Rand Paul Running for President [VIDEO]: John Rich “Shuttin’ Detroit Down” Song Pulled Due to YouTube Copyright Issue

Rand Paul may be running for President of the United States, but believe it or not, that isn't why he's making headlines. It's being reported that the video Paul used to announce his Presidency run was pulled from YouTube due to the fact that he didn't have the rights to use the song his people put in said video –– John Rich's "Shuttin' Detroit Down." Billboard notes that the use of Rich's song is the most likely reason Paul's video was pulled from the video streaming site. The publication further notes that the Senator's people are currently "looking into the problem."

Rich's record label, Warner Music Group, however, made no comment on the situation.

Aside from being in the video, Rich's song was also used as Paul's walk-on music yesterday, April 7, when he announced his Presidential run.

Of course, while there's no video, we still have the below tweet:

So, okay, Rand Paul is officially running for President. But there's no video to prove it... officially. Because of that, we urge you to (try and) enjoy Rich's original video for "Shuttin' Detroit Down" starring actor Mickey Rourke here:

Of course, just because his video was pulled doesn't mean his campaign is hurting...
