Rhode Island’s GOP House minority leader is famous for two things: Criticizing gays, Guatemalans, and pot smokers; and now, being busted for smoking pot.
In a comment Robert Watson wishes he probably hadn’t made, the Republican minority leader of the Rhode Island House of Representatives said in February that the state legislature’s priorities are fine “if you’re a gay man from Guatemala who gambles and smokes pot.” Last Friday, Watson was arrested in Connecticut for driving under the influence of alcohol… and possessing pot and a wooden marijuana pipe.
