State Senator Tiara Mack tells us she won't apologize for her recent twerking video

Rhode Island State Senator Tiara Mack is standing by the viral TikTok of her twerking on a beach as a way to garner votes ... saying it's all about being an authentic version of herself.

Senator Mack tells TMZ ... her supporters know exactly what kind of politician she is -- one who's never going to become a fake politician, so she doesn't think an apology is in order for something that is authentically her.

She says she's never shied away from labeling herself as a "queer, Black woman," and hopes she can show the younger generation it's ok to be yourself and stay happy while making a difference in the community.

Senator Mack's comment section has been flooded with hate since posting the clip, and she says it has more to do with her as a Black woman than her as a politician -- seeing racial slurs thrown her way.

This Rhode Islander thinks she is fantastic.

The state republicans are climbing all over each other to question her professionalism and pushing thr "is this what we want our elected officials doing?" narrative. Apparently Fox got ahold of this too (big shock)

Of course their outrage has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Tiara Mack is a black woman. Nope, that's definitely not their problem. Uh huh.

to the voters. They will decide in RI if her twerking was good bad or indifferent.

I guess she knows her constituents. Wonder if she is planning on twerking while on the job ?
