Tensions rose during a bipartisan forum this week after an audience question about discrimination reportedly led an Idaho state senator to angrily tell a Native American candidate to “go back where you came from.”

Republican Sen. Dan Foreman left the event early after the outburst and later denied making any racist comments in a Facebook post. He did not respond to a voice message from The Associated Press seeking comment.

    It looks like you’re about to say something racist… Is it okay if I record it?

    “At least one party must give consent before someone can record an in-person conversation in Idaho”

    Can I record it before you deny it? Thanks!
