GOP Lawmaker Calls Colleague 'Buckwheat' During Legislative Session 🤬🤬🤬
The unabashed act of racism happened as Holtor gave prepared remarks during an open session. It appears that a Black colleague expressed frustration at the speed in which Holtorf delivered his speech. Noting the frustration, Holtorf says to the offscreen legislator, “I’m getting there, Buckwheat, don’t worry, I’m getting there.”
As all hell breaks loose on the floor, Holtorf raises his voice and adds, “I’d like to say, that’s an endearing term by the way.” Kyle Clark tweeted that Holtor was immediately checked by Rep. Tom Sullivan, of whom Holtor ‘previously told to get over the murder of his son in the Aurora Theater shooting.’
As Sullivan voiced his disapproval, Holtor repeatedly asked from the lectern, “Mr. Sullivan, why are you yelling at me? Why are you yelling at me?”The video continues as Holtor gestures angrily at an unnamed Black woman and then toward the House chair.notice this piece of shit Holtorf immediately plays the victim, claiming that he's being yelled at…he should be expelled from the legislature & the GOP — but we all know the GOP loves this kind of behavior….
