Note to Alcee Hastings: That law was overturned 7 years ago.
Via Mediaite:
In the days since Rep. Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL) messed with Texas during a House Rules Committee hearing, he has become the target of nasty country song and the subject of a Daily Show segment on the immaturity of Congress.
But the man who called Texas a “crazy state” that he wouldn’t live in “for all the tea in China” before saying Rep. Michael C. Burgess (R-TX) would have to wait until “hell freezes over” for an apology, kept right at it during a lively phone interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on Thursday.
“One of their cities have a law that says women can only have six dildos and the certain size of the thing,” Hastings told Bash, citing what appears to be a state-wide limit that was actually overturned in 2008. “And if that ain’t crazy, I don’t know what is.” He also found it “absurd” that someone from Texas was planning to cancel their trip to Disney World based on his remarks.
Then, in a surprising move, Hastings took a shot at his home state. “Consider the fact I’m a native Floridan and dislike it,” he said. “I wouldn’t live in a lot of places, Texas happens to be one of them.”
