Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke ripped into Arizona Democratic Rep. Raúl Grijalva on Friday and accused him of past “drunken and hostile behavior” after the lawmaker called for the Cabinet member’s resignation earlier in the day.
In a remarkably scathing Twitter post, Zinke referenced past news reports that Grijalva in 2015 paid a female aide on Capitol Hill nearly $50,000 in a taxpayer-funded settlement after she complained about his drinking and office environment.
“It is hard for him to think straight from the bottom of the bottle,” Zinke said of Grijalva. “This is coming from a man who used nearly $50,000 in tax dollars as hush money to cover up his drunken and hostile behavior. He should resign and pay back the taxpayers for the hush money and the tens of thousands of dollars he forced my department to spend investigating unfounded allegations.”

Raúl Grijalva, Ryan Zinke Punch, Counterpunch in Nasty Back-And-Forth
The House Democrat expected to lead the committee that will oversee the Interior Department is calling for its secretary, Ryan Zinke, to resign. And Zinke has fired back with charges of heavy drinking and his own call for Arizona Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva to step down.
Grijalva is in line to take over the House Natural Resources Committee in January and he penned a scathing USA Today op-ed, published Friday, that went straight to the point with this opening sentence: “Ryan Zinke needs to resign immediately as Secretary of the Interior.”
“Mr. Zinke has never even tried to offer an explanation for the sheer scope of his well-documented scandals,” Grijalva wrote of a Montana real estate scandal involving the former GOP congressman and allegations of travel-related ethical violations since he took over the Interior Department.

No one in the Mainstream Media that wants to remain employed and unblacklisted is interested enough to look into this claim against a Democrat.
Zinke is learning from Trump.
In the fwiw dept, intell is a good thing when you are being attacked.
Especially if you have any kind of power.

Thought this was supposed to be revealed to us.
NOW is the time to ‘let us know’ so we can’t be ‘accused’ of trying to ‘collude’ against reelection.
SHOULD BE PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE......all of them should be exposed, regardless of which party.
A bum is a bum is a bum, party affiliation shouldn’t matter.
Time for Grijalva to resign and take that commie pinko Sinenema with him
Grijalva, a Marxist, is, or at least was, the head of the Democratic Socialists in Congress. He was a worthless city pol when Jewish elements in Tucson used him to block the Arab attempt to fund a major education center in the USA at the U. of Arizona. When he succeeded he got a funding source and political backing he has used to this day.
Well, if he blocked the attempt to set up an Arab indoctrination...er, I mean, studies ...center, that’s a good thing. But it’s probably the only good thing he’s done in his entire political life.
Why doesn’t he stay ‘above the fray’?
LOL. As if that worked for Bush Jr.
““It is hard for him to think straight from the bottom of the bottle,” Zinke said of Grijalva.”
The man has guts to call out and take on the prissy, democrat snowflake.
