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. The remark caused an eruption in the chamber, with multiple people speaking out. One Democrat yelled from the back of the room, apparently confronting Holtorf.
Holtorf later told the outlet Colorado Politics that Rep. Tom Sullivan (D) was “spitting mad” and shaking his finger at the Republican. The pair have clashed before, including over gun violence.

Nobody involved was black until they decided it would be politically advantageous to get involved
Spanky and the Gang had a heavenly chuckle.
Yes and I did too
So if he is concerned with that, what about the mouth on Aunt Maxine. She is nasty mouthed in public and has a face that’s scares little children.
