Another day, another Democrat proving they can't be trusted with power. Washington state House majority leader Joe Fitzgibbon has been forced to apologize after showing up drunk to a crucial budget hearing, slurring his words while attempting to conduct the people's business.
The embarrassing spectacle unfolded during a House committee hearing where Fitzgibbon, who holds one of the most powerful positions in the state legislature, appeared visibly "impaired" according to multiple witnesses. His speech was so slurred that even his fellow Democrats couldn't ignore the obvious.
This is what passes for leadership in today's Democratic Party, folks. While hardworking Americans struggle to make ends meet under crushing inflation and government overreach, their so-called representatives are literally drinking on the job.
Democrat 'Standards' on Full Display
Fitzgibbon's pathetic apology came only after he was caught red-handed. How many other times has this happened when cameras weren't rolling? How many critical decisions affecting taxpayers have been made by impaired Democrat officials?
"I sincerely apologize," Fitzgibbon said in what amounts to a non-apology apology typical of Democrat politicians. But sorry doesn't cut it when you're entrusted with spending taxpayer dollars and making decisions that impact millions of lives.
This incident perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with Democrat governance. They treat their positions as entitlements rather than responsibilities, showing up unprepared and impaired while lecturing the rest of us about "responsibility" and "accountability."
Meanwhile, President Trump's administration continues delivering results for the American people with laser focus and unprecedented energy. The contrast couldn't be more stark between serious conservative leadership and the clown show that defines modern Democrats.
Washington state residents deserve better than drunk Democrats stumbling through budget hearings. They deserve representatives who show up sober, prepared, and actually committed to serving their constituents rather than treating public service like a fraternity party.
How many more examples do we need before Americans finally reject this culture of Democrat dysfunction once and for all?
