The news was first reported by conservative commentator Candace Owens on Twitter. Owens, along with the Miami Herald and other news outlets, cited a Miami Beach police report that said the incident involved two other men. Police said Gillum, a former mayor of Tallahassee, was unable to communicate with officers due to his inebriated state. WPLG-TV reported that a call was made to 911 at 1 a.m. Friday from a hotel room. Police and paramedics responded to the scene and found Gillum with two other men, one of whom appeared to be suffering from a drug overdose. The police report said three bags of what was suspected to be crystal methamphetamine were found in plain sight. Gillum left the hotel room and returned to his residence without incident, the police report said. twitter.com/BillyCorben/status/1238486471314526209 Gillum denied using meth in a statement Friday. While I had too much to drink, I want to be clear that I have never used methamphetamines, he said. The former mayor said he was in Miami for a wedding celebration when first responders were called to assist one of my friends. twitter.com/akarl_smith/status/1238495866455031809 This is not the first time Gillum has appeared in scandalous headlines. During the 2018 election, he was caught up in a corruption probe that included the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Text messages indicated he had accepted free tickets to a production of the hit Broadway show Hamilton from an undercover FBI agent. During a gubernatorial debate with Republican candidate (and later governor) Ron DeSantis, Gillum had denied taking the tickets for free. twitter.com/MiamiHerald/status/1238497766067838976 In January 2019, Gillums campaign was hit with charges of violating ethics laws. Four months later, the FBI subpoenaed records from his gubernatorial campaign. Since his electoral defeat, Gillum has been a contributor to CNN. While Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams has had far more visibility in claiming that the results of a 2018 election were invalid because of voter suppression, Gillum briefly rescinded an Election Day concession before ultimately conceding the race to DeSantis. While some on the left blamed Floridians supposed racism for Gillums 2018 loss, such claims are belied by the fact that Barack Obama won the state in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections. Gillum said in his statement Friday that he would spend the next few weeks with my family and that he would appreciate privacy. That seems like a good idea, although it remains to be seen just what exactly he was doing being inebriated in a hotel room with two men at 1 in the morning. Poster Comment: Shades of Marion Barry.

Andrew Gillum, a married father-of-three who narrowly missed out on becoming Florida's first black governor, was too 'inebriated' to speak when cops arrived at the ritzy Mondrian Hotel in Miami's South Beach party district. He was inside the room early Friday with two more men, one of them a 30-year-old male escort named Travis Dyson who was being treated by paramedics for a suspected drug overdose. The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable. ~ H. L. Mencken
More takes on Gillum. The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable. ~ H. L. Mencken
I had a female room mate that was free basing coke. I told her if she brought that pipe back into the house I would break it and sink it in the pond out back. She did, and I did what I told her I would do. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
I'm not sure if it is the fact that Gillum is black that this dope stuff going on. But I have seen it before from this particular ethnic group. ;)
