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

Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) son reportedly went on a drunken tirade to Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) about “gays and Jews,” blaming the marginalized groups for various events and mistaking Lawler for being Jewish.

Lawler recounted the Tuesday evening situation to the Washington Examiner and said the senator’s son gave him the “middle finger and then tripped” while he was “clearly inebriated” at a bar in Washington.

Lawler said the situation speaks to a bigger problem of how the Jewish population is treated.

“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.”
