An Idaho state senator is reported to have told a Native American candidate to “go back where you came from” during a candidate forum this week.

Tensions rose during a bipartisan forum this week after an audience question about discrimination reportedly led an Idaho state senator to angrily tell a Native American candidate to “go back where you came from.”

Republican Sen. Dan Foreman left the event early after the outburst and later denied making any racist comments in a Facebook post. He did not respond to a voice message from The Associated Press seeking comment.

      Well, is it causation or correlation though? And if causation are they morons because they are republican or republican because they are morons? Inquiring minds want to know!

      I think it’s more that holding Republican ideals is not a requirement to be a moron, but it helps.
