Colorado State representative Richard Holtorf is receiving backlash for referring to one of his colleagues as Buckwheat while speaking during a House session. Watch the clip inside.
If audacity was a person.
Colorado State representative Richard Holtorf (R-Akron) took the floor during a House session this week where he was commenting on an amendment he proposed to a bill when someone (off-camera) interrupted him. Instead of remaining professional, he resulted to name calling and he used a racial slur to do so. I m getting there don t worry, Buckwheat, I m getting there, he said before backtracking. That s an endearing term, by the way, he said.
