    “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.

      *Y’all are some funny misreaders. I don’t support him, I’m just saying these idiots don’t care about the state. Focusing on state for some reason is weird.

        It isn’t, but to be fair, it absolutely does add an additional layer of irony that they weren’t even born there.

        The point is the hypocrisy. Telling someone to go back where they came from in a place where you aren’t from either is hypocritical as fuck.
