Rep. Himes: Some House Members 'Don't Have Faculties to Do Jobs'
Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., claims some House members “don’t have the faculties to do their job,” while another House Republican says they have a “difficult time sometimes telling between the deterioration of members and a handful who are just not very smart,” according to Politico.
The news outlet spoke to 25 members of the House and Senate, Democrats and Republicans, about what Congress is really like.
Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., said he’s seen one Republican, who, “unfortunately for you, has to go unnamed, show up drunk a number of times.
“There were one or two Dems I thought might be high on something but not drunk,” he added.
Other lawmakers, including Himes and Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., said they hadn’t seen anyone drunk.
