The event was held by Democratic and Republican precinct committee members from the small north-Idaho town of Kendrick on Monday night,. It was for House and Senate candidates from the local district, including Foreman; his Democratic opponent, Julia Parker: Republican Rep. Lori McCann; and her Democratic opponent, Carter-Goodheart.
“I pointed out that just because someone hasn’t personally experienced discrimination doesn’t mean it’s not happening,” she said. “I was making my statement, and then he shot up out of his seat and said, 'I’m so sick of your liberal . Why don't you go back to where you came from?'” In his Facebook post, Foreman called the incident a “quintessential display of race-baiting” and said the Democratic attendees made personal attacks and “proclaimed Idaho to be a racist state.”
During the exchange at the forum, Parker and McCann both said, Foreman stood up and yelled after Carter-Goodheart's response.McCann said Carter-Goodheart's description of the incident matched her own recollection. “I really appreciate that about the people who are running, specifically Lori McCann,” she said. “She's my elder and I appreciate her and her commitment to our community. We do have a big difference in our values and what we want to do for our communities, but she checked on me and I checked on her, and that was the right thing to do.”
