Former candidate for Florida governor Andrew Gillum, who was named in a police report Friday saying he was “inebriated” and initially unresponsive in a hotel room where investigators found baggies of suspected crystal methamphetamine, announced Sunday that he will enter rehab and step back from politics for the time being.
"After conversation with my family and deep reflection, I have made the decision to seek help, guidance and enter a rehabilitation facility at this time. This has been a wake-up call for me. Since my race for governor ended, I fell into a depression that has led to alcohol abuse. I witnessed my father suffer from alcoholism and I know the damaging effects it can have when untreated. I also know that alcoholism is often a symptom of deeper struggles. I am committed to doing the personal work to heal fully and show up in the world as a more complete person,” Gillum, a Democrat and CNN contributor, said in a statement.
He added: "I now need to firmly focus on myself and my family. I will be stepping down from all public facing roles for the foreseeable future. I want to apologize to my family, friends and the people of Florida who have supported me and put their faith in me over the years. I ask that you respect my and my family’s privacy during this time. Thank you."

Liberal elites in the press will buy the lie because Gillum is a democrat.
He was working with Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon — both homo — at CNN. Is being gay a requirement to work there?
Let’s pay the Gay pornstar a million bucks to tell the truth and flush this turd for good.
Any reason the cops let this Homo go?
With blood and fecal matter on the bed.

Do what?
That can’t be true. Sounds like something Christopher Steele would come up with.
Does a DUmocrat EVER take responsibility for their actions without playing the victim card?
Since my race for governor ended, I fell into a depression that has led to alcohol abuse.

Sounds like he’s a victim. LOL.
Not many people I know have ended up with gay porn star male prostitute in their hotel room ODing while naked.
Why cant it be true?
The DNC must be footing the bill for PR crisis management - this sounds pretty boilerplate for rehabbing a political career.
MethHead/Stacey 2024!!
Vote for us or you’re racist!
Hey cops, what about the Meth?
Gillum is done as far as elective office goes, and probably also as a prominent Dem political figure. The gay stuff will stick and end much of his support in the Black community, while impending federal trials are likely to reveal more evidence of his corruption as Mayor and City Commissioner in Tallahassee.
His opponents fan base will always bring this up....His opponent can keep his hands clean.....
Depending on where he goes for “therapy”.

In fairness, it’s a pretty easy call. Stevie Wonder could have seen that coming.
“This is so predictable, any prominent RAT caught doing something inappropriate or embarrassing immediately goes into “rehab”.”
And when he criticizes Trump in news stories, the press forgets this part.
Is he re-habing at Club Gitmo????
LOL! Caught in a hotel with a Male stripper and meth and he wants us to respect his privacy!
After a thorough and exhaustive investigation, which I conducted on myself, I have found that even though I made some mistakes, they did not meet the level of criminal Intent. Therefore, this case is closed and I won’t be taking any questions.
Marion Berry redux
Rehab for what? I thought gay-conversion therapy wasn’t allowed?
Voood yu like another Shnitzelgruben?
Just another homo failing to be normal
