Florida GQP Leader Goes On A Week Long Bender

When George Riley Jr.'s family reported him missing last week, the 43-year-old Florida Republican Party executive director was hiding out in a local Hampton Inn, laying waste to everything within reach. That's according to a police report obtained by the Tampa Bay Times, which said Riley, 43, was thrown out of the hotel on Wednesday thanks to his "extensive drinking and damage caused to the room." Hotel employees said Riley had "urinated and vomited throughout," trashed the room's electric blinds, and was charged an additional fee for a deep cleaning to try and undo the mess.

Nothing says family values like going on a week-long bender while covered in your own filth.

From the source article:

"The assistant general manager noted that Riley was regularly purchasing alcohol while he stayed there and that he bought so much from the store inside the hotel, the manager had to order more."

"It has been a time of turbulence for the leadership of the state's Republican Party. Chairperson Christian Ziegler was ousted after he had been accused of sexually assaulting a woman with whom he and his wife had previously engaged in a threesome. After investigating, Sarasota law enforcement decided not to file criminal charges against him. Riley's disappearance added another element of turmoil."

Good times in Florida.
