A bipartisan forum in a small Latah County community took a turn when Republican Senate incumbent Dan Foreman stormed out of the event, following a racist outburst directed at a Native American candidate.
On Tuesday, local Democrat and Republican representatives organized a “Meet your candidates” forum in the northern Idaho town of Kendrick.
…
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 that discrimination existed in Idaho when it was her turn to speak, pointing to her own experience and the history of white supremacy groups in Northern Idaho.
…
Foreman stood up and angrily interjected, using an expletive to criticize what he cast as the liberal bent of the response, according to the release and people present at the forum.
Carter-Goodheart said he then told her she should go back to where she came from, and heatedly stormed off. One event organizer and two other panelists confirmed Carter-Goodheart’s account, adding Foreman appeared very agitated.
Do better Idaho.
Idaho looks at those lists for the worst state in the union and say “we gotta pump those numbers up”
Idaho is seriously and deeply fucked up. It rivals Utah for being one of the areas most deeply under the grip of religious asshattery.
Idaho wasn’t always a haven for the radical right and their terrorist agenda. Progressive environmentalist Senator Frank Church (D) represented the majority of the populace, and when white supremacists tried to muscle into northern Idaho, the locals successfully fought back.
Beginning in the 1980’s, Idaho’s incredible natural resources and staggeringly cheap property attracted a steady flood of survivalists, developers, and right-wing extremists from other states. This ongoing influx has shifted state politics to nearly Texas levels of hate, and the ensuing economic assault - as well as the sprawling destruction of its natural resources - has driven out many people from Idaho.
Even this shrieking douchebag Dan Foreman, is from Illinois. He moved to Idaho around 2005.
I live in Utah and have always viewed Idaho as Utah’s crazier, unhinged hat. My favorite thing about Idaho is that you can buy liquor at a convenience store rather than only at a state-run liquor store.
Idaho has fundies, polygamists, and domestic terrorists out shitting in the woods. Utah only has two of those things!
They’re too busy driving all of their doctors away with their shithole abortion laws
Senator Foreman is right…
It’s not that there is discrimination in Idaho, he and the Republican party are the discrimination in Idaho.
Triggered fragile snowflake.
Honestly there isn’t much else to do after you do this level of stupid.
“No you.”
