Boner Candidate #3: NATIVE AMERICANS ARE NOT YOUR PUNCHLINE SIR
Montana GOP candidate Tim Sheehy is facing backlash from media and The Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council after making some racial and stereotypical remarks about Native Americans. “My ranching partner and one of my really good friends, Turk Stovall, he’s a Crow Indian. We ranch together on the Crow [reservation]. I rope and brand with them every year down there — great way to bond with all the Indians out there, while they’re drunk at 8 a.m,” said Sheehy. “Every heel shot you miss you get a Coors Light can upside the head.” Many have come to Sheehy’s defense, saying he stands for the Crow Tribe and was just making a joke. However, The Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council has made a statement saying, “As a candidate for office in Montana, you have a responsibility to know and respect the Indian communities you are running to represent. You are also responsible for using your platform to advocate for that respect to your political supporters. Instead, you have chosen to disrespect the original Montanans as a strategy to pander to the non-Indian vote and political funders. Your remarks have only further alienated the tribal people from your party.”
