Tempers flare in Colorado House after member calls another 'Buckwheat'
A Colorado state lawmaker sparked uproar in the legislature this week after calling one of his colleagues "Buckwheat" during a House session.
Rep. Richard Holtorf (R) was talking about about military rules of engagement while discussing a piece of legislation on Wednesday when another representative tried to chime in, KDVR reported.
"I'm getting there. Don't worry, Buckwheat. I'm getting there," Holtorf told the representative.
"That's an endearing term, by the way," he added moments later.
Colorado State Rep Richard Holtorf (R-Akron) referred to a colleague as "Buckwheat," leading to a heated exchange and brief recess of the House. #coleg#copolitics#9Newspic.twitter.com/jYXNbEMg8q- Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) May 5, 2021
