So show Rep. Cary Alllred a little respect, huh? Problem is, fellow House Republicans aren’t rushing to his defense, according to the report from the House sergeant at arms on Allred’s session beavior a few weeks ago:
In the report, Rep. Thom Tillis, the House Republican whip, said he did not see the hug but smelled a strong odor of alcohol on Allred, who had been told by a fellow lawmaker to settle down. According to Tillis, Allred responded: “I am 62 years old, and I’m worth $2 million. People ought to show me respect.”
Fellow Republican Daniel McComas described Allred as “a bomb that could explode any time.” The reality is Alllred’s not going to resign, so if the House want to be rid of him, it’ll have to get rid of him.
