Good look for Haley? I don't think so. Perhaps she'll seek the GOP nomination again in four years. By then, the conflict and public opinion could turn in a completely different direction.

This story from Vermont is one of the more bizarre stories I've seen of childish legislative misbehavior, not including the US Congress, which recently has more childishness than state legislatures.

Rep. Mary Morrissey (R-Bennington) faces an ethics investigation into whether she harassed Rep. Jim Carroll (D-Bennington) by secretly soaking his stuff several times during the recent legislative session, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.

Rep. Angela Arsenault (D-Williston) told Seven Days that she has seen a video that clearly shows Morrissey leave her Statehouse committee room, walk over to a bag outside Carroll's committee room and dump a cup of water into it.

"It was jaw-dropping," Arsenault recalled on Friday. "It was bizarre. Why? That's what I kept saying. Why?"

"It wasn't like 'Oops, I bumped my arm, and some of it spilled on this bag,'" Arsenault added. "There was no way this was inadvertent. It was purposeful."

Morrissey could face disciplinary measures if a confidential investigation under way by the House Ethics Panel concludes she violated the body's ethics rules.

He installed a small $23 spy camera in the hallway pointed at the coatrack outside his committee room. He took the video evidence to House Speaker Jill Krowinski (D-Burlington), who confronted Morrissey about it.

Krowinski has been out of the country and unavailable for an interview.
Morrissey initially denied responsibility, Carroll said, but in a follow-up meeting where Carroll was present, she apologized to him.

"It was a very uncomfortable meeting," Carroll recalled.

A Republican lawmaker publicly apologized to a Democratic colleague before the Vermont House of Representatives after she was caught on video pouring water into his bag multiple times over the course of five months.

“I am truly ashamed of my actions,” Representative Mary Morrissey, who serves Bennington, Vt., said at a House veto session Monday.

Trump got caught on audio going back to his crazy anti-vaccination ways while begging for Kenndy's endorsement. Funny how years after his nearly destroyed the economy with the same anti-vaccine, anti-science rhetoric, he's back at it.

Kennedy apologizes after a video of him speaking to Trump leaks

PHOENIX (AP) — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apologized Tuesday after a video was posted online showing part of a private phone call between the independent presidential candidate and Republican former President Donald Trump.


The video shows Kennedy listening on a speakerphone as Trump shares disproven claims about childhood vaccines, an issue that has helped Kennedy amass a loyal following among people who reject the scientific consensus that the benefits of vaccines far outweigh the risk of rare complications. Trump also appears to pitch Kennedy on endorsing his campaign.


“I would love you to do so,” Trump tells Kennedy. “And I think it’ll be so good for you and so big for you. And we’re going to win.”


Kennedy says little in the portion of the conversation that was leaked, which begins while Trump is already speaking about vaccines.


“When President Trump called me I was taping with an in-house videographer,” Kennedy wrote on the X platform. “I should have ordered the videographer to stop recording immediately. I am mortified that this was posted. I apologize to the president.”

Excerpt from the call:

Kennedy’s son, Robert Kennedy III, posted the clip early on Tuesday morning and said it was filmed on Sunday, the day after Trump was shot at by a would-be assassin. The younger Kennedy later deleted the video.

In the clip, Trump can be heard saying “I agree with you, man, something’s wrong with that whole system,” referring to vaccinations.


“When you feed a baby, Bobby, a vaccination that is like 38 different vaccines, and it looks like it's meant for a horse, not a, you know, 10 pound or 20 pound baby. It looks like you're giving, you should be giving a horse this,” Trump says. “And then you see the baby, all of a sudden starting to change radically. I've seen it too many times, and then you hear that it doesn't have an impact, right? But you and I talked about that a long time ago.”

Are you now campaigning for Trump?

Because this makes me want to vote even harder for Trump.
