Nebraska state Sen. Steve Halloran (R) “is facing calls to resign after he inserted a colleague’s name into a passage he read during a floor debate from a book’s rape scene that included graphic detail,” NBC News reports.
“Halloran was reading from Alice Sebold’s memoir, Lucky, in which she described being raped in college, and he repeatedly invoked ‘Sen.
Cavanaugh’ as he read directly from the passage describing the incident of sexual violence.”
