“My amendment has nothing to do with whether or not colored people, or Black people, or anyone can serve, okay?” Congressional newbie Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) said during a heated debate over his proposed amendment to the national defense bill.
Congressional newbie Rep. Eli Crane got called out on the House floor on Thursday for using the term “colored people” during a heated debate over his proposed amendment to the national defense bill.
“My amendment has nothing to do with whether or not colored people, or Black people, or anyone can serve, okay?” Crane said as Rep. Joyce Beatty , a Black woman, tried to object. “It has nothing to do with [the] color of your skin, any of that stuff. What we want to preserve and maintain is the fact that our military does not become a social experiment.”
His proposal was only one of a series of “culture war” amendments House Republicans have attached to the otherwise routine defense spending bill—including measures on hot-button issues such as Ukraine funding, abortion coverage, and procedures for transgender service members. “I find it offensive and very inappropriate,” she said. “I am asking for unanimous consent to take down the words of referring to me or any of my colleagues as colored people.”
