COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two Republican state lawmakers apologized on Friday for offensive remarks they made during a top House staffer’s going-away party that made light of recent sexual misconduct scandals and disparaged female lawmakers. Their remarks came less than a week after the House completed newly mandated sexual harassment training. Among other things, he maligned GOP state Rep. Candice Keller and former state Rep. Diana Fessler with name-calling and suggestive and sexist jokes. Keller was not there, but at least one other female House member walked out because the proceedings got so vulgar. In an acknowledgment letter to Seitz, Rosenberger said he was “disheartened by the careless and insensitive remarks” the representative made.
