Who cares, our (Washington state), Democrat Chief of the state Supreme Court was arrested for being more than twice above the limit.

I don't think you want to "go there".

Nice try. Beto did that as someone in his youthful 20s- not as a mature, powerful officeholder.

Yep...

Lawmakers from all parties are a reflection of the people they represent.

Nothing to see here.

Carry on.

I bet there will be some people that start calling for tougher laws and regulations on alcohol sales and possession now, drunk drivers put other drivers in too much danger, alcohol should not be this accessible.

Well, actually he has never been a "mature powerful office holder", so there is that.

But Beto was trying to get elected to a powerful elected office and now is running for a higher office...

But when GW Bush got elected the left was all over what his wife did in 1963...

A teen aged Laura Bush caused the death of a classmate in an automobile accident. No one denied that happened.
