Sam Stein and Will Sommer give their takes on the report from NOTUS that Senator Rand Paul’s son  confronted Congressman Mike Lawler in a drunken late-night exchange that reportedly included anti-Semitic remarks, a rant about Thomas Massie’s Kentucky primary, and even complaints about the SALT cap. The two unpack the growing MAGA civil war surrounding Massie, the influence of figures like Tucker Carlson, and why Trumpworld appears determined to crush one of the few Republicans willing to openly defy Trump. They also dive into the bizarre allegations now hanging over Massie’s re-election campaign, including “cow money,” workplace complaints, and a last-minute political hit that could shake up the race.

Funny thing about alcohol is it doesn't insert thoughts into one's head, it just brings them to the surface, so blaming booze for your inner thoughts is hilarious.

His son grew up in a house where antisemitic and anti-gay beliefs and speech were freely shared. This ugliness doesn’t come from nothing. It’s how you’re raised.

I was in a college sorority with Kelly Ashby, Rand Paul's wife. Not at all surprised this is the son she raised.

It's not like his grandfather was in with the John Birch society or anything. Oh wait.....
