Texans demand apology from Florida lawmaker who called Texas “a crazy state”

WASHINGTON — Texas Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives issued a joint statement Tuesday: “Don’t mess with Texas.”

That came in response to comments made by Florida Rep. Alcee Hastings, who called Texas “a crazy state” during a Rules Committee hearing Monday a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

[Rep. Michael] Burgess [of Texas] asked that Hastings apologize to the state and its residents, but Hastings refused.

“You will wait until hell freezes over for me to say anything in an apology. I will apologize to you if I was directing my comments to you. I was commenting about the state that you happen to be a resident of,” Hastings said.

And if Burgess had called Hastings' constituents "crazy"? All hell would have broken loose -- not only from Democrats, but from their media lapdogs as well. I'm half-surprised The Dallas Morning News gave it second-section front-page treatment. The publishers probably agree with Hastings.

I'm from a purple state and would say similar things about California. Hastings has his right to an opinion.
