidate was in the middle of his “Ron Paul Liberty Report” live stream Friday when he suffered what appeared to be a stroke, though that has not been confirmed.

Watch the video … the 85-year-old was opining about the economy when he suddenly started slurring his speech. His co-host was clearly dismayed as Paul struggled to speak before the video cuts out.

Paul was taken to a hospital reportedly for “precautionary reasons.” Not long after the scary episode … Paul took to Twitter and told his nearly 675k followers, “I am doing fine. Thank you for your concern.”

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul — one of Ron Paul’s 5 children — later tweeted, “Thank God, Dad is doing well. Thank you for all your prayers today.
