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.

If it was that long ago, maybe those onions were some old variety that were just terrible. The nasty old "crabapples" of the onion family tree.

I can't think of a single modern onion I wouldn't gladly chomp through if it came down to it.

    Yeah. I wouldn't want to eat a whole raw onion, but I could if I had to. I love raw onion on stuff like burgers and other sandwiches.
