Another fine GOP state senator and his aide

Another fine GOP state senator and his aide

Last month, a state senator in North Carolina, Norman Sanderson (R) was arrested in Raleigh for DWI at blood alcohol of 0.16, twice the limit. https://nsjonline.com/article/2025/10/state-sen-norman-sanderson-arrested-for-dwi/

Yesterday his aide Diane Cook was arrested for arson, trying to set someone’s townhome on fire. https://apple.news/AHLtiiZqKQhiDgeLwwauwdw

The GOP is a train wreck.

(Although to be fair, if my choices had led me to spend my career in the GOP, I’d want to drink heavily too.)
