VIDEO: Here’s the exchange between Republican Rep. Jeff McNeely and Democratic Rep. Abe Jones of Wake County during school choice bill debate —> #ncpol

Crazy moment. Rep. Jeff McNeely takes aim at Rep. Abe Jones' Harvard background: "Would you have not been able to achieve these if you were not an athlete or a minority?" He's suspended from continuing to speak. Jones: "I earned my place and I did well." #ncpol

McNeely has apologized to Jones on the House floor: “I respect Representative Jones. I think he’s a great legislator. I think he’s a great man. What I tried to ask or say did not come out right. That happens a lot, and I apologize." #ncpol

For those wishing to read more about today's floor session and McNeely's latest controversial remarks (including comparing State Bureau of Investigation management to Nazis and apparent racist questioning of a colleague today), subscribe here -->

JUST IN: In statement, Rep. Jones tells me he has accepted Rep. McNeely's apology, but will let his colleague's conduct and statement speak for itself. He says the "thinly-veiled racial aspect of the encounter is inexcusable." #ncpol Story updated here -->

See how LEADER Moore acted like he didn’t hear what was said? He’s no leader, he’s just as guilty as mcneely.

@KristinaDrye Someone else pointed this out: Something you never have to see a white man do is explain how he got into an Ivy League school, when we know it frequently has nothing to do with intellect or their educational achievements.

Oh, and ain’t it convenient Moore wasn’t paying attention 🤬

I live in Iredell County and I wish more ppl voted! That was disgusting, as was the outfit. 🫣

When you’re headed to Easter service but decide to stop off at the klan rally instead #ncpol
