Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) defended Pete Hegseth's admission that he had a drinking problem by claiming everybody else is a drunkard too.
Everyone is a drunk in DC!!!
Everyone is a lush in the media.
Vote for Pete!
Heather covered this yesterday:
TAPPER: What I'm saying is, when you're talking about drinking at 10 in the morning, that's a drinking problem. Now, it doesn't mean that there should be a stigma.
MULLIN: Well, there's a lot of politicians that have a drinking problem, Jake.
TAPPER: Yes, of course, but I guess my question is.
MULLIN: Yeah, and there's probably a lot of media that has a drinking problem, too. And now, I don't drink.
I've never, I haven't, well, I haven't tasted alcohol in many, many, many years and never had drink at all in my life, really.
And so, I really don't understand that.
Wat, wait, wait. Sen. Mullen is claiming he's never had a drink of alcohol nor understands it, but then claims he's qualified to deride politicians and the entire media for having a drinking problem?
This is both-siding the issue to the umpteenth degree.
