Otto reposts anti-Obama video

TOPEKA — A Kansas legislator who represents a portion of Franklin County has reposted the ‘‘RedNeck Rap’’ YouTube video that drew criticism for mocking President Obama.

The video shows state Rep. Bill Otto, R-LeRoy, wearing a hat describing opossum as ‘‘the other dark meat.’’ A fellow legislator calls the video ‘‘disturbing’’ and evidence of bigotry, which Otto disputes.

Otto has included a new beginning to the video, to explain that the hat is a reference to his own ‘‘Ozark-American’’ heritage, not Obama.

He originally posted the video last month, but it was taken down Thursday evening. Otto said his two adult daughters removed it because they didn’t like him being labeled a racist.
