He should lead by example. Tho we don't want him over here.

This guy is almost certainly a cross burner. The article seems like it's downplaying the fact that it wasn't the question "do you think discrimination exists in Idaho" that made him angry, it was this:

“[J]ust because someone hasn’t personally experienced discrimination, doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Racism and discrimination are real issues here in Idaho, as anyone familiar with our state’s history knows,” the statement read. “I highlighted our weak hate crime laws and mentioned the presence of the Aryan Nations in northern Idaho as undeniable evidence of this reality.”

He probably felt called out by the mention of the Aryan Nation groups. I can't imagine any other reason why he'd suddenly lose his shit unless he felt called out.

Dude told a member of the Nez Perce to go back to where she came from. They're from Idaho. Dude. I hate my home state but this is a low bar.

They're from Idaho.

Bonus points: the guy is from Illinois.

If only they were still this easy to spot

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 12 points 1 day ago

I saw a perfect response for that recently: The bar was so low it was a tripping hazard in Hell; yet here you are, limbo dancing with the devil.

Wow, this guy's voting record and the bill's he's sponsored read exactly how you'd imagine too.

He was in the Air Force 30 years, was a commercial pilot, and a cop, and none of those jobs ever seemed to manage to teach him to manage the mildest level of stress, judging by his past news stories. What a delicate individual.

Idk maybe we could do a little forced decolonization, as a treat.

Pretty ballsy for a European-American

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago

For those wondering, 'Latah county, Idaho'. Foreman is a state senator.

[-] pyrflie@lemm.ee 15 points 1 day ago

It's not surprising either for Latah county or Idaho.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

unfortunately he can't. the portal to the Shit Plane has closed. The odor was.. profound. so now, access is by way of hell, and unfortunately, hell won't grant him a visa.

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 19 points 1 day ago

Wow, Illinois has really let itself go, but I can also see why they might not want him back.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago
