Hmm, I thought it was just Conservatives/GOP that are confirmed racist.

 

Sheldon Whitehouse under fire for membership at all-white beach club

 

Whitehouse (D-RI) was confronted Friday by a GoLocal Providence reporter, who published the video along with an article on Saturday detailing what occurred after asking about the senator’s membership at Newport-based Bailey’s Beach Club, part of the Spouting Rock Beach Association.

 

“I think the people who are running the place are still working on that and I’m sorry it hasn’t happened yet,” the progressive pol told the reporter after being asked of the club’s lack of any diversity whatsoever.

 

Asked if such clubs should continue to exist at a time when the country is having a racial reckoning, Whitehouse replied, “It’s a long tradition in Rhode Island, and there are many of them.

He is a Democrat so  normal rules do not apply.

 

For example we had major TDS issues about migrant children, Biden doing it on an industrial scale and crickets.

The level of distress among migrant boys and girls held by the U.S. government at a tent city in the Texas desert has become so alarming that they are constantly monitored for incidents of self-harm, panic attacks and escape attempts, people who worked at the federal site told CBS News.

Some children held at the large tent complex at the Fort Bliss U.S. Army base have required one-on-one supervision 24 hours a day to ensure they don't hurt themselves. Others have refused to eat or spend most of their days sleeping on cots. Workers said they saw migrant girls and boys with cut marks on their wrists and arms.

Federal officials became so concerned about migrant teens harming themselves that they banned pencils, pens, scissors, nail clippers and regular toothbrushes inside tents housing hundreds of children, according to an internal document. Workers at the site said they were even instructed to remove the metal nose clips from N95 face masks.

Interesting. Too bad Al Franken didn't know that. Or Anthony Weiner. Or John Edwards. Or Gary Hart. Or Gavin Newsom. Or John Conyers.

So what. Nothing to see here.

Have no problem with an all-white club. Problem is with any club that rejects anyone due to race. THAT...is BS.
