    The latest scandal in US politics is a weird one, so buckle up. Republican lawmaker Mary Morrissey was caught secretly pouring water into a Democratic colleague's tote bag that was hung on a hook in the Vermont Statehouse.

    Turns out, she'd been doing it for five months straight. Yes, FIVE months.

    Democratic lawmaker Jim Carroll, the owner of the tote bag, reportedly set up a hidden video camera to find out who was behind the bag-soaking and caught Morrissey red-handed. (You can watch the full video here.)

    Carroll told the Associated Press that his bag used to be soaked with water a few times a week, but after he was charged with driving under the influence, it escalated to "almost daily."

    Since the incident, Morrissey has recently publicly apologized for the bizarre ordeal, saying: "I am truly ashamed for my actions."

    "I have given my sincere apology to Jim directly and publicly and will be working towards resolution and restoration through our legislative process," Morrissey continued. 

    The now-viral video has received over 5.9 million views, and people are rightfully annoyed at the unseriousness, saying, "this is so petty, ofc it's a Republican."
