A Democratic Colorado State Senator announced she is getting substance abuse treatment after she arrived late to a public hearing late, intoxicated, slurred her words and scrolled on her phone while community members talked.
Faith Winter, the assistant senate majority leader, was nearly 10 minutes late on Wednesday to a community hearing in Northglenn about a plan to open a halfway house for sex offenders near an elementary school.
When she walked in during opening statements, Winter - who was one of the sponsors of the bill proposing the housing - appeared unaware she was supposed to be sitting with the panelist.
Once she sat down, the top-ranking democrat gave brief and stumbling remarks. 'Most folks that go to prison, come out of prison. And we have to decide how and when and where we handle that an every local community has issues,' Winter said.
At one point in the meeting, a member of the audience shouted at Winter for scrolling on her phone while people were sharing their concerns over the facility. She responded with a garbled speech that she was using it to look up statistics.

Lissette Loya, an audience member, posted a video on Facebook of Winter looking down at her phone during the meeting.

Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
Pretty much explains everything.
Hey, if Pelosi and Hillary can do it...
“...slurred her words and scrolled on her phone...”
She’s just trying immulate Biden. He slurs his words and walks around the stage intermittently losing interet in what he is not saying.

Dem. Colorado state senator says she’s seeking treatment for alcoholism.
Easy stay away from Hillary find new friends.
This is a resume enhancer.
Typical liberal parasite who knows if she’s caught which she was all she has to do is admit she needs help and she’s off the hook
How could she forget to blame Trump for this situation? Or at least to accuse him of an unreported rape, twenty years ago! She must be in really bad shape.
While the opportunity is here for piling on and may be deserved for other things, it is not deserved for alcoholism. I have personal experience with this and I assure you it is a terrible and terrifying condition to be in. Prayers that she obtains the help she appears to be seeking and for full recovery for her and comfort to her friends and family s
who undoubtedly have watched her decline this way.
If she sobers up, she might stop being a democrat.
It’s a behavior.
This victim mentality and then trying to seperate yourself from your own behavior is a progressive liberal way of thinking.
It’s not a disease or a condition.
I have raised an adopted son with fetal alcohol syndrome. Stop making excuses for poor ,negligent behavior.
Now need vision bleach.
when in doubt and the heat is on...rehabra-cadabra.
My post was intended as cynical humor aimed at leftists. It had nothing to do with alcoholism.
I knew that. I was trying to address others as a public service. No disrespect to you. One day at a time my friend.
