Not only is Foreman an ignorant racist dickhead, but he also seems to be angling to beat out Brian as employee of the month at Chotckies.

She should set up a camping tent on his front yard just to piss him off even more

Did anybody–using profanities or otherwise–explain how “indigenous” works? Or maybe he’s a student of the Bering Land Bridge theory, so he was going WAY back and was suggesting she re-cross it?
Or…he’s just a raging asshole.

As a Chicago area resident, I’m completely unsurprised to see Lake Forest as this guy’s birthplace. Michael Jordan had his home there (and still for sale - see the recent BB article on that) and it’s probably one of the worst (lower priced) places there. The city is a glaring red in the sea of blue Chicago area and burbs.
In general, for those of us in the “not-moneyed” category, Lake Forest are considered a bunch of high on their own supply rich wankers.

Perhaps he thinks that she should go back to the “rez” and stop meddling in white people’s politics.

I appreciate that the photo crops out that stupid f!cking arm band from the 20th century.
I for one look forward to the day that stupid red hat and stupid red tie are as forgotten and reviled as that stupid f!cking red arm band.
Vote blue as if your life depends upon it!
Because it does.

Possible, although I suspect there’s a decent number of (non-decent) people who don’t consider reservations sovereign territory, so “back to where you came from” wouldn’t include land they think that white people also own.

This guy can fuck all the way off.

Plus there’s the issue that in an ancestral sense reservations aren’t the places where most indigenous people “came from” so much as the places they were forcibly moved into.

I’m sure he isn’t concerned with the details of where she is from, he just knows it isn’t America because that was created by God for white people.

If this wasn’t so deadly serious, the irony of his outburst would be hysterical.
Bet he claims he is a good Christian as well. Ahh, I see he does indeed and holds himself up as an arbiter of “God’s word” as it applies to government.
We have frighteningly stupid and evil people in positions of power.

The correct response is to ask “where do you think I come from?”

worse than that, he’s a bully. he’s using his position of power to shout down and threaten someone who challenged him.
being a jerk is one thing. targeting specific people with verbal abuse and threats – whether explicit or implied – is a completely different thing.

No. That gives him more airtime. As in the Harris-Trump smackdown, the correct response was not to engage with the hateful statement and win some rhetorical victory. It was not a good faith statement and should not be treated as such, anymore than the ‘eating pets’ or other stupidities were.
The correct response is what this person did, which was point out the hatefulness of the statement and move on.
Any time you challenge someone like this dickwad or Trump on their statement it just gives them more opportunity to flood the zone with shit. Name it for what it is and move on, don’t give him an inch.
