Republican Senator Dan Foreman stormed out of a bipartisan event after accosting another candidate, a Native-American woman, in a racist outburst.
The forum, a "Meet Your Candidates" event, was organized by both Republican and Democrat representatives. The event took place at VFW hall in Kendrick, Latah County, allowing members of the community to ask candidates questions about their stances directly. Only 3 candidates answered questions from the crowd, but all 6 Republican incumbents, as well as their Democratic competitors, attended the event.
