GOP Lawmaker Inserts Colleague’s Name Into Graphic Rape Story
"Nebraska lawmakers are calling for the resignation of State Senator Steve Halloran (R) after he repeatedly inserted the name of two fellow senators into an extremely graphic rape scene he read to the chamber.
On Monday, while debating a bill that would revoke prosecution exemptions granted to “educational institutions providing obscenity to minors in grades K-12,” Halloran directed his comments at Sens. Machaela (D) and John Cavanaugh (D), siblings who serve alongside Halloran in the state Senate and opposed the proposed legislation.
Halloran began reading an excerpt from “Lucky,” a memoir by the author Alice Sebold exploring the impact being sexually assaulted at age 18 had on her life. Halloran read Sebold’s description of the attack, misrepresenting it as a piece of titillating literature and inserting “Sen. Cavanaugh” at various points — without clarifying which of the two lawmakers he was referring to."
