Former Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, the father of GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, appeared to suffer a medical emergency during a live interview on Friday.

Paul, 85, was speaking about the economy with The Liberty Report when he appeared to become distressed.

The interview was quickly ended.

Fox News reporter Chad Pergram said on Twitter that Paul had been hospitalized.

Paul gained a loyal following when he ran for the Republican Party’s nomination in 2012.

That nomination ultimately went to current Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, but Paul’s popularity, especially among fiscal conservatives, has never waned.
