Democrat Congressman Joe Cunningham finally achieved a long-term goal of his, to smuggle beer onto the House floor.
Charleston’s Democratic Representative lost his seat in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District in November to Nancy Mace.
Cunningham had previously tried to bring a full six-pack of the suds in 2019 but got caught. Well, he succeeded this time. The brew was a DC Brau pale ale called Joint Resolution. Give it a watch below.
The outgoing congressman spent his farewell speech on Thursday calling out hypocrisy and divisiveness in American politics. Afterwards, he cracked a beer while standing at the podium on the House floor – alcohol is prohibited in the chamber.
“In my short tenure, I’ve been disappointed with a lot that I’ve encountered,” Cunningham said. “I’ve seen members mock the president behind his back, and praise him to his face. Loathe him in private, and worship him on television.”
