Senate candidate Ken Buck: Vote for me ‘because I do not wear high heels’

Font Size:

A new video shows Ken Buck, the leading Republican candidate in a Colorado Senate race, repeatedly using the word “bull—-” and saying that voters should choose him over his female primary opponent “because I do not wear high heels.”

Buck, the Weld County district attorney, made the remarks at a recent forum, in response to an audience question. Former lieutenant governor Jane Norton has been running a campaign ad decrying third-party spending on behalf of Buck’s campaign and urging Buck to “be man enough” to run the ads himself.

“She has questioned my manhood; I think it’s fair to respond,” Buck continues in the video. “I have cowboy boots on. They have real bull— on ’em. That’s Weld County bull—, not Washington D.C. bull—.”

The brief YouTube clip is edited to about a minute and a half and was not posted by Buck’s campaign.
