A bipartisan forum in a small Latah County community took a turn when Republican Senate incumbent Dan Foreman stormed out of the event, following a racist outburst directed at a Native American candidate.
The senator is from Lake Forest, Illinois which somewhat ironically was an abolitionist town with several prominent members of the Underground Railroad living there. It has changed a lot since then and now is a wealthy conservative country club suburb of Chicago with barely 1% of its population being black.
