'Beyond the pale': Tribal leaders respond to Sheehy's comments on Native Americans

Comments made by millionaire businessman, military veteran and Republican U.S. Senate candidate Tim Sheehy are drawing national attention, following a leaked recording of Sheehy making remarks at the expense of Native Americans.

Last week, the Char-Koosta News published a story exposing questionable racial comments Sheehy made at fundraisers last November.


The publication received the audio recordings from a source wishing to stay anonymous. They shared those recordings with NBC Montana.

“Great way to bond with all the Indians is to be out there while they are drunk at 8 a.m. and you’re roping together,” Sheehy said at an event in Shelby on Nov. 6, 2023.
