Leahy calls Trump's drinking problem claim 'bogus baloney'
President Donald Trump’s claim that Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., has a drinking problem is “bogus baloney” and an effort to silence the senator, according to Leahy and his spokesperson.
On Tuesday, Trump told a crowd at a campaign rally in Mississippi that Leahy had a drinking problem while talking about what would happen if the Democrats took control of the Senate.
“A guy like Bernie [Sanders] would be in charge of the Budget Committee. Patrick Leahy — oh, he’s never had a drink in his life,” Trump said. “Check it out: Look under ‘Patrick Leahy slash drink.’ … ‘Patrick Leahy dash drink’ will be in charge of the Appropriations Committee.”
Leahy, 78, told the Washington Post that Trump’s comments were “bogus baloney” and that the president “attacks everybody except Vladimir Putin.”
