Mary Morrissey apologizes after being filmed dumping liquid into backpack of Democratic legislator Jim Carroll

A Vermont lawmaker was compelled to apologize publicly after being caught on video pouring water into her colleague’s work bag multiple times across several months.

The bizarre behavior is allegedly a part of a campaign of harassment that one legislator aimed at another who represents the same district in the Green Mountain state, independent outlet Seven Days first reported.

The Republican representative, Mary Morrissey, 67, confessed to dumping water in the bag of the Democratic legislator Jim Carroll, 62. She later apologized during a Vermont state house session on Monday, Boston.com reported.

“I am truly ashamed of my actions,” Morrissey said.

Morrissey did not respond to the Guardian’s request for comment.

    You seem to be taking this a bit personally - did someone pour water in your bag?

    An eye for an eye is not justice, and it doesn’t lead to peace.

      Who among us hasn’t had some cups of water poured unfairly into our messenger bags of life
