(Not that Donald paid her, aside from changing the prenup, but got other to do it). Still, she is also a grifter at heart so that would never be enough and she has found many ways to augment her financial situation since then. ---

ID Republican wtate senator says at a “meet the candidates” roundtable that there is no discrimination in Idaho. Democratic House candidate says that’s not true and there’s a long history of white supremacism in Idaho including its having been the home of the Aryan Nations. Republican senator responds by telling the Democrat that her claims were bullshit and to go back where she came from, then storms out. Said Democrat is a Native American. > **[Senator tells Native American candidate to go back to where she came from,...](https://www.boisestatepublicradio.org/politics-government/2024-10-03/dan-foreman-racism-idaho-nez-perce-candidate-kendrick)** > > 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. ---
