Remember the dustup last month surrounding Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse's membership in an "all-white" beach club?
Now a Black Lives Matter leader is warning that the movement is demanding the senator denounce and quit the club — or else.
What's the background?
Just before Juneteenth, the leftist senator was confronted about his longtime involvement with Bailey's Beach Club in Newport, Rhode Island, which has a reputation as a secretive private club for the wealthy that has a long record of a lack of diversity.
Instead of decrying the club's racial reputation, the liberal lawmaker defended his membership in the club.
