What is Senator Sheldon Whitehouses beach club called and where is it located?
DEMOCRATIC Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse who has long been fighting for social justice and against racism has been recently scrutinized for his decades-long membership in a private beach club that lacks diversity. Whitehouses private beach club is called Baileys Beach Club and its part of the Spouting Roch Beach Association. The club has been reportedly described as one of the most exclusive clubs in the US, according to GoLocal Providence. People were very keen to be members of this club, The New York Times reported in 2003. People kill to belong to the beach,'' Beth Pyle told the Times. Her twin sister was never able to become a member of the club. It has really driven some people crazy when they don't get in, Pyle said. 3 Both Sheldon and Sandras parents and their children would go to the club during the summer Credit: Getty  Sheldons wife Sandra is one of the biggest shareholders in the club. The club is located in Newport, Rhode Island, and has been a regular go-to destination for Sheldon Whitehouse and his wife and other members of their families, GoLocal Providence reported in 2017. Both Sheldon and Sandras parents and their children would go to the club during the summer to socialize and build their networks with some of the wealthiest families at the reportedly exclusive all-white club. Its a long tradition in Rhode Island and there are many of them and I think we just need to work our way through the issues, thank you, Whitehouse told the GoLocal Providence on Friday as he was reportedly walked away by a staffer. Aside from his recent comments on the clubs diversity, Whitehouse and his press team previously declined to comment on his club membership. 3 Whitehouse previously said that "it would be nice" if Baileys Beach Club changed a little bit Credit: Getty  He repeatedly refused to answer questions about his membership in 2017 when he was approached by GoLocal Providence.
