Former Democrat Candidate for Florida Governor Andrew Gillum Arrested in Meth Incident While Too Intoxicated To Speak

First broken by Candace Owens.

Apparently he was partying -- with methamphetamine -- with two other men in a hotel room.

That's not a seedy beginning to a story or anything.

One of the men had a heart attack -- I'm guessing all the speed might have been a contributing factor -- and they called EMS.

Police also responded and found a room littered with meth.

And they found Andrew Gillum, who was too f***ed up to speak. Though, in fairness, he's kind of like that generally.

Here's one local report.

According to the police report, officers who responded to the hotel tried to speak with Gillum but he was too inebriated.

Fire Rescue personnel took Dyson to Mount Sinai Medical Center in stable condition.

They returned to the hotel to check on Gillum, who authorities said was stable and whose vitals were now normal.

According to the police report, officers found three small clear bags inside the hotel room containing suspected crystal meth.

The suspected narcotics were impounded as evidence.

Politico reporter Marc Caputo is spinning like a top for Gillum (naturally).

Gillum says he was just drunk on alcohol and never takes speed. OK, whatever.

You know what people do when they're so drunk they can barely talk somewhere where there's drugs littering the floor? That's right, they take the drugs.

Representative Matt Gaetz says we should respect Andrew Gillum's privacy.

Sort of.

Everyone should respect @AndrewGillum's privacy as he explains why he was one of three men in a hotel room w 3 bags of meth, too impaired to talk to first responders.
