TX House Speaker Drunk AF in session

[BelemNole]

Since this happened a few days ago and he's not in the hospital I think we can go with drunk.

Tried a new title.

Dade Phelan before heading into the session....

Word on the interwebs is that heavy drinking is common in the texas house. Which is probably why no one seemed surprised.

All Texans sound like that all the time to me.

I just figured they were stupid, not drunk.

Tried a new title.

Try one with a beer emoji.

Good Lord, he was barely able to stand up.
But, he owned the Libs, so he’s cool.

I thought he looked more strokey than drunk. Confirmed he is not in the hospital?

Phelan hadn’t responded to allegations that he was drunk in the clip as of Monday afternoon. Reached by phone on Monday morning, the speaker’s office said they did “not have a comment as of yet.”

Former GOP state Rep. Jonathan Stickland also weighed in on the controversy. The way he tells it, the video wasn’t inconsistent with Texas lawmakers’ typical behavior.

“Anyone who watches the #txlege House knows that many of the members are regularly intoxicated,” Stickland tweeted on Saturday. “Watching the Speaker be this wasted is absolutely unacceptable. These Representatives are making laws that impact 30 million Texans. It must stop.”

Pretty progressive of him to do a photo op with a trans person.

Oh boy... I mean if that is true then those guys should be tossed out.

When he drives to the house it will be, “Take me drunk ossifer, I’m not home.”
