WATCH: Rand Paul’s Son Arrested Again For Being Drunk - And Driving This Time (VIDEO)

The party of family values. Ah, yes.

Last weekend, conservative - libertarian Presidential candidate Rand Paul’s son William was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. In addition to that charge, Paul was cited for not being insured on the vehicle, and not having a driver’s license. Charges any libertarian can be proud of.

William Paul was found after allegedly colliding with a parked car, and with injuries to his face. His demeanor was described as belligerent (I picture the young Paul threatening badges, telling them “who he is” and espousing cliches of liberty and freedom), which seems to be par for his course when arrested. He did refuse the breathalyzer test for alcohol, but was cited anyway. Most states carry stiffer and more mandatory penalties for those convicted after refusing tests. But some “freedom-loving libertarians” and their attorneys actually recommend this tactic in order to use the lack of hard evidence to beat the charge.

This is not Paul’s first collision with the law in the realm of drunken and/or belligerent behavior. The eldest son of the presidential had been cited for possession of alcohol as a minor at a race at Keeneland in 2013. In January of that same year,William Paul was charged with simple assault of a flight attendant at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. He was also charged with being intoxicated and disruptive conduct after his flight landed.

Those charges were dropped after he completed a diversion program.

  • heartlikeawheel

    He didn’t act out in private so why should he be afforded that privilege?

  • Jim Ferringer

    Daddy will get his record clean for him…..

  • David William Rutledge

    I wonder what the right might have said had Chelsea Clinton ever exhibited such behavior. I will only say that the idiocy of the son should not necessarily reflect on the father. He has enough idiocy without filial contributions.

  • Sargeant Hazard

    It’s stupid to make political hay out of this. It’s always wrong no matter what party the kids parent is affiliated with. He may need help- hope he gets it, his welfare is the only thing relevant here-not his pop’s propensity for the white house.

    • anoynamouse

      Yes but see politicians judge everyone 24/7…they ARE our moral compass. They are perfect on stage with their family practicing their wave (aka Ted Cruise) so it’s only fitting to see that Pauls’ son makes him unfit to lead a parade let alone a country.

      • Sherry Gillespie

        If they are our moral compass, we have been amoral for quite some time. Wait till he gets off without paying for the crime in nothing but dollars. Then be pissed off.

        • FastMovingCloud

          If he even pays in dollars.

    • Jim Summers

      While I agree we don’t need to judge the father by the son, we also need to acknowledge that if a black 20 year old had done this, he would be behind bars now. If the father acts to remove consequences from the son, THAT is something to make political hay out of.

        race has no place in this story liberal moron….move on to something else. You related to Al Sharpton?

        • jeani

          Mike in GA, If it were you, your behind would be arrested and put in the drunk tank.

            Mike in Georgia, the point about race is relevant here when young black men are being killed for similar transgressions, you conservative a-hole.

          • pennyjane

            read more…..you can’t use logic on a bigot….bigotry damages the brain’s ability to think rationally. poor mike is a victim of his own willingness to be a sorry excuse for a human being.

        • FastMovingCloud

          You related to Rush Limbaugh?

        • navybrathacked

          Mike, race has a place in every police action these days since we’ve learned that racism in law enforcement isn’t as isolated as we believed. IF the young man had been black and IF he had been belligerent and obnoxious, you can bet it would have had a much worse outcome. MOST cops are decent, dedicated and tolerant, but don’t be naive or choose to be ignorant.

      • Kathy English

        He’d be behind bars, if they didn’t shoot him.

    • Joel Hughes

      Give me a break, If this had been Chelsea it would have been a field day for the GOP. I also hope he gets the treatment he needs and wish him the best but don’t disguise one way or the other.

      • pennyjane

        my God….contrasting chelsea clinton with any of these entitled little right wing brats is apples and oranges. chelsea, the daughter of the second most hated man on the left, is a moral and intellectual giant among any of these high and mighty right wingers. if the impossible were to happen and chelsea were to get herself into this kind of thing faux noise would cite it as proof the bill is the anti-Christ and Hillary isn’t capable of raising children, much less running a nation. and the fundies would be announcing the rapture and the second coming. that’s not hyperbole, that’s a fact based on actual history.

    • relevart

      did somebody say ‘help’ and ‘welfare’?

      • FastMovingCloud

        I didn’t know conservatives were allowed to say those words unless they were deriding the poors.

    • navybrathacked

      Really?? How about the right and their nasty attacks on Chelsea Clinton for her looks?? He was raised by the guy running for President, I think a son who repeats the same bad behavior has some entitlement complex and that comes from the home. Not sure I want that guy in the WH. A kid who does something dumb and learns from it, gets some attitude adjustment from dad and apologizes, etc. has a parent I will listen to.

    • Robin VZ

      I worry more about the welfare of those sharing the same road. He needs a reality check. Maybe some community service in a nursing home?

  • Mark Sullivan

    Not remotely supportive of Rand the candidate, or even Rand the person-but Rand the dad deserves a bit if slack, and this story, a bit more context.
    One wonders how the author, Sean Connors (whose journalistic technique seemingly starts with an answer and builds back to the question) might feel if some day (please God) one of his kids gets mixed up with the law and gets his name in the paper…
    The “sins of the father” thing is a two-way street.

    • pennyjane

      and would you say the same if it were chelsea? oh, that’s right….chelsea was raised by a couple of immoral libtards, taught not to act like an entitled, spoiled brat. youbetcha, this isn’t the “sins of the father”, this is the sins of the obnoxious, spoiled rotten, entitled little brat raised by that father who holds himself up as an example of high morality, integrity, intelligence for us all, so much so that he wants us to elect him president of the united states…..sorry, buddy, but this is a very bad reflection on him rather you like it or not.

  • indoboy7

    William Paul can easily BEAT ALL CHARGES, claiming the shallow gene pool he comes from as reasons for his insane behaviors.*****I am surpprised he was not quoted as promising dire (future) retribution to the arresting officer(s)…”when MY DADDY becomes President…!!”…

    • Kathy English

      He can be First Drunk (anyone else remembering Billy Carter?)

      • FastMovingCloud

        I remember Billy Carter (and Billy Beer) but this dude isn’t going to be First Anything because his daddy will NEVER be president.

        • Kathy English

          No, he’s not.

  • d eaves

    I am not pure. I screwed up and got a DUI 20 years ago ( at 35). This is no reason to hold my Parents responsible. I, not they, was the one that drank too much. Same thing here. This young man needs help, not ridicule from the political hacks who disagree with his Dad. FYI Voted Obama and 30 year IBEW member so not some right wing nut that is saying “LAY OFF THE KID!!!’

    • jeani

      The kid is 22yrs and apparently he believes he is above the law. This is not his first rodeo with the law.

    • Lucky Jackson

      First time was a flight attendant, 2nd time parked car, This is not a kid mistake (22 years old) anymore.

    • Kathy English

      It’s true, yet the politicians drag their families and their family values in, so it’s all up for grabs.

    • Kathryn Smith

      You said you got “a” DUI…this kid has had priors. You were 35, this kid is not. He is not even licensed or insured but is in all likelyhood driving mom or dad’s car. Yes it is the parents responsibility…why is the punk driving without a license or insurance? Why as a parent are you allowing your uninsured, unlicensed, drunk of a kid drive a car?!

      • d eaves

        I do hope that you never experience a substance abuse issue. Yes this person needs help not ridicule from his fathers political opponents. Not sure who’s car he was in. If who owned the car was stated in the article I missed that. You live under the eye of the public and media 24/7, therefore YOU KNOW all that is going on within that family??? Have you EVER SCREWED UP?? At 22 did you always do the brightest things? Who among us did? Have you ever meet someone who has substance abuse issues that is older than this 22 year old? Did you ever get drunk while underage? Did any of your friends? More then once? I hope he gets the help he needs. But your ridicule, due to his father, No that is not fair at all.

        • Carib9uc

          Dude, go cry in your milk somewhere else, no one is going to join your pity party.

    • Carib9uc

      The most important question is are your parents running for president?

      • d eaves

        No the more important question is have you ever screwed up? Not your parents, You? Do you have kids? Do they ALWAYS DO the BEHAVE? When they do not then does that make YOU the “BAD PARENT”? Do you KNOW FIRST HAND the family dynamics of that family? Have you EVER LIVED IN A FISHBOWL 24/7? Did You get to choose what your father did? Do you think this 22 year old gets to tell his Dad: yes you can or no you cannot seek this office? At 55 I can look back and see people of all races and classes that had and have problems with substance abuse. Rich, Poor, young to old, EVERY race, in every state. So please explain how stating that someone needs help , not your ridicule, is a “PITY PARTY”.

        • Carib9uc

          Its clear you dont understand the connection between what a child does and how it affects his parent who is running for office. The other thing is his dad is one of those who would disparage you if your child committed such an offense so what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

          • d eaves

            I fully understand that ANY POLITICIAN FROM THE OPPOSING PARTY WILL MAKE A HUGE DEAL OUT OF ANY MISSTEP BY ANY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY ,STAFF OR INNER-CIRCLE. I am saying I DISAGREE WITH the children [who have little if any say in their parent’s being in politics] being singled out;( Obama’s Kids and what they wore for a Turkey Pardon? Remember Jimmy Carter’s political rivals doing their best to slime him for the actions of Billy, His Brother? Bush’s Daughters while in college?) I also see that you clearly avoid answering any of the questions that I pose. Have you ever screwed up? Let’s start there. If this kid was named Carb instead of Paul would you feel as strongly? Is he more deserving of harsh punishment then another due, solely, to his father’s political stance? (IMO No) Does he deserve less? (IMO No) Does he need help? ( IMO Yes)

    He will use the “Affluenza” defense and get off. That B.S. worked for the young kid who killed 4 while drunk driving.

    • Menmy3

      Right!

      • pennyjane

        no right winger would allow his child to have to play by the same rules as others….that would be downright un-republican!

  • Guest

    “Huck, huck! I ain’t gone getinno trubble! You know whoeyeyam?”

  • Thack

    Anyone else would get jail time for this repeated behavior. The right wing is circling the hyporcrisy wagons, again.

  • Doobies

    This guy is so busy kissing israels behind, he forgot to check up on his kid. Hey you gotta put some back into cheering for israel as your performance was mediocre.

  • Nancy Oni

    He’s the son so no big deal, driving drunk, no biggie, dang liburals make big scene out of nothing. No one gits hurt from this dude drinking driving. He deserves medal for being a rebel. No lady parts involved so no need for guvment interference.
    Ya guys fussing now, betcha never said a thang about how that there President of yurs daughters were dressed at the turkey pardon last yeer at Thanksgiving. Talk about a reel scandal.

    Side note: it is hard to misspell when your phone insists you don’t come off sounding like an idiot. In case it’s missed, yes, I’m being sarcastic. At least I hope I am and that no one actually thinks there are valid points in my response.

  • relevart

    Last I heard, there was not a lot of ‘privacy and respect’ due drunk drivers. That’s for tragedies, not for poor judgment and arrogant choices. Idiots.

  • Raymond J Ambrozaitis

    If Rand Paul follows his usual path, he will appoint himself judge and dismiss the case. Rand is known after all for self agrandizing actions such as certifying himself

  • Gerald Mosley

    This is not the same equal justice shown to others, especially our bothers with a bit more skin color. Jail time for William!

  • pennyjane

    same unknown black kid would have been shot dead in the street at the first sign of “belligerence” by our wonderful police officers of such high integrity, courage, judgment and self-sacrificing willingness to “serve and protect”…oh, that’s right…you gotta take that “serve” part very seriously when you’re dealing with rich, white punks.

  • TTAS

    SPAMMER!

    Politicians’ children should be off limits. This guy is childish, but legally an adult, right?

    • lugnut

      Strange never heard “the guy is childish” when “those other people” his age and younger do this. It’s put them away, throw away the key. Poor little Paulie Jr.

  • lugnut

    “He’s a thug”, who didn’t get tased and slammed to the ground for resisting arrest with all his belligerent behavior. He will most likely kill someone and get off after taking a little course. Good no one was standing next to that car when he hit it.

  • rivardau

    somehow, Daddy didn’t ensure that his son knew to always buy car insurance before driving (or even oversee that it was bought on the son’s behalf with his millions of dollars)…

    Sometimes people still make dumb mistakes and even moreso after they drink….

    but insurance is a pretty basic thing, something that one buys when sober anyway, and that can protect your family’s wealth (in this case, pretty large wealth at that)….and if Daddy can’t even ensure that his son doesn’t have simple car insurance in the case of accident that can sue for the family wealth (or the bad publicity of a presidential candidate)…

    then I don’t have much confidence in Daddy being able to run a whole country.

    gotta be able to take care of your own home and family first, before trying to take on caring for 300 + million others…

  • Patricia Hendy

    Don’t you see or hear… He is crying out for help “Please save me, I always yearned and still yearning for a ‘stay-home dad’.

  • derek

    What does the actions of a grown man of legal age have to do with another grown man running for office? So Rands son has a drinking problem. Does that make him less qualified to be president? No. Now on the other hand when he was secretary of state and used his own private email to accept bribes from Russia for the Paul foundation, ignored pleading calls from dying Americans for help, deleted all his emails from that server so no evidence can be found to indict him, that would definitely disqualify him!!! Oh wait….
