Andrew Gillum Overdoses On Crystal Meth With Gay Porn Star Escort!!!
First Name Tom, Last Name Foolery… And I’m Everybody’s Uncle!
Including this down-low politician… Andrew Gillum
Andrew Gillum said he would withdraw from public life, closing a chapter in his career that took him from the peak of Florida power to a Miami Beach hotel room where he was found inebriated with a man suspected of overdosing on crystal meth.
“This has been a wake-up call for me,” the former Tallahassee mayor said in a written statement Sunday.
“Since my race for governor ended, I fell into a depression that has led to alcohol abuse. I witnessed my father suffer from alcoholism & I know the damaging effects it can have when untreated. I also know that alcoholism is often a symptom of deeper struggles.“
"I will be stepping down from all public facing roles for the foreseeable future,” he wrote.
Gillum said he would enter a rehabilitation facility. He apologized & asked for privacy.
The one-time gubernatorial candidate will give up the reins of Forward Florida, a political committee he founded to register & motivate voters to defeat President Donald Trump in the battleground state.
He also is stepping back from CNN, where he was paid commentator, a gig that made him a familiar face in the living rooms of voters.
Gillum’s friends say he’s been withdrawn from them, too, as he grapples with the destruction of his career & the challenge to his marriage.
The husband & father of three young children was found early Friday by Miami Beach Police in a Mondrian South Beach hotel room with an apparent overdose victim, a man who, according to local media reports, claimed to be a “pornstar performer” & advertised his services as a gay male escort.
Police found three bags of suspected crystal meth in the room. Gillum, 40, said he’d had too much to drink but hadn’t been using drugs.
He told officers that he was in town for a wedding. Friends said he was supposed to officiate at the celebration but was a no-show.
The eulogies began coming in over the weekend after Gillum issued an apology Friday morning.
His personal collapse disappointed some progressives who felt he let down the cause, a sentiment he addressed in his apology Friday.
And Democrats said they were pained to see the loss of a dynamic leader who could rouse white progressives & black church-goers alike with his soaring rhetoric.
“He spoke to the issues better than anyone we’ve had,” said Susan Smith, former president of the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida.
“The way he spoke & the knowledge he had about working people & the most vulnerable will be sorely missed."
