In 2009, the representative was criticized by a national civil rights organization for a video he had posted on YouTube, called "RedNeck Rap", in which he criticized President Barack Obama while wearing a hat with the words "Opossum: The Other Dark Meat". Otto claimed that the criticism was unfair and that the slogan on his hat was a reference to his "Ozark-American" heritage, not Obama.[2] Otto also made a comparison between Obama and Adolf Hitler in a 2012 letter to the editor.[3] Committee membership
