Black Lives Matter Rhode Island is demanding that Senator Sheldon Whitehouse cut all ties with Bailey’s Beach Club (Spouting Rock Beach Association) and resign by next Friday or face protests from the organization.
“This is an issue that’s not going to go away, and Senator Whitehouse needs to address it. He needs to take it on,” the group’s Mark Fisher told ABC6 on Wednesday. “If he thinks we’re just going to forget about it, if he thinks that it’s going to get swept under the rug, it’s not.”
“We’ll go to his club, we’ll go to his office, we’ll go to his home,” Fisher said, “wherever we need to go.”
