A racial incident involving the University of Utah women’s basketball team sparked a spirited debate in the Idaho Senate Thursday over a resolution to condemn racism in that state.
Politicians forget they are OUR EMPLOYEES. They need to be held accountable.
We need to make some noise letting them know that yet we talk about it , nothing is done and the Left continues to destroy this country!!! I’m sure Old man Soros was there or there in spirit donating largely to this cause. Sure he’s making sure all his voting machine are in perfect order to vote for Joe only just like almost 4 yrs ago. Our employees we pay to do as they please just aren’t doing a good or legal job. They should all be suspended till they stop acting like they own this country. They don’t. We The People Own this Country. Everyone that cares about what the lefts doing to our country should get out and Protest against the most crooked administration ever. This makes Watergate look like a comedy.
Do you think they are working for you? How naive!
@LamNguyen-fj2op that's the POINT. They are "SUPPOSED" to work for "we the people." 🙄😒🤦♂️
Did you see what the vote was on?
In Colorado... they made it legal to do business behind closed doors. People need to be fired. But the media says NOTHING to voters near election day. No "memory lane".... just milktoast passifying of anyone who "might" take away the monopolistic media's golden goose. Disguating. 🤮🤢
They walk out instead of doing their jobs, voting on a resolution. If they don't agree, then just vote no. How hard is that? Tax dollars at work.
Both sides do this and it should be grounds for impeachment
Because this is by desig to condemn them so they lose their seats in re-election as being racists, since they voted against a condemnation of racism. This is a hoax, political chess.
Nope. Because if they vote NO and it did happen, that would be a horrible thing. They need to wait for proof or real evidence beyond allegations, then vote yes or no.
@@filipeorr7821it's a lame excuse to avoid condemning racism. Plenty of racists are out of the closet, it's time to be honest for a change.
@@eamonhunt8781 I did my part. Will you condemn Wallace, Smollett and Microsoft, or are you just going to talk about others condemning racism?
You know you're in bad shape when condemning racism is a controversial topic.
It’s Idaho.
They're not questioning condemning racism, they just don't want to vote on something with no evidence provided, you know, what we would hope most reasonable people would do.
True it’s Idaho. And we all called jussie smollete before the nation caught up. Sorry we don’t all echo chamber think here
@@xc8487no evidence provided? There have been many racist incidents in state that's viewed as the white Christian supremacist homeland. The specific incident may still be under investigation, but it's hardly an isolated incident.
You elect children and dress them up like adults . Happiness is Idaho in your rear view mirror.
??? Are you moving to California?
@filipeorr7821 The fact that Idaho has the 6th-highest rate of gun suicides and gun suicide attempts in the U.S. might not be incidental to the overall quality of life in Idaho. But then again, red states are mostly dead states anyway -- braindead, that is.
Spoken like no Idahoan ever.
@filipeorr7821 what does California have to do with Idaho?? 🙄😒🤦♂️
@@LordRain1031Are you under a rock??? Masses of people fleeing California to Idaho. If you want to flee Idaho because it is not good, where are you going? California?
Seriously, what if’ing a racist incident doesn’t preclude voting against racism. That’s a no-brainer. Idaho: you need to vote in people with brains. Saying that calling a vote against racism is emotional and to wait for cooler heads to prevail…is “cooler head” a new code word for racist? Good to know!
They just didn't want to vote on something with no direct evidence provided, something we would hope every politician would do. There weren't even any charges filed yet.
Idaho doesn’t fall for every jussie smollete playbook the democrats throw anymore. Sorry
They don’t want to condemn racism. They’re racists. Why would they?
It’s Idaho.
Lol just because someone doesn’t condemn things doesn’t equal therefore they are. When you condemn things in todays day and age, like jussie smollete, tension rises in the community making everything think everyone is racist. Take your obvious agenda back to the blue states
I'm grateful to Idaho Lt. Governor Scott Bedke (R), a BYU alum, leading the way to call the Idaho Senate to vote on condemning racism. I worked for Idaho Governor Phil Batt (R) in the 1990s and he was a fierce advocate for human rights. The vote should have been an easy one. According to published press reports: "The team’s coach, law enforcement and county officials reported that a group in trucks revved their engines at [University of Utah] team members, who were staying at the Coeur d’Alene Resort and walking to and from a restaurant for dinner, and yelled racial slurs at them, including the N-word. One of the trucks had a Confederate flag, according to the police report obtained by the Idaho Statesman."
In the world of cell phone cameras….🙏🇺🇸
I'm sorry but all of this info came soley from the players no one else.
@@Denozo88What’s your point? No witnesses other than the players doesn’t make it not true. ??
really shocking, considering how beholden all of (R) are to a traitor.
Really? A resolution condemning racism...why would it even matter whether the incident that precipitated the resolution was true or not?
Big government lawlessness and tyranny even in Idaho?!? America is truly lost.
A police report is the start of an investigation - not necessarily a statement of an actual incident. Cooler thinking should be the rule !
Cooler thinking ? So what do you think actually happens if they pass this declarative resolution. It's not some type of disaster if passed. Nothing at all happens and there are zero consequences to anyone if it does. It isn't a law .
@@mizzury54how do you know what the effect of this is? It's not the government's job to jump on police reports and choose a side. Why? Because our court system is one of presumed innocence. Meaning if the police report results in a court case then the accused quite literally will have grounds to dismiss the case because it lacks the basic necessity of a fair trial. It's not that hard. This is a political trap. It's a waste of precious legislative time, and it's a violation of due process. Apparently it's also a violation of the right to association as well. Being that they forced members by lock and key to participate.
Passing an official judgment on a case that has yet to be heard in court is a violation of due process and grounds for dismissal.
@@ILikeFreedomYoNo it’s not. It is not a court of law and there is no consequences for the resolution. No one’s due process is violated.
@@Dan-ge1pzthe resolution is directed at a specific incident. If the incident ends up in court then it will be dismissed or be a violation of the rights of the accused. The resolution is absolutely unnecessary because laws are already a statement of public ethics. If a law is broken then it is already on record that the legislature is in opposition of that behavior.
If this was a vote against antisemitism, this question of credulity would not even be asked, and no one would have left the chamber before the vote. Hate is hate. Vote against hate.
Except there's a 9/10 chance this didn't happen and the players are making it up AGAIN.
I think that you're wrong.
@@crucisnh I think that you are wrong
@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat But it did
@@TanukiOfficial They already did this story. It was volleyball last time. It turned out to be a complete hoax.
Nice to know rhe STATE senate is ALMOST CERTAINLY as useful at the federal Senators, who are more famous for NOT SHOWING UP, OR EVEN BOTHERING TO VOTE.
Sounds like time to clean house?
The racism is NOT fake! RACISM, IS VERY PROMINENT IN IDAHO.
This is what they should do with the feds make them stay until they worked it out senators and congressmen allof them
Yeah. Who's the atty. general?
@@Paratrooper.3695a white guy for sure!!
Kidnapping anybody?
I can file a police report and put literally whatever I want in it. That is a ridiculous argument.
you can. but if not True. it is a Crime to File False Police Report.
@@deadfisfhalequin2304that MIGHT have been the case at one point
@deadfisfhalequin2304 right now they are not even waiting to see if what was said in the police report is real. That's why they walked out. Imagine making laws off of something that has not been definitively proven one way or the other. If they vote no and it turns out to be true, then they look bad. If they vote yes and it turns out to be false then the resolution would have no ground to stand on but still have to be followed.
@@christopherrogers303Wrong, the resolution is NOT CONDITIONAL TO THIS EVENT. It is a blanket condemnation of racism. The bill does the following: "denounces acts of racism and commits to eradicating the conditions that allow racial animus and undue prejudice to persist in Idaho" Even IF this specific incident they talk about turns out false there are COUNTLESS acts of racism every year in almost every part of the world, especially America. Just because ONE report MIGHT be flase you can't invalidate ALL other racism's existence. Thjis bill could be voted on WITHOUT this racist event, so it being true or false is irrelevant. Don't be an agent of white supremacy.
@MindWack having read the document, seven out of twelve paragraphs of it is based around the incident. Only the last five paragraphs talk about racism in general and denouncing it. It is a word salad that does not generate any change, only talks about it. There was nothing in this document that made it worth ramrodding through by suspending senate rules and invoking the Call of the Senate. Do not be an agent of virtue signaling.
question, question, question then askfor proof and sources. ppl lie
Without credible evidence its idiotic to vote on this. And what is the vote supposed to accomplish? That guy comes across as a typical useless doosh politician….the kind we have way too many of.
Sounds fishy
Many police reports have been filed in many cases like this. Only to find out they were untrue. It would be prudent to make sure the facts and evidence is founded before action is taken. That would be the wise thing to do. It's always a bad idea to react out of emotion rather than solid facts.
How many were untrue? Give us the actual number of false reports. You also didn’t provide the source of your data, so we can fact check your claim.
Yeah, the video coulda showed anything! Who knows what you saw?
@@dianaprince3176 You can read the news ... and please note. All I was inferring was just because a report was filled. Doesn't make it so. The last time this was a alleged by a women's team. Turned out to be false. In America we presume innocent. People are calling for action without an investigation.
You feel it's a conspiracy, huh. A entire basket ball team is making false police statements. Your MAGA hat is showing.
you can. but if not True. it is a Crime to File False Police Report.
Freedom of Speach? Intellectual Integrity? Forcing a vote without FACTS
THEY ARE LEGISLATORS, THEY SHOULD ALREADY KNOW THE FACTS!
They can vote no and bring their argument to the floor. Hiding doesn't help anyone. How does saying nothing show intellectual integrity? I would rather hear an intellectual debate.
Speech. Interesting that you are questioning intellectual integrity.
@@laura-gp3gva condemnation doesn't help anyone either. It's just words. This is stupid. Every single person who was locked in that chamber, should push for kidnapping and false imprisonment charges. They aren't required to vote on legislation, but they get locked in the chamber, until they vote on a goddamned statement of condemnation, with zero evidence that such condemnation is warranted.
@@OneTruePhreak this is just another example of BAD governing. All the way around.
Well there you have it. The legislators were FORCED to vote. Im sure THAT solved the problem. 😅
oh noooooo, legislators who are paid using OUR tax dollars had to do their ONLY job? The horror.
@@MindWack Cuz everyone knows we don't have enough laws.. It doesn't matter what they say, just give us more! More laws can fix everything!
@@beestoe993you lost the plot. This wasn't a bill to create law, it was a condemnation of racism.
@@Navybyrde "I" lost the plot? Are members of the Senate paid to waste their time on an empty resolution that "resolves" nothing?
Democrat legislators were forced to vote. Fixed it for you.
Oh thank god, I don’t think I could live another day if they had not voted to condemn racism, this is what we pay them for!
It could be also that the voting on such a bill, happened at a time when our government was actively trying to divide us & it fit with their narrative which included accusations of racism all over the place. Like the obiden horror show, then they can say "oh we are so against racism". Like they are heros. I wonder if they're gonna vote against rape anytime soon. I'm interested to know if they dislike the idea of rape as much as they dislike the idea of racism.
😂
Children that look like adults.
Has everyone already forgotten about the BYU-Duke women's volleyball "racism" hoax from just 2 years ago?
Just like the numerous “ rape” allegations against politicians which disappear right after the elections especially if those allegations worked and the person lost the election
So a fake incident in another state two years ago means this current incident is fake? 😆🤡
@@dianaprince3176ummmm there should be MULTIPLE videos where this occurred. Why zero released? Why did none of those gen z girls have their phones out for a video?!? Red Flags.
EXACTLY @@joshtracy4441
My God, you people are so scared of racism being exposed that you complain about a resolution to condemn it! Nobody is being arrested or charged but deep down you know that there's a lot of racists in Idaho!To be honest the NCAA should have known better!@@joshtracy4441

Guilty until proven innocent
Guilty UNLESS... there's a BIG difference.
Who is and guilty of what criminal charge? This clip is about a state legislative resolution saying racism is bad. You seem to be confused or you shitposted without watching the clip first
@@dianaprince3176the resolution is in response to a specific incident. Meaning the legislature is now judging case by case who is and is not guilty. A violation of due process if the incident goes to court.
Right or wrong, this is not the business of the state. Their function is legislative and administration. Anything passed into law should only be done after considerable consideration and never in a knee-jerk fashion.
Voting to condemn racism is like being required to vote in favor of air. No one is in favor of racism. What they should vote on is opposition to make people vote on anything under duress.
Don't go to Idaho... Racism is all they have!
Actually, in Idaho, many are in favor of racism
If the first two sentences you wrote were correct there would be unanimous agreement with no hesitations. But also, clearly they are in favor of air. Hot air, to float a particular audience.
@@Shadowboost Well, it’s the same in NY but the direction is reversed.
If "no one is in favor of racism," why does it still exist?
So what, a police report was filed? And Me, too already showed just how trustworthy many women are in their 'testimony' Investigate first.
What does sexual harassment in Hollywood have to do with an Idaho state legislative resolution vote about racism?
Says the maga supporter…….Heaven forbid Idaho be against racism.
Not this “I believe her” ideology again. I thought we had got past that?
We never will get passed anything. Too bad we can’t scream racism and it be investigated. OMG!!
No doubt! Those days are long gone! Democrats done cried wolf way to many times.
ew, tell me you're a misogynist without TELLING me...
@@MindWack Moving on to the next label of course… One has to question anyone that doesn’t seek validation or confirmation regarding anything anymore. That’s what happens when evil “muddy’s the water”.
“Believe all women” unless they say something against a Democrat/ Communist.
It has come to this...and I believe it was a hoax
And when its proven not to be a hoax? My guess is you will say its free speech to threaten women in public and chase them out of your city?
@@malagrinderrinshar26it would be the 1st time in the last 30 yrs that actual racism occurred! Do you remember how many times we’ve had people use the race card, and then we find out weeks later it was a fabrication? More times than I can remember! Juicy, the girl that claimed she was beat up outside on a street at 2 am by a group of white guys, the college student that claimed someone wrote on her white board hanging on the door, and on and on and on
that is against the law. Everyone in the room could sue
Denial. How surprising.😮
Lol all over words get real . And get over it. What crime is freedom of speach.
All rights have limits, dingus. Threats are not protected speech under 1A and never have been. Neither is libel, slander or defamation. Middle schoolers learn all of this. Why didn’t you ever learn it?
@@dianaprince3176 no proff of a threat dear
@@dianaprince3176I remember "sticks and stones" as a child.
When the “free speech” main purpose is to sow fear into people? That’s the crime that needs to be addressed and the ones using it should always be held accountable. This wasn’t an LOL moment. You’re the one that needs to “get over it”.😡
@@forrestfallis8817, what’s “proff”? Oh, you mean “proof”!
Racism is the new 'R' word. I'm sick of it.
"There was a police report." Means absolutely nothing.
Idaho is Mississippi NORTH
I never understood why they spend time voting to condemn something. What actual difference does that make? You might as well vote to condemn murder and mean words.
It is deeper than that. The actual bill attempts to address systemic racism issues and expand social education on tolerance. It is not just a piece of paper that says "Racism = bad"
@@MindWack Well, if that’s true, I believe that’s even more fruitless and destructive. “Systemic” nowadays means theoretical. If it’s a racist law on the books, let’s point to it and get rid of it. I can get behind that. But if it’s a boogeyman for endless funding (there is no understood yet achievable goal to be met) and proselytizing critical race theory than no thanks. Or if it’s simply virtue signaling so they can appear morally elevated at the expense of the tax payer, it’s still a waste of time and resources.
@@McTaco It is an empty gesture, I can agree to that. But it doesn't create a tax burden on anyone, it doesn't really even change any existing policy or affect any operations. It is just an official condemnation of racism and a set of guidelines to try and reduce racism when it is identified. It is way for Idaho to basically say to America "Hey, we aren't a racist state, we do not condone the actions of the racists that happen to live here." Would it not be FAR better for EVERYONE to just pass the dumb thing and agree "racism = bad?" Rather than wasting tax dollars and acting like babies, storming out of their JOB?
@@MindWack I understand, it seems innocuous enough. However, (there is always a however, heh) imagine people asking , nay, demanding that you to formally denounce pedophilia. What are they implying about you and what are others to infer about you from that? That’s why I prefer them ignore obnoxious extra legislative movements rather than to take them seriously. Like it’s something that needs to be addressed. They are on government time. We all know that racism is bad. To give energy to this feigns that a healthy segment of the representative government doesn’t agree with that basic concept.
@@McTaco The main problem with your viewpoint is simply a matter of personal esteem. If someone asking (or even demanding) that you denounce an evil act makes you feel like they are implying you WON'T denounce evil, then that really says much more about you than them. If you AREN'T a pedophile or racist or whatever and you DO denounce those things, then it shouldn't be an inconvenience to simply say "Yep, I denounce those evils." Bending over backward to NOT denounce those things DOES give the impression you are pro-racism, etc. If your goal is to appear non-racist to the Libs then the easiest path of least resistance is just to agree Racism = bad.
What an empty gesture. In all seriousness, what does this accomplish?
A resolution was put forward for a floor vote and procedurally, the body must vote on it. Learn how state legislatures work.
So sick of this.
It's Idaho..of course it's racist.
And America is "not a racist" country.
Welcome to Idaho, please set your calendars back 200 years. Enjoy your stay.
we can all but see who wears those hooded sheets over their heads in the night.
It's time we let these slacker's know that they work for us !!
I left Idaho for this crap and more.
Have seen many instances where out of town people cry racism in Coeur d Alene . Don't come into town acting like you are better then locals you won't get treated like a entitled douche bag.
Or maybe CDA is loaded to the top with racists? I can name several in Post Falls, but maybe ten minutes on I-80 really changes folk.
Alittle defensive aren’t you? Angry?

As the father of a special needs child, the current financial situation gives me anxiety for the parents that don’t have a great salary like me. Their lives must be incredibly stressful
The Sargent of arms needs to arrest these .....
They're all involved in insider trading together. they aren't gonna "reprimand" or "arrest" each other.
Yes the Master at Arms should arrest the douche bag who ordered the doors locked. He violated several laws...
Sergeant. Not sargent. Way to show off that Idaho education.
Holding people against their will is kidnapping.
Don't take the witness statements and law enforcement investigation, diminish, and dispute the facts...
One senator voted against the resolution.
If it’s found to be a hoax, will the false witness be charged with hate crimes & racism?
Seems odd that Utah and Idaho would be at odds with one another,,,unless the people in question aren’t true Utah folks to begin with! The beauty of importing college athletes
Even the Idaho legislature doesn’t hide their racism by questioning that women’s basketball team. Outrageous. America takes note "if you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem."
Sounds like you think every accusation is a fact.

Why wouldn't we just condemn racism like isn't that a good thing to condemn Why is everybody all up in arms about voting to condemn racism I think we should I think that should be something that decent people do.
These lawmakers are not qualified to even take about this
Who is?
As long as Pulling the race card against white cops counts on this topic, cuz that nonsense needs to stop.
Things that never happened Vote no if you disagree Do your job
Only in America can they have such a discussion about condemning racism. They’re acting like they’re passing a law on the death penalty. So those against it are saying racism is ok?
What is wrong with these state leaders???
His haircut... you already know where he stands based on that! 😂
And how much are they paid to not do their job
My question is, why does any of them have an issue with voting on a resolution condemning racism. It's common decency to condemn racism and discrimination of any kind. But we're talking about Idaho now.
While I agree that they should do their job, I don’t understand how they can LEGALLY be forced to stay. If I did that I’d go to prison for kidnapping and enslavement.
I agree they can't be forced to stay but then they should be docked that time from their salary. No time in chambers for votes and debates no pay check.
It's in their own rules, that they established and agreed to when they took office.
Lock the doors to vote on a resolution that has no force of law but is merely an opinion. What a waste of time talent and money
Pretty sure thats kidnapping. Thats a felony. Have him arrested and charged
One more ‘This didn’t actually happen’ like the January 6 ‘peaceful tourist visit’ to the Capitol.
I will never visit Idaho or consider living there for fear racism towards my family as we are brown skin. 🌺 Aloha-
Idaho is a wannabe White Cristo-Fascist homeland. No surprise getting them to condemn Racism is like pulling teeth
Nailed it.
Just bc there’s a police report doesn’t mean it happened. I wouldn’t take police at their word anymore
We don’t need politicians to condemn anything to know right from wrong.
Nothing but legalizing control, not about race or speech😢
More of locking people in until a vote is made should be happening. Government needs to start doing their jobs
Isn’t holding someone against their will a felony?
What kind of state doesn't want to condemn racism? I'll be sure to never step foot is a racist state like Idaho
Who cares? Let Idaho manage Idaho's affairs. They do have news stations up there as well.
Why would it even be a question to vote for it?
Racist lawmaker "what if we condemn racism for no reason?"
Everyone on that team had a phone. No pictures of truck, of license plate? Please. Believe all women? Not on your life.

Seems like those two gentlemen that left the chamber are okay with racism.
Open, blatant racism is alive and thriving in Idaho and in this comment section. Smh
Idaho racist folks and many inside Utah are part of the KSL comment section and have been for a long time.
Racism is impeding others progress. Its literally just the other R word but with race as the vector. Saying vile words about another human being is almost absolutely not impeding anyone except the person saying the words.
I beg to differ. Been an Idahoan for 25 years and have never witnessed or experienced racism. It's an old false tale they believed North Idaho was all skinheads. It's not remotely true.
