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."

Just polishing his resume.
I did not think about that. You are right. A life insurance policy on Travis with yourself as the beneficiary would be a surefire investment.
I would not bet on his political career being over.
It’s so sad that most of us never get that wake up call we really need by GETTING CAUGHT STRUNG OUT ON CRYSTAL METH WITH A BUNCH OF GAY DUDES IN A HOTEL ROOM or we could really have that great opportunity for positive growth and healing.
In denial about alcoholism, drug addiction and being gay? Denial ain’t a river in FL.
If there was, it would be deemed illegal.
Crystal Meth, Loser.....plus being BI-SEXUAL is a B^TCH!
Plus now he KNOWS the COPS will NEVER ARREST HIM for ANYTHING!! He is UNTOUCHABLE!
WHAT??
Mistakes were made...
“Is there rehab from faggotry?”
Isn’t that sort of illegal now? LOL!
You do that and the Press will say Gillum is the victim. Best thing to do is just let this play out. When he tries to make a comeback, ridicule the heck out of him.

There was a thread on it, but the jokes must have gotten too raunchy.
YUK!!
GILLLUM: “I was sipping a diet Pepsi, in self isolation at the hotel, to protect my beloved family from coronavirus, when there was a knock at the door.”
“Puzzled, since I was not expecting anyone, I threw open the door to find a gentlemen clad only in chaps, holding three bags of Gummi Bears and a pizza, which I did not order.”
“Ready to ride, cowboy?” he said.
“I religiously practice social distancing so when he got in my face, I was forced to strip naked because I feared contamination.”
“He started man-handling me. I resisted, then found myself face-down on the bed. The guy started slathering my butt with extra virgin olive oil and dipping his johnson into the gummy bear bags.”
“As a happily married man devoted to my wife and children,I was disgusted at the things he forced me to do. But when he asked me to play with his nipple rings, I had just about had it.”
“I was grateful when the police burst through the door.”
oh, like Barack Obama?
In my best southern drawl, I'd call him a homosex u all
“I read another account of the goings on and, man, what a revolting tale. One doesn’t have to be an alleged “homophobe” to get nauseated. It wasn’t exactly wholesome fun, and I don’t know how people could not think about this whenever they see him”
Same situation about a year or more ago went down in Los Angeles. The Foodie Critic for Channel 5 in LA was found dead and naked with a male prostitute in a Motel Room. The prostitute called it in. He died from a speedball up his.....well let’s just say it wasn’t his nose. He was married with a pretty wife and a young child. Really sordid and shocking as the story unfolded. Zero doubt Gillum was into the same “party” scene.
Yes, I remember that. I read an article and found out way more about the “gay lifestyle” than I ever wanted to know. I thought that had to be some kind of aberration, even for the “gay lifestyle”, but maybe not.
