华盛顿——来自纽约州的共和党众议员迈克·劳勒表示，他在一家酒吧被共和党参议员兰德·保罗“醉酒”的儿子上前搭话，对方对他发表了反犹言论。
劳勒称，周二晚间他和一名朋友以及率先报道此次对峙事件的新闻机构NOTUS的一名记者在华盛顿特区的图恩酒吧用餐时，威廉·保罗上前搭话。
“保罗突然插话，开始指责我，如果托马斯·马西落选，那是因为‘我的人’，”劳勒在周三回忆道，他指的是一位面临特朗普支持的挑战者激烈初选对决的肯塔基州共和党议员。兰德·保罗和他的儿子同样来自肯塔基州。
劳勒说他反问保罗：“‘我的人’指的是谁？”
“然后他大喊‘犹太人’，”劳勒告诉记者。“我问他，‘你觉得我是犹太人？’他回答‘是的’。”
劳勒表示他告诉保罗自己并非犹太人，保罗回应道：“哦，很抱歉冤枉了你。”
这位国会议员称，保罗随后展开了“长达10分钟的长篇大论，谈论以色列、犹太人、保罗·辛格，并指责犹太人对诸多事件负责，完全迎合了许多人惯用的典型反犹陈词滥调”。据劳勒透露，保罗还称自己“憎恨犹太人、憎恨同性恋者，不在乎他们是否会死”。
劳勒说，对峙很快就结束了，保罗对着他竖起中指，随后在出门时绊倒了。
劳勒表示，他此前从未与这位共和党参议员有过交谈，也从未见过他的儿子。
周三晚些时候被问及此事时，这位参议员告诉记者：“我对此无可奉告。”当被问及是否会联系劳勒时，他未作回应。
威廉·保罗在X平台上发布帖子，向这位国会议员道歉。
“我喝得太多了，说了一些并非真实的我会说的话。我很抱歉，今天我正在为自己的酗酒问题寻求帮助，”他说道。

Sen. Rand Paul’s son confronted Rep. Mike Lawler in drunken, antisemitic rant

Washington — Republican Rep. Mike Lawler of New York said he was approached at a bar by GOP Sen. Rand Paul’s “inebriated” son, who made antisemitic comments toward him.
Lawler said he was at the Tune Inn in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday night having dinner with a friend and a reporter for the news outlet NOTUS, who first reported the interaction, when he was approached by William Paul.
“Paul decided to interject into the conversation and start accosting me about if Thomas Massie loses, it’s because of my people,” Lawler recounted Wednesday, referring to a Kentucky Republican who is in a tight primary against a Trump-backed challenger. Rand Paul and his son are also from Kentucky.
Lawler said he asked Paul, “Who is ‘my people’?”
“And he yelled out, ‘Jews,’” Lawler told reporters. “And I asked him, ‘You think I’m Jewish?’ And he said, ‘Yes.’”
Lawler said he told Paul he was not Jewish and that Paul responded, “Oh, I’m sorry to accuse you of that.”
The congressman said Paul then went on a “10-minute diatribe about Israel, about Jews, about Paul Singer and accusing Jews of being responsible for so many things, playing right into the typical antisemitic tropes that so many people rely on.” Paul also said he “hates Jews, hates gays and doesn’t care if they die,” according to Lawler.
Lawler said the interaction ended shortly afterward and Paul gave him the middle finger before tripping on his way out of the door.
Lawler said he had not spoken to the GOP senator and had never met his son before.
When asked about the story later Wednesday, the senator told reporters, “I don’t have anything for you on that.” He did not respond when asked if he would reach out to Lawler.
In a post on X, William Paul apologized to the congressman.
“I had too much to drink and said some things that don’t represent who I really am. I’m sorry and today I am seeking help for my drinking problem,” he said.
