GOP lawmaker yells “Go back to where you came from!” at Native American Democrat
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
A small-town candidate forum in Idaho this week went off the rails when a sitting state senator screamed at a Native American participant, “Why don’t you go back to where you came from?!”
The outburst, following an earlier threat against his Democratic opponent, came from the current state Sen. Dan Foreman (R), a retired cop well known for his rabid Christian nationalist ideology and simmering anger issues. And about an hour into the forum, both were on display when the candidates were asked whether or not they thought there was discrimination in the state.
Trish Carter-Goodheart, a Democratic House candidate who’s a member of the Nez Perce Tribe, responded by saying racism and discrimination are real problems in Idaho, referring to the presence of white supremacist enclaves in the north of the state, which Foreman represents, according to a statement she released after the for
After Carter-Goodheart spoke, Foreman stood up and began to yell, saying: “I’m so sick and tired of this liberal bullshit! Why don’t you go back to where you came from?
The meltdown was shared by Carter-Goodheart in her statement and corroborated by Julia Parker, Foreman’s Democratic opponent, and Mayor Rose Norris of Kendrick, where the event was held.

I think that the response by the Indian politician was much too polite. You deal with racism by getting in their face. My response would have been as follows:
I would have had the whole tribe holding a Pow Wow in his driveway, front and back yard, and telling him this is where we came from, now take your skinny white infected ass back to whatever shit whole your ancestors came from.
NA's have known of the most effective way of dealing with white supremacist xtian nationalists for over 175 years.
Yes, and it's time to resort to those types of responses.
I've got your 6 whenever you say go, and I always will ...
My scalpin knife is razor sharp and have a Zippo and a can of lighter fluid in my bug-out bag.
Whatever happened to the good old "tarred and feathered" manner of dealing with people like him?
LOL, that works for me.
Arvo..tad embarrassing for him.
Obviously the history education system failed him miserably..and he is certainly a shining example of it..
Can't fix stupid I am afraid...
SOS…..stuck on stupid
if the navajo nation pressed their treaties, maga morons in arizona would be drinking their swimming pools dry by now.
If ANY Nation/Tribe pressed their treaties that would be happening U.S. wide.
Sadly, this isn't a one off happening.
it's the same bullshit I heard from adults in arizona when I was 12 years old and those exhibitions of racism prompted me to become more socially and politically aware...
You have to wonder how many right wing Republican and MAGA officials think just like this but never say anything.
99.9%
The MAGA running for the US Senate in Montana is one. He was caught making jokes about drunk Indians and refused to apologize.
And I've always wondered just how many Dems/Libs think just like this - they just keep comin' outta the woodworks.
Regardless of how hard some try, this attitude is very wide spread and prevalent among the states in that region and it IS NOT just from "one party".
Are you seriously defending this racist statement against Native Americans by deflecting to liberals who didn't say it, and ignoring a conservative who did?

That is NOT what I'm saying and you know it.
[✘] Quit trying to change what I or anyone says to fit your mood of understanding.
Bull.
Shit.
You're trying to make an article about a racist conservative into a discussion about racist liberals.
[✘]
I don't have to twist anything. Your words are right here, in black and white.
nothing was twisted 1st, The racist Christian white nationalist is a Republican as is the vast majority of Idaho a very Republican and racist state. I also mentioned that a Republican running for US senator in Montana also made racist comments about drunk Indians and refusted to apologize when he was called out by Senator John Tesetr D MT.
end of story.

Explain, in real language, just where I said anything approving A conservative and denigrating liberal(S) in that statement - ESPECIALLY the part that states, quite unequivocally, NOT just from "one party.
BTW "black and white" are racist connotations.
Concur with your statement - his attitude is very visible among members of his state - and also within that 5 state region.
Pure friggin' idiots and haters - but, they are on/in both parties and that should also be recognized.
This statement was edited after I replied, and 1st would now like to pretend that he didn't deflect to liberals when he did.
damn straight. I've gotten tickets for much less blatant edits.
It's a semi-decent brand of Blended Scotch.

LOL, you are soooo bad ...
Good Ol' Scottie and Westie, eh?
Alas those days are long gone ... a good thing as my Muse kept telling me to have another.
You are correct.
I didn't edit my comment. When you see those little arrows next to the "reply" button, that indicates that a comment has been edited. Your comment has them, indicating that you edited it.
Now, this comment will show up as having been edited, because I added a few words to clarify.
Don't got no arrows.
Well, I edited it.
Like you did your deflecting comment, as shown by the arrows visible to me.
But I said what I did, and you blamed me for what you did.
Testor is a pretty incredible guy. He's been a Democratic Senator in a heavily Republican state for quite a while.,
Senator Jon Tester is a third-generation Montana farmer, a proud grandfather, and a former school teacher who has deep roots in hard work, responsibility and accountability.
He is the Chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs
Committee and Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense.
He also serves on the Senate Banking Committee, the Senate Commerce
Committee, and the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs.
Jon and his wife Sharla still farm the same land near the town of Big Sandy, Montana that was homesteaded by Jon’s grandparents in 1912.
I'd vote for him.
Thanks to Fox, Newsmax, Trump, etc... more and more fascists are coming out of the closet on a daily basis.
. Marjorie Taylor Greene has just said that the Democrats control the weather.
Everyone knows that. They use Jewish Space Lasers.
Wait, I thought they opened a big faucet in Canada?
Why didn't we nuke this hurricane, anyway?
... or use a sharpie to redirect it.
Where are all the righties telling us there is no racism in the US?
maybe they're at the local maga picnic/rally/cross burning today ...

Tell me about it. What a disgusting, ignorant outburst. That says a lot about Sen. Dan Foreman's constituents.
inexcusable, infuriating, and unacceptable by anyone claiming to be a patriotic american in the 21st century ...
It is Idaho, after all.
A shame really. Such beautiful scenery.
And great potatoes.
Busy arguing with all the lefties who say there is no racism in the U.S..
As you told me before, one person from a class does not equal the whole class - 87 Repubs, 18 Dems/Libs make up their legislature. This "one" individual, i.e. .00114942 % of the Repubs definitely doesn't represent the entire party.
Montana, Idaho, Utah, Eastern Oregon, ND and SD should all form into one state and be renamed the "Racist against everything" except whities state.
Name them.
You really seriously wanna play that game?
Of the 328M U.S. citizens, on average, Americans' political party preferences in 2021 looked similar to prior years, with slightly more U.S. adults identifying as Democrats or leaning Democratic (46%) than identified as Republicans or leaned Republican (43%) - or in simple terms, 150.88 M identified as Dems and 141.04M identified as Repubs.
I, PERSONALLY, don't have the names and addresses of all the 150.88M Dems of which I'm very quite sure there are a total batch who are racist in some form or fashion.
Got any names for me?
You're giving statistics on political affiliation. There is literally nothing in there supporting your statement about
whom you can't name, but somehow simultaneously claim to be debating.
Of course, this article gives an example of racism in the US, from a conservative, and you tried to turn it around on liberals above, which is pretty pathetic.
nothing pretty about it.
I agree, they do have a reputation that points in that direction.
1st, this article is about the racist Republican from Idaho and by my comment the racist US Snator wannabe from Montana. The rest is off-topic and a lot of whataboutlism.
Stay on the subject or don't comment.
Conservatives AND Liberals have racists among their groups - that's my contention. I have not nor will not attempt to single out a single group doing something that other groups are also doing.
BTW - he's a STATE senator - not a U. S. senator.
the current state Sen. Dan Foreman (R).
FYI, he is a terrible, absolutely terrible example of a person in a "political" party who state that they are trying to help you while knifing you in the back. Unfortunately, there are many others of his ilk and they all need to be gone.
Your words.
I do-- but I am refusing to share that information!
Typical lunatic fringe right wing reactionary - ignorant and evil.
The anger, the bigotry, the willful ignorance. I can’t relate to people like this or those who would vote for him.
Sadly, tacos it is not unusual. I also referenced in an above comment that a republican for the US senate in Montana was recorded making jokes about drunk Indians and when he was confronted by senator john tester D MT in a debate he refused to apologize.
par for the course
