LITTLE ROCK (KFSM) – An Arkansas representative was spit on during a vote over the Religious Freedom Restoration Act on March 30, officials say.
Rep. Rebecca Petty, R-Rogers, was spit on by a group at the Capitol protesting the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, lawmakers say.
Sen. Jason Rapert, R-Conway, said he was “amazed that people uplift this sort of behavior. We were a much better country when people showed respect and honor.”
He continued, “I don’t spit at or curse people for not voting for legislation they disagree with.”
