Yesterday The New York Post<\/a> reported that Rhode Island Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse has been given an ultimatum by the Rhode Island Chapter of Black Lives Matter – resign or cut ties with Newport-based Bailey\u2019s Beach Club (an exclusive all-white beach club) \u2014 or we will make your life miserable. The ultimatum was given by BLM Rhode Island on WLNE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll go to his club, we\u2019ll go to his office, we\u2019ll go to his home \u2014 wherever we need to go,\u201d one of the (BLM) chapter\u2019s directors, Mark Fisher, vowed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an issue that\u2019s not going to go away and Senator Whitehouse needs to address it, he needs to take it on,\u201d Fisher said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The threat comes more than a month after the state\u2019s junior senator denied being a member of the controversial club, and insisted it was not his place to force family members to quit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bailey\u2019s Beach Club also dismissed as \u201cinaccurate and false\u201d the characterization that its private membership was \u201call-white.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOver many years, Club members and their families have included people of many racial, religious, and ethnic backgrounds,\u201d the club told the Providence Journal,<\/a> saying it included a \u201cdiversity of view and background.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

The activist group is also not buying the senator\u2019s claim that the club was on \u201cthe right side of pushing for improvements.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter, you know what type of black people he brings in,\u201d Fisher said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis club is a proven racist club with exclusive ties to supremacy and exclusion, and that\u2019s something that\u2019s not gonna be tolerated by me, by my associates, my affiliates or my organization,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whitehouse did not respond to requests for comment, the outlet said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am reminded of Maxine Waters’ instructions to her audience to get in the faces of Trump supporters and let them know they are not welcome anywhere. This is the same tactic being used against a Democrat. If this illustrates nothing else, it illustrates that bullies can easily turn on their own. If you don’t want to be bullied, don’t participate in the\u00a0 bullying of anyone else.<\/p>\n
