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!
So, is he a Racist Jim Crow loving White Supremacist Nazi or is he Married to one?

Yeah, and 150 years ago slavery was a long tradition too. One your predecessors endorsed seriously enough to fight a war over...
Looks like nothing has changed...
Sheldon’s a dick.
Whitehouse is not without scrutiny.
However, I am surprised there are still all-white private clubs in this country.
Maybe they could look into his inherited from his daddy FL plantation... a plantation! Which he ran into the ground and sold out of to quickly cover it up. Hilarious what a “Thurston Howell III” lib a@@hole this clown is and has been (never forget how he lambasted Judge Kavanaugh). His daddy being a large white noise State dept ambassador and screw up for years, and then had a son.
The Plantation:
El Destino— in Capps, FL (Jefferson County):

El Destino remained in the George Noble Jones family until 1919. It was then sold for $70,000 but kept its name. In 1937 it was purchased by Sheldon Whitehouse of New York. (the current Sheldon’s granddaddy).
George Noble Jones is the connection to Rhode Island (and the Beach Club the subject of the posting.

This guy: Charles S. Whitehouse - Sheldon’s daddy (check out how much he screwed up in the world)- all of them demonrats.

But , b b b b b ut he DID vote FOR Juneteenth! One more rotten a@@ demonrat fraud. Vote against it- Sheldon ole buddy— it would be in keeping with your “tradition”.
But then you never cared about our country’s history. Just ripping it off from Rhode Island, you and your buddy JoeBama.
What’s the problem. They installed a racist segregationist chomo as president. One of their favorites in senate was KKK member Robert Byrd. They are the party of anti-semites.
He needs to resign! Racist entitlement POS! If the Republicans were smart they would be calling for his resignation! But I doubt it they don’t have enough brains and courage to call him out on it.
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE NASTY!
More outright racism from a democrat.
Why are we not surprised?
What’s wrong with an all white club? Screw all you pigmented yah~hoos.
Next you will tell me that being white caused all the Chicago black folks to eat poorly and get fat and drink excessively and get diabetes.
That’s Joe Mancin to the right rear.
I believe that's the same argument Mississippi democRATs used in 1860 to defend the institution of slavery.
