Liberal Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island is defending his decision to remain a member of an all-white exclusive club in his state, explaining that it’s one of many “traditions” and pledging that the club is working to expand to minorities.“I think the people who are running the place are still working on that and I’m sorry it hasn’t happened yet,” he said in response to a question from a reporter at GoLocalProv.com.Pressed for further explanation, Whitehouse added before being rushed away by a staffer, “It’s a long tradition in Rhode Island and there are many of them and I think we just need to work our way through

It's unfair to say that Shelly's club is "all-white."
During the summertime - - most of the members have various shades of brown skin. And besides which - - Shelly has already changed his last name to Blackhouse.

2weeks ago they were trying to cancel a B actress for winning a beauty contest at a club that was once exclusive but integrated by the time she won. This is straight up racist and the MSM has no problem with it.

WOW!
How is this not "white supremacy" and what is a US Senator doing investing in such an organization?
A legitimate MSM would be all over this story, and rightfully so.

Whitehouse goes to the club to get away from the BLM and ANTIFA members freely roaming the halls of Congress and the streets of many of the large cities. He goes there so he does not need to associate with the riff raff.

It's a big club and you ain't in it. Or as JoeBoy Biden would say, "If you're in Bailey's You ain't black."

Little Rhody is full of 'RATs. Whitehouse is part of the "culture" in a nutshell. Looney as Hank of Guam fame as well.

Hilarious,............ his bigotry is explained away with " it's tradition ". This jerk got caught but because it's "tradition ", it's O.K. And he's a democrat. Which in the eyes of the MSM makes everything O.K.

This is a bit of a stretch and I don't care if your a commie or a conservative. What next? His taxes and emails for the last 10 years? Hi NY and President Trump.

Ah, the old “everybody does it” excuse.
Compare this idiot to President Trump - when he bought Mar-a-lago, it was a whites only club. First thing he did was change that.

Sheldon is a perfect Democrat. He opposes “all white clubs” but belongs to one. He opposes “dark money” but is first in line to get it. He claims to be ethical, but he’s a total crook. Hypocrite to the nth degree.

Various Southern states used to say flying the Confederate flag was tradition, not racism. Whitehouse is using the same excuse for his membership in a bigoted club.

Another blatant hypocrite. That said, it’s a private club and I have always said that private clubs should have the right to select the members they want without a bunch of harassment from the woke crowd. Right or wrong, it’s their call.
