Rand Paul’s son rants about ‘gays and Jews’ to Mike Lawler at DC bar

“This is the level of hatred and vitriol, frankly, that some of my Jewish colleagues experience, but many of my constituents [also] experience,” he said. “I’m one of the largest Jewish populations anywhere in the country, in my congressional district, and I’m not going to stop standing up for my constituents, standing up for the Judeo-Christian values that are at the core of our nation, our Constitution.”

Paul’s son, William Paul, made an X post on Wednesday, apologizing for the incident and saying that he will be “seeking help.”

“Last night, I had too much to drink and said some things that don’t represent who I really am,” William Paul said. “I’m sorry and today I am seeking help for my drinking problem.”

Lawler was reportedly meeting with a NOTUS reporter when the interaction took place.

Gorman said William Paul walked up to Lawler and told him that if Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) were to lose in the primary election next week, it would be because of “your people.”

Lawler then explained that he was not Jewish, to which William Paul apologized and said Jews are “anti-American.”

NOTUS reported that Lawler pushed back, telling the senator’s son that he was being antisemitic.

But William Paul doubled down, going on to bash Paul Singer, a GOP megadonor who is helping fund a super PAC that is funding anti-Massie ads. Singer is Jewish.

Rand Paul endorsed Massie in the midterm elections, but President Donald Trump has put his support behind a GOP challenger.

NOTUS also reported that the senator’s son told Lawler he needed to “watch more Tucker Carlson” and that Massie and his father are the only congressmen who have an interest in America.

When Lawler tried to put an end to the conversation, William Paul reportedly put his finger in the congressman’s face and told him, “Don’t put words in my mouth, Mike Lawler. I never said that.”

William Paul was previously charged with assaulting a flight attendant, but the charges were dropped. In 2015, he was involved in a car crash and later pleaded guilty to driving under the influence.
