    A racist Republican? Now I’ve seen everything!

    >Foreman has a history of angrily confronting people in public, and shouting profanities.

    >Indigenous people, including the Nez Perce tribe, have lived in the Columbia River Basin for thousands of years. Foreman was born in Lake Forest, Illinois.

  3. So…to show there is no racism or discrimination in his state he goes on a racist and discriminate tirade.

    Bold strategy.

  4. What is it with modern day Republicans being absolutely triggered by people that don’t look like them or think the way republicans do standing on the same stage as them?

    I’ll never forget when Donald Trump said that AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Presley should all “go back where they came from.”

    3/4 of those women of color were born and raised in the United States, and the other, Ilhan Omar, has lived in this country just as long as Donald’s *second* European mail-order bride.

    This is the most Idaho thing I’ve seen in a good long while. And that’s really saying something because Idaho has turned into a shitshow full of backwards misogynists, racists, and bigots.

    “Native American” and “came from” in the same sentence? WTF? He need to go back to where he came from.

    > In a statement released Wednesday, Democratic candidate for House Seat A and member of the Nez Perce tribe Trish Carter-Goodheart said she pushed back on that idea when it was her turn to speak, pointing to her own experience and the history of white supremacy groups in Northern Idaho.

    > Carter-Goodheart said he then told her she should go back to where she came from, and heatedly stormed off.

  9. From Wikipedia

    Foreman reportedly had been scheduled to meet with college students from the University of Idaho who were advocating for birth control and sex education. After cancelling the meeting at the last minute, Foreman was recorded yelling at the students as he passed them in the hallway, telling them, “abortion is murder”.[13]

    Foreman has been a vocal critic of his own district, calling the area a “cesspool of liberalism”.[14]

    Foreman denies climate change, referring to it as a “scam”.[15][16] He does not support the separation of church and state.[17]

    He’s a massive piece of trash

    “Foreman has a history of angrily confronting people in public, and shouting profanities.”

    Maga Republican man-baby has a temper tantrum and stomps off. Sounds about right.

  11. How is he still a senator? He should be suspended immediately pending an investigation for hate and racist comments from an elected official.

  12. >Indigenous people, including the Nez Perce tribe, have lived in the Columbia River Basin for thousands of years. Foreman was born in Lake Forest, Illinois.

    Gold.

    This is the guy who introduced bills to the Idaho legislature that would classify abortion as first degree murder, which would allow the mother to get life imprisonment for having an abortion and the doctor could get the death penalty because the “murder” would be commited for money

  14. We were here first. We have stewardship of these lands given us by the creator. Handed down since time immemorial. How about you go back where your ancestors came from if you don’t like being on our native lands.
