It's real: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/idaho-state-senator-tells-native-american-candidate-back-114521648

It's crazy that someone can say racism doesn't exist and tell others to go back to where they came from in the same speech.

R-Moscow is a cherry on top.

Let's be 100% clear here, the order of operations were:

No, racism is not a problem in our state.

I'm so tired of you Democrats and your woke ideology about racism!

You should go back to where you came from!!!

Specifically speaking to a NATIVE woman.

It's often said that if you don't think racism is a problem, it's because you've spent your life on the benefiting end of that equation. I'll never begrudge someone for being lucky enough to not have to suffer from racism. That's a problem to be solved with education. But the difference between being an ignorant, lucky beneficiary, and an active oppressor fighting to maintain this terrible status quo is stark.

“Okay, I’ll do that as soon as you move out of where I can from.”

Sounds like this guy needs to back where he came from, and back where he was before he came there too, and so on and so forth until he ends up back at elementary school history class.

How many consecutive hours of Teletubbies would you have to watch in order to be in the right state of mind to cook up that statement, against that ethnicity, on that continent?

I'm guessing he didn't know she was Native American and just saw a non-white person and assumed non-white=immigrant. Never mind that even if she were of Asian or Latin descent it's entirely possible her family had been American for generations.

He was trying to use the ol' reliable argument of "if you don't like it here then you can go back to where you came from!" Except he forgot about Native Americans.

A pile of sentient filth crawls out of a sewer somewhere, and first thing conservatives want to do is make it into a State Senator.

How surprising.

From his Idaho GOP page: his number one priority is to remove rape and incest exceptions.

Issue 1 . The top issue for Idaho is to abolish the unnecessary, harmful and wasteful curse of abortion. I will introduce legislation that eliminates the current affirmative defense for having an abortion in accordance with state guidelines. The only exception to the prohibition on abortion is to save the life of the mother.
