CNN contributor and former Democratic candidate for Florida governor Andrew Gillum apologized after a police report said he was found “inebriated” in a hotel room where suspected methamphetamine was also recovered.
“I was in Miami last night for a wedding celebration when first responders were called to assist one of my friends,” Gillum, the former mayor of state capital Tallahassee, said in a statement on Friday. “While I had too much to drink, I want to be clear that I have never used methamphetamines. I apologize to the people of Florida for the distraction this has caused our movement.”
