I wonder what political party he is affiliated with. It's really a mystery, isn't it?
Not wishing to make an unwarranted assumption, I looked up Sen. Foreman's political party. And yes, of course, he's GOP.
How does someone like this become senator?
Racists are allowed to vote and do so en masse
People in power usually aren't smart. They just have money from their parents or grandparents. This isn't a meritocracy. Idiots rule the world
Additionally, the dumb relate to the dumb (and are easily manipulated), hence why they get votes.
and there's only one way to get rid of them
Trick them in to thinking that the senate building is haunted.
Great idea! I’ll go make some spooky ghost costumes!
Great, now they're diverting all the tax revenue to churches to pay for exorcisms.
Don't read in to the fact that the priest receiving all the tax payer money looks like the senator but with a goatee, and you never see them in the same room.
I'm sure that'll work, provided there aren't any meddlesome kids about!
Really makes you question the youth vote.
Pretty sure the mystery gang would help out with such an operation. Remember they mostly dealt with rich people.
Protest votes.
“Idaho senator born in another state tells Native American congressional candidate from a tribe native to the state to “go back where you came from.”
It would have been a much wordier headline but relays a lot more pertinent information.
Idaho State Sen. Dan Foreman, a conservative Republican
Said this to
Trish Carter-Goodheart, a Democrat running for a House seat
Always use names. The veil of "a politician said" or "big company does" is too blinding. Name and shame.
Their ideology is a cancer
An ideology of "I won't listen to you because I'm motivated to oppress everyone else for my own gain," is, most definitely, going to make the world worse. And this will be entirely on purpose, and no one will apologise.
The person he said that to missed a great opportunity to say, "sure. Give me your house keys."
lol
Furthermore: lmao
Life imitates art, I'm sure I've seen this in a comedy movie at some point. I just never thought anyone would be dumb enough to say it in real life.
Surelly the right answer would've been "Go back to Europe".
(Mind you, as an European, please don't).
"Alright..." looks around at the country his people lived in for longer than white dudes lived in it "....Done, now what?"
You know what really aggravateses me is them immigants. They want all the benefits of living in Springfield, but they ain't even bothered to learn themselfs the langwich!
Moe Syzlak
Them: Done. Your turn.
This stupid fuck of a senator needs to go back to where he came from (sorry Illinois, you can’t just dump your garbage in other states like that)
Even better: she's from the Nez Perce tribe, who do still live in the general area they originally came from. Which isn't always a given for very violent and racist reasons.
So he doesn't come from there, his ancestors definitely didn't come from there, and hers very much did.
The irony has been palpable for over a century. Bizarre that we still accept it as a society
That's not the irony.
The irony is people flying the flag of violent traitors who fought a bloody war against this country while screaming that anybody who doesn't like it here should get out.
We desperately needed to let them leave back then, the country would be so much better.
Totally on brand. It will be funny one day for a Native American to say this to one of these racists.
They would.
