Washington (CNN) Rep. Alcee Hastings, citing a dildo law, among other things, has some harsh words for Texas lawmakers.

That's the rationale he used in an interview with CNN, in response to outrage from the Texas delegation over his comments this week that Texas is "a crazy state."

"I love Texans, but I do not like their policy makers who are in the majority," he said. "The simple fact of the matter is, evidently, I touched a nerve deep in the heart of Texas. And I would ask them to tie a yellow rose around it and do like 'Frozen' and 'Let it go.'"

On Tuesday, all 25 Republicans in the Texas delegation demanded Hastings apologize for the comments, which he made during a Monday House Rules Committee debate over a bill repealing Obamacare.

Commenting on Texas' decision not to participate in the state health care exchanges established by the Affordable Care Act, Hastings said, "I don't know about in your state, which I think is a crazy state to begin with, and I mean that just as I said it."
