Indiana Democrat Jaime West reveals how many beers she downed before trainwreck interview

Indiana Democratic candidate Jaime West admitted on Monday that she downed “three beers” before slurring through a viral, trainwreck interview — in which she pledged to fire all Republicans.West, a county council hopeful in Fayetteville, argued on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” that she “wasn’t that intoxicated” when she gave a rambling monologue during a local televised forum on Oct.

9.After host Piers Morgan told West many viewers assumed she was drunk during her dumpster fire of an appearance at the forum, she begrudgingly admitted to having “a Coors Light.”An incredulous Morgan, sensing the whole truth hasn’t been told, asked West if she in fact really had only had one beer before the disastrous TV appearance. West then admitted that she, in fact, had “a couple.” “I was nervous! I was going into a room full of Republicans,” West said in an attempt to justify hitting the sauce.Morgan then asked West, in a “chance to be completely honest and transparent,” to definitively admit how many drinks she’d downed before the sloshed conversation. “Alright, three.

Three beers.What do you want me to say, man? I had three beers,” West revealed. The Indiana Democrat insisted she “wasn’t that intoxicated” and still “knew what I’m talking about when it comes to Indiana politics.”She also told Morgan she was sober while speaking to him and refused to renege when Morgan asked if there was anything she’d take back from her viral interview.“I say it all the time – I’m not friends with [Republicans].

I don’t like them.They voted for all of this that’s happening to our country,” West said....
