Reports by Fox News and International Business Times state that during the break Perry "walked up to Paul's podium, physically grabbed Paul's wrist, and pointed at Paul's face with his other hand."
A third man, said to be Paul's security guard, is seen approaching the podium in the picture.
Another photo shows Perry with arms outstretched, leaning in towards Paul engaging in what may be considered lively conversation to say the least. Some Paul supporters have suggested that the shot shows that Perry physically forced Paul away from his own podium during the commercial.
