This Republican congressman from Arizona referred to Black Americans as 'colored people' on House floor

Ohio Rep. Joyce Beatty moved to strike Arizona Rep. Eli Crane's "offensive and very inappropriate" comments from the record.

Notably ironic as he was speaking in support of an amendment to ban inclusivity training requirements for military members.
