Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (RI) faced backlash after he defended belonging to an allegedly “all-white” private beach club in Rhode Island last week right before Juneteenth.
“Both Whitehouse and his wife Sandra as well as their families have been members of [the all-white private Bailey’s Beach Club in Newport] for decades,” GoLocalProv reported. “Whitehouse did transfer his shares in the club to his wife years ago, and she is now one of the largest shareholders in the all-white club. The club’s membership is a who’s who Newport, Palm Beach, and New York wealth.”
