Rand Paul's son banned from bar after antisemitic and homophobic rant

The Capitol Hill bar where Sen. Rand Paul's son unleashed a drunken antisemitic and homophobic tirade at a Republican congressman has issued a blunt statement making clear William Paul is no longer welcome — ever.

"That person had his last drink at the Tune that night," the Tune Inn declared in a morning-after statement, referring to the incident that erupted Tuesday when Paul confronted Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) at the popular DC watering hole.

The bar left no ambiguity about where it stands. "The Tune Inn does not tolerate or condone any of the words, behaviors, or thoughts that were used," the statement read. "Our bar is a safe space for EVERYONE."

The incident, first reported by NOTUS, sent shockwaves through Capitol Hill after Lawler recounted how Paul — son of the Kentucky senator and Homeland Security Committee chairman — drunkenly inserted himself into a nearby conversation before launching into a hate-filled screed.

"So Rand Paul's f—ing son is sitting next to us at the bar … And he just like chimes in on our conversation, f—ing drunk and belligerent," Lawler told the New York Post.

Paul reportedly assumed Lawler was Jewish and claimed that if Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) lost his primary, it was because of "my people" — meaning Jews. When Lawler told him he was Irish-Italian Catholic, Paul barely missed a beat.

"This war, it's all about the gays and the Jews, and I hate them both, and I don't care if they die," Paul said, according to Lawler.

Paul also accused GOP megadonor Paul Singer of doing "Israel's bidding," before knocking over a barstool and stumbling out of the establishment.

The 33-year-old issued a mea culpa on X the following day. "Last night, 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 wrote.

It wasn't his first brush with alcohol-fueled trouble. Paul pleaded guilty to DUI in 2015 after smashing his truck into a parked car and was arrested in 2013 for allegedly assaulting a flight attendant and consuming alcohol underage on a flight to Charlotte, North Carolina.

Rand Paul's office did not respond to requests for comment.
