YAKIMA, Wash. -- Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Pasco, finds himself the target of criticism from two ex-Playboy pinups and the daughter of music legend Willie Nelson.
Hastings recently questioned the wisdom of spending $200 million on the “Restore Our American Mustangs Act,” which would protect wild horses in 10 western states by providing additional land and protections.
“With all of the issues that are facing our country,” Hastings told reporters for the web site POLITICO.com, “here we are going to the floor in order to fill time to talk about welfare for wild horses...”
That didn’t sit well with former Playboy playmates Shane and Sia Barbi (aka “The Barbi Twins”) and Amy Nelson, daughter of Willie.
“I gotta be honest: I’m very pro-snake. I’m an animal activist," Shane Barbi told the Huffington Post.
“But these people are snakes in the way that they’re trying to disguise themselves as someone that cares about animals ... Well, bottom line: The voters want to help animals no matter how bad times are.”
