Rank Hypocrisy: NAACP, CBC, Liberal Media STILL Silent on Dem Senator’s Membership in All-White Beach Club

Uh-doi. Rhode Island’s Sheldon Whitehouse.

“Jewish, yes. Blacks, not really.”

I realize that this may come as a shock to you, but the rather lispy junior senator from The Plantation State has been a member of an all-white Newport beach club since 2017.

As it turns out, Whitehouse has quite publicly whined of “systemic racism” in the United States, but it turn out that his membership in the Bailey Beach Club, which also just so happens to have zero black people within its membership.

Hold on to your hat, but besides the lapdog liberal media being predictably compliant, both the CBC (Congressional Black Congress) and the NAA(L)CP has somehow managed to completely ignore the breaking news.

As reported by Breitbart.com;

Both the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the Congressional Black Caucus were radio silent on Monday after news broke that Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) defended his membership to an elite, all-white beach club.

Breitbart News reached out to both the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus for comment regarding Whitehouse’s extra-curricular activities. Neither organization responded.

Whitehouse, who decried systemic racism following the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor, has frequented Bailey Beach Club for decades, GoLocal Providence first reported. While the 124-year-old club can’t legally mandate that its members be “all white,” its lack of diversity was first documented back in 2003 in the New York Times:

Diversity, of course, has made scant inroads on the Newport of Bailey’s Beach, whose membership profile might be defined less by who people are than what they are not. “Jewish, yes,” Audrey Oswald, a lifelong member replied, when asked about the club’s demographic composition. “Blacks, not really,” Ms. Oswald added[.]

Whitehouse defended his Bailey Beach Club membership, officially known as the Spouting Rock Beach Association, to a reporter on the eve of Juneteenth National Independence Day.

“It’s a long tradition in Rhode Island and there are many of them and I think we just need to work our way through the issues, thank you,” Whitehouse said when the reporter asked him if a wealthy, all-white club like Bailey’s should still exist in 2021.
