If Sheldon Whitehouse Were Host Of ‘The Bachelor,’ He’d Be Groveling For His Job By Now
June 23, 2021 By Kylee Zempel
While former host of “The Bachelor” Chris Harrison scans the classifieds for a job listing and updates his resume for the first time in 20 years, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse is sitting comfortably in two places: Congress and a whites-only beach.
When a local news station asked Whitehouse this week about whether white-only exclusive clubs such as Bailey’s Beach Club, where the Whitehouses are longtime and active members, should “continue to exist,” the Democratic senator shrugged it off. In lieu of a real answer, Whitehouse simply said “it’s a long tradition” in his state.
“It’s a long tradition in Rhode Island and there are many of them, and we just need to work our way through the issues,” Whitehouse said.
Given that the senator, his wife, and their families have reportedly been members of the club for decades and that the couple is also one of the biggest shareholders in the all-white club, Whitehouse presumably plans to “work through the issues” on the Newport beach with his pasty white legs kicked up in a chaise lounge and a stiff drink in his hand. While Whitehouse lectures Americans on “systemic racism in its many forms,” his wife embodies one of those forms, reportedly spending “most summer days” at the beach club, soaking up the sun and segregation.
