Most libs would immediately apologize and surrender if pressured by the woke mob to cancel their membership at one of the most exclusive, all-white beach clubs in the country. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D., R.I.) is not most libs, he’s the worst kind.
Whitehouse, who was elected to a second term in 2018, might have a difficult time if his name were on the ballot this year—when politicians and commoners alike are being canceled for running afoul of “woke” culture. His refusal to renounce his ties to Bailey’s Beach Club in Newport, R.I., might be considered problematic AF in some circles, especially given that he promised to cancel his membership back in 2006.
Local journalists confronted Whitehouse after learning that he resigned from the club in 2010, but transferred his ownership shares to his wife, Sandra Thornton. As a result, “Mrs. Sheldon Whitehouse” became one of the largest shareholders in the exclusive club, alongside prominent members of the Vanderbilt and Astor families.
Whitehouse refused to back down, telling GoLocalProv.com that while he thought “it would be nice if [Bailey’s] changed a little bit,” he was not in a “position” to make those decisions. “I will take that up privately,” he said, before refusing to comment further.
He continued to defend his family’s membership in the all-white private Bailey’s Beach Club in Newport, GoLocalProv reports.
Senator Whitehouse said: “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 the issues.”

Considering his long history of promoting social justice and racial equality, this statement exposes the Dems and their hypocrisy!
FACT!
IIRC Senator Whitehouse was one of the nastiest senators during the many hearings that were attacking President Trump. What a hypocritical piece of garbage.
So were 4th of July fireworks. This dood needs to change his lifestyle today.
hypocrite
What’s the big deal here? There are plenty of senators and congressmen who belong to a private all black club. No white members allowed.
Perhaps you’ve heard of it. The Congressional Black Caucus.

What a total sneeze move. Whitehouse is one of the worst of the worst. He’s the Senator that wanted to prosecute anyone who questioned global warming using RICO statutes.
Whitehouse’s..privilege/snort
Literally no one cares. He is a liberal
“alongside prominent members of the Vanderbilt and Astor families.”
The Vanderbilt family? Any of them an anchor on CNN?
First off, I don’t believe there is a true “all-white” club.
Only way is if there was some “Gentleman’s Agreement”.
Not sure Ilike goindown the liberal approach to things.
WHITEhouse!? And why hasn’t this racist changed his racist, discriminatory name?
I’m reminded of the scene from See no Evil, Hear no Evil when Richard Prior’s character’s sister is asking why he needs to act like he can see and he makes one of the best outpourings of sarcasm ever in movies.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, (D., R.I.), is a role model of the Elite/Rich White Democrats and their life styles versus the rest of America.
“Long traditional” racism is the kind liberals would least tolerate, but he knows he can get a pass, just like Cuomo, Clinton, Northrop, Kerry, Byrd and countless others. Democrats are not accountable for their hypocrisy.
The senator is still heading the investigation into fart references in Justice Kavanaugh’s HS yearbook.
This from 2017. Whitehouse is mentioned and it claims his and his wife’s families have been members for generations.
“Exclusive Bailey’s Beach Club Calls Police on 3 High School Students’ Hot Dog Stand”
Somehow I can hear one of the members uttering this line from The Three Stooges’ “Hoi Polloi” : “Stop this instant, you disgraceful vagabonds!”
Shouldn’t White people be allowed to have safe spaces too?
