Rep. Ralph Hall (R) wanders into LGBT event, enjoys hospitality before realizing he’s in wrong place

[TexasTowelie]

Maybe it’s not so hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

At least, that’s what some were thinking after Texas Rep. Ralph Hall showed up at an LGBT event for the Victory Fund last week, as the Rockwall Republican sipped his drink and made polite conversation.

Of course, that was before the he realized he was at the wrong event. As it turns out, Hall and his staffers were under the impression that they were attending an event for a fellow congressman, an event scheduled for that same day. After being welcomed into the event and offered refreshments, Hall inquired about the congressman whom he was there to support. After being told that he was indeed in the wrong place, the longtime conservative quickly left the premises — that is, as quickly as a 90-year-old can physically leave a premises.

“At that moment I realized that this was not the reception I intended to attend, and I put down my glass, thanked the sponsor, and told him we would be leaving,” Hall said.
