For the second year in a row, a candidate for U.S. Senate has apologized in the aftermath of the Fancy Farm Picnic, the traditional start of the fall campaigning season in Kentucky.

This year, it was Rand Paul, the Republican nominee, who said in a national radio interview that he worried someone in the raucous crowd would throw beer at him on the stage last Saturday.

The suggestion that people at the event would throw something other than political insults didn’t sit well with some at St. Jerome Catholic Church, which hosts the political speaking as part of its annual picnic.

“I was kind of taken aback, really,” said Mark Wilson, who with his wife Lori heads the committee in charge of the speeches. “We could’ve done without them comments.”
