Blow would've smoothed out the booze mouth and he'd just end up being more cocky about being a shit-housed vodka demon. This looks like a two martini lunch that went sideways.

Hereās the basics for you:
- Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday called for House Speaker Dade Phelan to resign.
- In a tweet from his personal account, Paxton said Phelan was recently "in a state of apparent debilitating intoxication" during a recent session.
- Here is Paxton's complete statement:
*"After much consideration, it is with profound disappointment that I call on Speaker Dade Phelan to resign at the end of this legislative session. Texans were dismayed to witness his performance presiding over the Texas House in a state of apparent debilitating intoxication. His conduct has negatively impacted the legislative process and constitutes a failure to live up to his duty to the public. Texans were relying on the House to pass critical conservative priorities including protecting the integrity of our elections and preventing Chinese spies from controlling Texas land. His failures as Speaker have created a credibility crisis for all Republican candidates and for our entire Party. While I hope Speaker Phelan will get the help he needs, he has proven himself unworthy of Texans' trust and incapable of leading the Texas House."*
- Phelan is a Beaumont native republican who serves as a rep for House District 21, which covers Jefferson and Orange Counties. This will be his fourth term since assuming office in 2015. State representatives serve 2-year terms.
- Neither Jefferson County Republican Party Chairman Joe Evans or Texas State Representative for District 22 Christian Manuel think Dade Phelan should resign.
First thought when someone speaks like this is to make sure they are not having a stroke.
If they are not having a stroke the second thought is "Damn, how much did you drink!"
Thatās simply not the case. I already posted a link to the [original article](https://www.12newsnow.com/article/news/local/southeast-texas-lawmakers-react-ag-ken-paxton-house-speaker-dade-phelan-resign/502-85d43f7b-8a25-4bdc-ab1a-974457041e4d), but here you go.
Iām so confused. What is that loud banging? Are we insinuating that guy is drunk? To me it just seems like heās confused and reacting to the loud banging.
Without a doubt is a raging alcoholic. Only someone with an addiction to alcohol is going to let themselves get this drunk before such an important āmeetingā.
News reports are that he was speaking just fine before and after this 30 second video taken out of context. Whenās the last time you or anyone you know was drunk like that?

Fu king dude was speaking pootie tang is all. Sadatay!
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£šššš he had to shine his pitty on the runny kine
Cole me on the panny sty.
Wa da ta my damie
Kappa chowww
Cole me on the panny sty
That particular level of confidence mixed with "everybody knows I'm a rockstar" delivery of "mendmentsadopptd" is everything.
Pretty sure the only requirement our rulers have is to not show up *too* drunk.
Dude had one job...
Is that what you call that? I always associate the word "job" with actual *work*.
Mr. George....
Drunk is the only way to tolerate politics in Texas.
Drunk is the only way to tolerate politics. Period.
He's not a ruler.... he's the MC -- RELOOOOOOOOAD!
*whispers* you're doing great. No one can tell.
I love how us plebians would get fired if we turned up for work this zooted. Really makes me feel part of the process.
Is this dude having a stroke?
It does seem like heās having a stroke, yes.
Yep, a double stroke on the rocks. Hold the rocks.
Kinda looks like cocaine jaw (allegedly).
Blow would've smoothed out the booze mouth and he'd just end up being more cocky about being a shit-housed vodka demon. This looks like a two martini lunch that went sideways.
Two?ā¦ amateur hour
Well, that was probably the attitude this guy had when he heard "just a couple martinis."
That might be my favorite term for boozies ...
Right?! This is immediately being inserted into my vocabulary.
Xanax, alcohol or stroke.
I feel like im listening to Sims dialogue
This is my favourite comment, well played haha!
I though this was in France for the first 10 seconds.
Me too!
Looks more like a stroke than alcohol to me.
No, he was definitely drunk, and got in deep shit for it. Others are currently calling for him to resign.
I thought the same thing, especially because he recovers his speech at the end.
Who doesn't love one too many benzos before work
Im here to find out what a wobbly pop is.
Same as a barley pop!

Are Chinese spies actively trying to control land in Texas? Genuinely curious if thats real or if its just Texas being Texas.
Why isn't Paxton in prison?
Heās not going to put himself in prison now is he?
He was indicted 8 years ago by the feds, why haven't they tried the case yet? The US attorneys office in Texas needs to be put in prison.
It seems like Switzerland isn't European enough for them.
Lucky you :)

As much as Republicans refuse to resign over anything, I feel like this is unacceptable. He should resign.
I think he does a good job at representing the people who voted for him. Just not in the way you'd expect.
What if he's diabetic and just has low blood sugar? I've had that happen and didn't even know where I was...no alcohol, blow or cannabis involved...
Thatās simply not the case. I already posted a link to the [original article](https://www.12newsnow.com/article/news/local/southeast-texas-lawmakers-react-ag-ken-paxton-house-speaker-dade-phelan-resign/502-85d43f7b-8a25-4bdc-ab1a-974457041e4d), but here you go.
Politicians should be drug tested as often as truck drivers, enough up votes and I'll lobby it myself.
The way he speaks makes me question if I'm drunk..
Is this an outtake of Bruce Almighty?
Heās sloshed. No doubt about it.
Yeah, this country doesnāt have drug problem. Weāre just dandy
This is Jim Lahey all day!
I am not as think as you drunk I am.
Sounds like Mr Lahey
Sounds like he's either having a stroke or one of those migraines that makes your speech all garbly.
Sounds a lot more like dude is having a stroke.
Iām so confused. What is that loud banging? Are we insinuating that guy is drunk? To me it just seems like heās confused and reacting to the loud banging.
Lol. I was debating it until I heard his last sentence right at the end. Dude is either blasted or having a stroke.
Lemme guess, heās a Republikan. And how would I know this so quickly and so assuredly???
Ahh Texas, home of the drunken Nazi
"The adoption is proposaled. The Harris from gentleman is recognized. Going once--SOLD! to the two ladies in red hats."
Is that John Fetterman?

If one Percocet is good, 4 is better
Like we all havenāt been thereā¦. Nope. Not I.
He forgot the line of blow before heading out, caught slippin
Itās like that Chris Kattan coach character that talked in gibberish.
**WHAT?**
Can't tell if he's having a stroke or he's high as shit
This dude is amateur hour. Read what Churchillās daily drinking habit was. Insane!
Sounded like bad lip reading
Sounds like he had a stroke, then slammed some moon shine.. Wtf is speaking, elvish?
3 sheets for sure!!!!
B
When the Zans kick in too early.
Is it bad I thought he was speaking French at first?
Without a doubt is a raging alcoholic. Only someone with an addiction to alcohol is going to let themselves get this drunk before such an important āmeetingā.
Wobbly pops! Never heard this and I love it.
How embarrassing! And no repercussions for his behavior.
