Where do they find them? Where does the GOP manage to unearth such creatures as it has functioning as elected officials with the letter “R” behind their names? You are about to watch the Speaker of the Texas House attempt to get through a sentence and he is so $hitfaced that he’s ready to keel over.
TX Speaker of the House @DadePhelan came to the Capitol so drunk he was slurring words and propping himself up with one arm.
Resign, Dade. You are a disgrace to the office.pic.twitter.com/UeHIJesSSn

I’m surprised he didn’t hit himself in the head with the gavel. Man! How long has this guy been on this particular bender?!?
Here’s Alex Jones in a similar condition, although not as bad.
This will be him later explaining his actions. pic.twitter.com/LMERjikOhH

Another winner in Texas’ circle.
The label "Christian" already implies disgraced

This guy couldn’t pass a breathalyzer to drive a car, but he’s driving the ship of state. My Gawd. What a topsy turvey world we live in.
And who knows? Ron DeSantis will probably want to put him on his ticket as vice president. Or, maybe Trump will. No need to think this guy is on his way out, no, not by a long shot.
To be honest Dade Phalen has been the one guy trying to keep a lot of the really creepy bills from passing. Of dan patrick and greg abbott Dade Phalen is the good guy. At least as good as we can get with Texas gerrymander. Right wing freedom caucus will be gleeful in bringing him down.
are we sure he’s not having a neurological incident? that seems like more than alcohol
A drunk is the best the democrats can find in Texas? Sad. Very sad.
Dude, Phelan is an R.
