The wife of U.S. Congressman was arrested at Walt Disney World in Florida on Sunday on a charge of disorderly intoxication, the Orlando Sentinel reported Monday (April 2).
Amanda Soto, 33, - wife of Rep. Darren Soto, D-Fla. - grabbed her mother's backpack to prevent her from walking away at a bus loop at Disney Springs, catching the attention of Orange County Sheriff's Deputy Cory Heller, the story said. Heller said the pair appeared to be intoxicated, and he helped them call an Uber to take them home. However, Amanda Soto began yelling profanities at the deputy and the driver, according to the report.
Heller handcuffed Soto and put her in a patrol car, where he said "she began banging [her] head against the window in what appeared to be an attempt to harm herself," the report said.
Heller said in his report that "even while attempting to speak with her (Soto) she continued to utter that her husband is a congressman, therefore, she can do whatever she wants."

I'm the wife of a Congressman. You mess with me, and my husband is going to seek reelection enough times to eventually get nominated to a committee, of which he will become the chair once enough other people retire, at which point it's conceivable someone might give a crap about anything he has to say while the grown-ups draft legislation. A-And then you'll be sorry!

She was obviously proven wrong in this instance, but her statement wasn't made our of thin air.
There's enough truth to it that she actually believes it, and that's the sick part.
