GOP House Candidate Photographed Hitting Beer Bong, Licking Woman


GOP House Candidate Photographed Hitting Beer Bong, Licking Woman

A Republican congressional candidate in Minnesota looks like the life of the party in a series of photos published Friday.

In the photos, which were obtained by City Pages, Stewart Mills is shown guzzling from a beer bong and licking the lips of a woman who isn't his wife. According to City Pages, the beer bong photos were posted on his wife's Facebook page in 2009.

The photo of him licking the other woman was taken at a 2008 Christmas party and was "still publicly viewable on Facebook" when City Pages posted it, but it has since been taken down. It's unclear who posted the photo on Facebook.

Mills, who is the likely challenger next year to Rep. Rick Nolan (D-MN) in Minnesota's Eighth Congressional District, said in a statement that it's "no secret that in the past I've let my hair down to have fun with family and friends."

Social media and the internet mean that just about everyone has some of their immature moments on record. And I think that is very good thing for us as a society. Everyone in the history of the world who has turned their nose had some sort of blemish - it just wasn't known.

Otherwise, we may deprive ourselves from stellar representation by the perpetually adolescent or even someone going AWOL to do lines of coke.

Nor is it what I meant.

Requiring perfection - particularly in areas that we all have failings in - will do what you claim "lowering the bar" will do: deprive us of qualified and quality individuals who have the misfortune of being human.

I've never heard of the man. I just strongly object to judging people for such minor personality flaws (because we all have them).

Not a huge fan of the discount all his ideas because he hit a beer bong crowd... I'm more of a discount all his ideas because they are wrong and would do nothing to advance the causes I support.

Not knocking you for posting it though it is important to be informed.
