After posting online that White Christians who adopt Native American Children are contributing to “genocide,” a Minnesota Democrat is being criticized.

According to Alpha News, Heather Keeler, Minnesota State Representative posted the following on her personal Facebook page: “I’m sick and tired of white Christians adopting babies and rejoicing.”

It’s a very sad day when this happens. This means that the genocide goes on.

The post said, “If you care about your babies, advocate against genocide.” Stop stealing babies from their parents and giving false hope that you are helping. White saviors make the worst!

Keeler is Native American and is an enrolled member in good standing of the Yankton Sioux Tribe. She posted a similar sentiment on her professional Facebook page, saying that stripping Native American children of their identity is a form of genocide.

Fox News Digital was unable to independently verify the post from her private account. The screenshot was taken by Alpha News. KVRR, a news station, said Keeler did not deny posting the post.

The Republican Party of Minnesota reacted to the comments and called the post a racist rant.

In a statement, David Hann, Chairman of the Minnesota Republican Party said that there is no place in political discourse for attacks against Minnesotans’ religions or races. “We condemn this hateful, extremist rhetoric in all its utmost severity and urge all Democrats to do so.

In the statement, prominent Democrats were named as those who “unambiguously denounce this hate speech instantly.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Wheeler but he did not immediately reply.

Wheeler is co-sponsoring a bill to “make improvements in the federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, which establishes child protective procedures and requirements for children who have been members of or are eligible for membership in a federally recognised Tribe.”

A press release stated that the bill “makes technical modifications and adds many provisions to the Minnesota Indian Family Preservation Act, (MIFPA), incorporating federal ICWA processes and requirements for voluntary or involuntary placement of child and permanent proceedings.”

The Supreme Court is considering whether to severely or extinguish the Indian Child Welfare Act, which was intended to protect Native American rights during state child custody proceedings. Tribal leaders have long supported it as a way to preserve their culture and families.
