The Indiana Democrat candidate who went viral last week for an stunningly bizarre performance has broken her silence and revealed what caused it.
Jamie West (also listed as Jaime West), the Democrat nominee for Fayette County Council District 4 in Connersville, sat down for a candidate forum that observers have described as a “drunken, vodka-riddled tirade.”
The interview quickly veered into an emotional, hard-to-follow monologue about state legislation, fire services, data centers, and her dislike of Republicans.
Some of her wildest moments including her vowing to “fire all Republicans,” warning “We have guns too,” and demanding that data centers pay every resident $10,000.
This was something that one could mistaken for a Saturday Night Live skit, if SNL ever bothered to make fun of Democrats.
On Monday night, West appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored to speak about what exactly happened that fateful evening.
Morgan said that many people assumed that she might have “had a drink” beforehand.
“Did you,” he asked.
Here was West’s response:
WATCH:
WEST: I had a Coors Light. I had a beer.
MORGAN: One beer?
WEST: Okay, maybe a couple.
MORGAN: How many beers did you have?
WEST: I was NERVOUS, okay! I was going into a room full of Republicans!
MORGAN: Jamie, here’s your chance to be completely honest and transparent. How many beers did you have?
WEST: All right. Three beers.
MORGAN: Three beers. Okay, well, it’s trebled in the last 30 seconds.
WEST: What do you want me to say, man?! I had three beers, okay?!
Morgan then asked West if she had anything to drink before their interview (she said no).
Then, he gave West an opportunity to blame the alcohol for she disgusting remarks about Republicans. She declined.
“I say it all the time,” she admitted. “I’m not friends with them. I don’t like them.”
There is an old Latin saying called “in vino veritas” which means “in wine, there is truth.” Or in West’s case, beer.
This also explains why Democrat politicians generally only tell the truth when they are intoxicated.
