    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Republican Nebraska state Sen. Steve Halloran 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.

    Halloran apologized on the Senate floor Tuesday morning, defending his decision to read the passage but saying it was a “mistake” to reference his colleagues.

    How dare he even form his mouth to say the words “Give me a blow job Senator Cavanaugh,” she wrote in a post on X.

    The problem is standing on a platform as a state senator, and fixing your mouth to tell one of your colleagues to give you a blow job.”

    Sen. Julie Slama, a Republican and the youngest member of the chamber, spoke on the floor following Halloran’s apology.

    Sen. Brad von Gillern, a Republican, denounced Halloran’s remarks and his “conditional apology” in an emotional speech on the floor on Tuesday.
