Montana Republican U.S. Senate candidate Tim Sheehy has been caught on tape making racist comments about Native Americans. Sheehy’s remarks were first reported by the Char-Koosta News, the official news publication of the Flathead Indian Reservation, which obtained audio clips of Sheehy at campaign events last November.

Tim Sheehy: “Great way to bond with all the Indians being out there while they’re drunk at 8 a.m.”

In more racist comments, Sheehy joked that members of the Crow Tribe would “let you know whether they like you or not, there’s Coors Light cans flying by your head.” Montana is home to eight federally recognized tribes with more than 70,000 Native Americans of voting age. Political action committees have spent more than $44 million on Montana’s Senate race, where Republicans hope to unseat Democrat Jon Tester in November.
