Crazy moment. Rep. Jeff McNeely takes aim at Rep. Abe Jones' Harvard background: "Would you have not been able to achieve these if you were not an athlete or a minority?" He's suspended from continuing to speak. Jones: "I earned my place and I did well." #ncpol

VIDEO: Here’s the exchange between Republican Rep. Jeff McNeely and Democratic Rep. Abe Jones of Wake County during school choice bill debate —> #ncpol

McNeely has apologized to Jones on the House floor: “I respect Representative Jones. I think he’s a great legislator. I think he’s a great man. What I tried to ask or say did not come out right. That happens a lot, and I apologize." #ncpol

JUST IN: In statement, Rep. Jones tells me he has accepted Rep. McNeely's apology, but will let his colleague's conduct and statement speak for itself. He says the "thinly-veiled racial aspect of the encounter is inexcusable." #ncpol Story updated here -->
