Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., blasted Sen. Rand Paul’s, R-Ky., son on Wednesday after the New York congressman said he hurled antisemitic insults at him as Lawler met with a reporter Tuesday evening.

William Paul drunkenly insulted Lawler while the congressman met with a NOTUS reporter at a Capitol Hill bar and restaurant Tuesday, NOTUS reported.

William Paul specifically confronted Lawler about Kentucky’s primary election and Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., a top GOP critic of President Donald Trump who is running against Trump-backed candidate Ed Gallrein.
