Scott being the first African-American Senator since Reconstruction. Let me guess. THAT Senator was a DemocRAT.

You would be wrong. Firstly, Tim Scott IS the first black NC Senator. Second, all blacks elected to congress during 'reconstruction' were Republicans. All of them. That is why the Demon Rats like to use the phrase, 'The first black elected to X, since Reconstruction.

This is the kind of stuff the Republican Party should be doing instead of trying to get RATs to apologize or express some form of shame. It'll never happen.

We (that is, they) should use these opportunities to educate, enlighten and inform.

But, then, we ARE talking about the Republican Party. Not exactly known for their ability to fight. Unless it's with a fellow 'Puke or a Tea Partier.
