TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas legislator says he regrets sharing a post on Facebook that mocked Hispanics who speak accented English to make a derogatory comment about President Barack Obama.

Conservative Republican Rep. John Bradford of Lansing said in a statement Thursday that sharing the post was “in bad taste.”

Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley and others called the posting racist. Hensley said the House should investigate and consider disciplining Bradford.

The original posting was dated Sunday. The Wichita Eagle reported that Bradford shared it Tuesday. He had removed it from his Facebook page by Thursday afternoon.

The post featured a man wearing a sombrero and an altered photo of Obama. It made fun of heavily accented English by using several unrelated words to celebrate Obama’s leaving office next year.
