In yet another embarrassing display from the radical left, Washington state Democratic House majority leader Joe Fitzgibbon had to publicly apologize after admitting he was "impaired" during an official budget committee hearing where he appeared visibly intoxicated with slurred speech.
The stunning admission comes as working families across Washington struggle with sky-high taxes and Democrat mismanagement of state finances. While hardworking taxpayers are forced to make ends meet, this leftist politician thought it was appropriate to show up drunk to discuss how to spend their money.
Fitzgibbon's alcohol-fueled performance during the budget hearing was so obvious that even his fellow Democrats couldn't ignore it. The lawmaker was forced to issue a statement acknowledging his "impaired" condition, though he stopped short of admitting he was flat-out drunk on the job.
"This is exactly what we've come to expect from the Democrat party," said one frustrated Washington resident. "They're drunk on power, and apparently just plain drunk when they're supposed to be working for us."
This latest scandal perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with Democrat leadership in blue states across America. While President Trump and the MAGA movement are delivering results for the American people, Democrat politicians are literally showing up intoxicated to important government meetings.
The incident raises serious questions about Fitzgibbon's fitness for office and whether this was an isolated incident or part of a pattern of unprofessional behavior. How many other times has this Democrat shown up impaired to make decisions affecting millions of Washington families?
Patriots across the state are demanding accountability. It's time for Washington voters to sober up and realize that the Democrat party is completely unfit to govern. When your elected officials are too drunk to do their jobs, maybe it's time to elect some adults who actually respect the responsibility they've been given.
How long will Americans tolerate this kind of disgraceful behavior from the radical left?
