It's 'back the blue' until your wife gets a DUI driving home from PF Changs.

The wife of Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate Allen West was arrested in Dallas County for allegedly driving while intoxicated Friday night, according to the Dallas Police Department and West himself.

Angela Graham-West, 61, was driving home from dinner at P.F. Changs with her three-month-old grandson when she was pulled over and arrested for a suspected DWI. She was charged with driving while intoxicated with a child under 15 years old.

Graham-West was released from jail around 1 p.m. Saturday, according to West, who posted a video on Instagram early Saturday morning from the Dallas County jail. In the video, West angrily denied his wife had been drinking.

West, the former head of the Texas Republican Party, said he had been in Waco having dinner with Ted Nugent when he returned to Dallas to find his wife had been arrested.

1. The WORST part of this story? "having dinner with Ted Nugent"

[Hugh_Lebowski]

2. I dunno I think the 3 month old in the car might exceed that horror ... but only slightly (nt)

5. In Whacko.

6. I thought it was P.F. Chang's.

18. SHE was there. HE was w/Shit Pants

[Haggard Celine]

19. LoL!

I wonder if she had anybody dining with her. It's kind of odd to go out to eat by yourself, having drinks, with a baby in tow. Not saying it couldn't be true, but it's a little unusual. Of course, she might not have been drinking. Could've been zonked-out on pills.

20. I am sure since she is married to that asshole she stays numbed up.

[Hugin]

22. Maybe she had the baby so she could drive in the HOV lane.

[Haggard Celine]

23. HA! That's a possibility.

[Hugin]

21. Someone needs to start an end every sentence with "having dinner with Ted Nugent" thread.

*snort*

3. Too bad, now the chairman of the Republican Party is learning that driving while black in TX

Is a crime. Maybe he should do something about it.

[Treefrog]

11. Maybe his wife shouldn't drink and drive.

[Skittles]

16. if she couldn't pass a field sobriety test

she should not be driving

[Hugh_Lebowski]

4. Hey, West? 'Under the Influence' can involve many things, not just alcohol ...

Also you don't have to be 'drinking' to be high on alcohol.

Just ask Kavanaugh, he knows of some unique methods ...

7. Wango Tango! I hope the cops didn't put her in a Stranglehold.

8. Republicans piss all over actual ethics and morals

Hypocrites of the ultimate rank.

9. A 3 month old

Oh I bet the parents are just thrilled with grandma right now.

10. 1-6 showed that republicans remade the meme to 'backstab the blue'.

12. "backstab the blue"

Man, ain't THAT the truth!

13. "If we can't drive drunk, what next? We won't be allowed to expose other people to COVID?

Crazy homicidal maniacs might have their guns taken away?"

14. She probably drinks because she is married to him. Whacko Tobacco!

[dalton99a]

15. She is running for Garland City Council

17. Allen West has no problem with Ted Nugent calling Obama a, "chimpanzee"

and "sub-human mongrel". Just went ahead and enjoyed his dinner with the racist.
