You can't make this **** up.Congressman Trey Radel, Busted On Cocaine Charge, Voted For Drug Testing Food Stamp Recipients
In September, Rep. Trey Radel voted for Republican legislation that would allow states to make food stamp recipients pee in cups to prove they're not on drugs.
In October, police busted the Florida Republican on a charge of cocaine possession.
Radel apologized Tuesday for his cocaine bust and said he'd seek treatment.
"I struggle with the disease of alcoholism, and this led to an extremely irresponsible choice," he said.
His excuse? He's a drunk. LOL
So he gets to keep his job and his salary (that we taxpayers pay) while he seeks treatment, but he would deny food to other people with substance abuse problems.
