Wishing him the best. Wishing so many other alcoholics in House and Senate had quit and sought treatment. I.e. The Swimmer.

Since alcoholism is a “disease”, shouldn’t we insist that his wife serve in his stead, like Cindy M?
To: SMGFan
Get help and stay away from the swamp. Too much pressure and temptation. No dishonor in fixing your problem.

Or is he drinking because of the upcoming I.G. reports.

When one is too drunk to be in Congress, one is a helluva drunk.

When one is too drunk to be in Congress, one is a helluva drunk.I can't help but wonder if this is a preemptive measure of some sort. What shoe is about to drop on Congressman Garrett?

Still sounds like a setup. He had told people he was running a week ago and the media already had enabling sources leaking information about his dog care and dry cleaning to them? Virginia GOP better have a nominee ready to step in.

Why attack yourself, Garrett? Weren’t the ‘rats attacking you enough?
Most of America needs better representation in CONgre$$. Lots of weak individuals.
Freedom caucus? Enslaved yourself, Tom.

Be interesting to see if any other freedom caucus members drop out. Of course, they wouldn’t ALL have to leave. Just enough to skew the numbers. I hope that’s not what this is about.
To: SMGFan
Praying he moves with all speed to get some real help, support and counseling for both him but also his dear family.
A nasty problem that is both deadly, yet totally curable.
Many prayer partners available for him and hopeful he reaches out and admits he needs help that can only be found above and beyond himself.

You should be a substance abuse counselor.

Looks as if they let anybody into the Freedom Cacaus these days.

Lots of Virginia US Representatives are drunks, but they’re never going to decline re-election.
Know why? They’re all Dims.

Stinking degenerate. Stop drinking if you cant handle it. Didnt elect you to focus on your recovery. What the hell does that even mean? Those are random meaningless words. Way to step up in your nations time of need. LOSER!
To: SMGFan
Since he did not say he wants to spend more time with his family I believe him. But realistically it could also mean the real reason is even worse.
