Rep Walsh – “Insane amount of drinking” at the State House (Rhode Island)

Freshman Representative Moira Walsh (D- Providence) joined Matt Allen on WPRO to talk about a wide range of issues - including minimum wage and women's issues. It was a comment at the end of the hour long interview, however, that has garnered attention.

When asked by Allen what she found most surprising at the State House, Walsh said, "The drinking. It is the drinking that blows my mind. You can not operate a motor vehicle when you've had two beers but you can make laws that effect people's lives forever when you're half in the bag? That's outrageous!"

Silly little girl....would she rather the hacks and rump swabs molest lil’boys or girls like they do in D.C.? Rhode Island is just as corrupt as Massachusetts is . Entrenched from in every agency . the only thing that bothers me is I bet ya 100.00 dollars the TAXPAYER bought the booze and these scumbags probably took a van to New Hampshire to avoid taxes...like the rep’s in Massachusetts do....

I wonder if she realizes that she's just signed her political death warrant.

If I lived in Rhode Island I’d drink like a fish too. Heck I’m in VT and I’m seriously thinking about taking it back up again.

Full of Democrats dealing with the constant lying that is part of their job description. Some people can’t lie that much sober and need a crutch to get through the day.

Anyone acquainted with the habits of the criminal element will recognize the partying as that of a gang celebrating as they divvy up their loot.
