OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) – A tweet from an account belonging to Oklahoma congressional candidate Abby Broyles says, “You guys win. I’ll just kill myself.”

The tweet follows a few weeks of controversy for Broyles.

Non-Doc recently reported Broyles berated a group of young girls at a sleepover.

On Feb. 22, the website The Lost Ogle reported Broyles "caused a drunken scene and heckled a comedian" at a non-profit benefit.

A tweet from an account belonging to Oklahoma congressional candidate Abby Broyles says, “You guys win. I’ll just kill myself.”

Please...what a crock. Only Democrats on sedatives need apply.

In a series of tweets last month, Broyles said the things she's accused of saying are not who she is nor do they depict the entirety of the situation.

She also said she's sure she's not the only Oklahoman who's ever had "one too many on a Friday night."

Broyles said last month that while she's committed to service, she is taking some time to focus on her mental health and recharging.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- A U.S. House candidate in Oklahoma has apologized after reports that she became intoxicated at a Valentine's Day weekend sleepover for middle-school-aged girls, berated several of the children and vomited in a hamper.

Democrat Abby Broyles, 32, told television station KFOR that she had an adverse reaction after drinking wine and taking sleep medication given to her by a friend.

“Instead of helping me sleep, I hallucinated," Broyles told the station in a televised interview. “And I don’t remember anything until I woke up or came to, and I was throwing up in a hamper."

She said she was invited to the slumber party by a good friend from law school who was the mother of one of the girls.

Parents and at least one of the girls who were at the sleepover told the online news outlet NonDoc, which first reported the story, that Broyles used profanity and berated several of the 12- and 13-year-old girls at the party, commenting on one girl’s acne and another’s Hispanic ethnicity.

The parent of one of the girls, Sarah Matthews, tweeted last week that she was disappointed that Broyles had not reached out to the girls to apologize.

“For someone who pontificates to be undyingly pro woman, I am disgusted by your behavior and find it appalling you couldn’t understand why their parents are angry,” Matthews wrote.

Broyles, who initially denied to NonDoc that she had attended the party, apologized last week during her interview with KFOR, a news channel for which she used to work as a journalist.

“I want to say sorry from the bottom of my heart, I apologize for any hurt or damage or trauma that my behavior, when I didn’t know what I was doing, caused," Broyles said. “I’m deeply sorry."

In a statement provided to The Associated Press on Tuesday, Broyles said she doesn’t believe she would have said the things she’s accused of saying and that she has no plans to drop out of the race.

“The things I’m accused to have said are not who I am. They’re not a reflection of my beliefs at all,” Broyles said. “It’s clear this media smear campaign is politically backed, and I won’t stop fighting for Oklahomans.”

Broyles, an attorney who was the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate from Oklahoma in 2020, announced last year she planned to run against Republican U.S. Rep. Stephanie Bice for the 5th Congressional District that includes Oklahoma City.

She looks like a Fox anchor but she’s got CNN DNA.

I think I would like to hear the answers to your question too. I heard an excerpt from this person being interviewed on the radio and in bigfootbob’s court of public opinion, She’s Guilty!

On the flip side of that coin, taking someone else’s meds can cost you big time in extreme ways. I knew someone who took one of his wife’s meds she got while having a root canal and I could not believe how much damage 1 Vicodin pill caused in my small circle of influence.

My former company had a policy against consuming someone other than yours prescription drugs. I had to fire one of the best department heads because he had an impacted tooth and took one of his wife’s Vicodin then came to work.

That day the HR office gave me a list of employees to send out for a random pee pee test. After his test came back dirty with Hydrocodone I had to ask for an addendum to the prescribed drug list he provided HR.

He couldn’t remember taking the meds, he thought the pee pee collector messed up the samples until the adrenaline subsided from being confronted about drugs in your system when you’re not a druggie, then he remembered what happened. He was screwed, the company screwed themselves and I was pissed for having to enforce the rule that ruined lives and harmed business.

This process played out for a better part of a month. The dentist that treated his impacted tooth that he took 1 of his wife’s pills for, sent us a VHS tape and a notarized letter saying that he would have and did prescribe a prescription for Vicodin and as his Dentist he thought it was a reasonable thing to do to until he could receive professional care, which he did. BTW-This is a marital couple in a marital community state.

It didn’t matter.

Will she lose her law license for knowingly taking prescription medication that was prescribed to another?

Note: Suicide threats are considered meaningless to Millennials. They do it all the time and get upset if the police get called.

Vicodin will get out of the system in 4-5 days. Why would anyone agree to be drug tested is beyond me. I wouldn’t. Exception is a TS clearance or an initial job drug test. Too many down sides.
