The St. Paul woman said one day after voting concluded, "I am upset over the election and you should let me go home," according to police.

A day after Americans voted for president, an extremely drunken motorist rammed into two vehicles stopped at a traffic signal in Lino Lakes and explained to police afterward that she was drinking to drown her sorrows over Donald Trump’s victory, authorities said.

Elizabeth L. Lundberg, who turned 33 years old while in the Anoka County jail, remains held Monday morning on gross-misdemeanor charges of criminal vehicular operation and third-degree driving while intoxicated in connection with the crash late Wednesday afternoon at the intersection of Main Street and Lake Drive.

So she's blaming her alcoholism on Trump?

"Sorry ma'am, but Trump wasn't holding the bottle to your lips."

Man we got some real pansies. Has the WH come up with mind control /altering tech we don't know about? Probably only works on the soft brained though. Maybe they do have access to alien tech after all....

Typical liberal. Let me go, because my personal transgressions are someone else’s fault.

Trump’s Fault!

[ssaftler]

Lucky for this boozer that nobody in the cars she hit were seriously injured or worse. Otherwise, her “temporary” stay as a guest of the State of Minnesota could become quite lengthy.

But since she blamed it on Trump, I suppose some judge up there will give her a slap on the wrist and make her promise never to do it again.

.33? So they found blood in her alcohol stream, did they?

Her excuse is meaningless. She drank alcohol to excess and drove a motor vehicle on a public road. She was apprehended with a BAC of 0.33. The law prescribes the punishment for her actions. She chose poorly.

One more person who didn’t think no meant no.

It’s a Leftist disease!

So she’s blaming her alcoholism on Trump?

Bush’s fault!

Years ago I was completely wrong on a couple of fundamental issues. One thing that woke me up to that was that I looked around at the people who agreed with me.

“Why do I agree with those scumbags?” I wondered. “I’d better take another look at this.”

Aren’t you glad that this rancid skank isn’t a Trump voter?

[RayChuang88]

Michael Savage said "Liberalism is a disease." I didn't realize it ended up THIS bad. (shaking head)

[Fitzy_888]

Don’t you die at like 0.42? Two-three drinks shy.

[Thud]

Being conscious with a .33 BAC requires years of waking up with a .15 BAC.

[Red Badger]

LOL!..............

[Gaffer]

Donald held her down and jammed a bottle of whiskey down her throat....yeah.....

[sport]

AMEN and AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lee martell]

Tears on her pillow, & Vodka in her purse!

Snowflakes picture.

I personally witnessed *live* a former in-law at 0.58 who lived.
The doctor was incredulous and ordered test be readministered.
Second test indicated the same number. Person is remarkably still alive.
