Tim Scott has accused the left of hypocrisy following their attacks on his Wednesday night rebuttal of Biden's speech to Congress saying the slurs left him saddened, but more convinced than ever that he was right to be a Republican. The South Carolina senator was pilloried on Wednesday night and Thursday for delivering the traditional rebuttal to the president's remarks. Scott, the only black GOP senator, was mocked on Twitter as 'Uncle Tim', a play on the 'Uncle Tom' racial slur, used to describe black people who were too deferential to whites. Twitter took 12 hours to remove the term from its trending list, and on on Thursday night Scott asked where the left-wing outrage was at the racial slur. 'It is really saddening to see that what the left is doing is fighting bigotry with bigotry,' Scott told Sean Hannity on Fox News. 'They have expose their hypocrisy and their true motivation. It has nothing to do with ending prejudice. It has everything to do with claiming or getting more power. 'I have never seen such power grab and using people in such a despicable way.'

Scott also defended the GOP-backed Georgia voting bill, blasting Democrats for lying about the controversial legislation and labeling it 'mainstream.'
The South Carolina Republican started out his remarks, delivered elsewhere in the U.S. Capitol, by saying Biden 'seems like a good man,' and adding that his 'speech was full of good words.' 'But President Biden promised you a specific kind of leadership. He promised to unite a nation. To lower the temperature. To govern for all Americans, no matter how we voted. That was the pitch. You just heard it again,' Scott said. 'But our nation is starving for more than empty platitudes.'
Scott blasted Biden and the Democrats for 'pulling us further apart.'
Scott, who is facing re-election in 2022, said that it was a depressing spectacle. ‘It is really disheartening to see the left response, and frankly even Twitter’s response to racism and racial slurs. If it comes from the left, and must be okay according to Twitter’s response 12 hours later.’
Scott said he was confident there would soon be a backlash to the paternalism of the left. ‘What we are seeing happen is this response from good-intentioned people who happen to be black, who happen to be Hispanic, who happened to be white, who happen to be Asian, rising up and saying you won’t tell me what to think. I’m going to decide that for myself. There is a coming backlash to this liberal oppression that is becoming front and center.’
“Sinners calling the righteous to righteousness.” - Abraham Lincoln
I have been waiting for the backlash of any kind and still waiting.
Woke - fighting perceived racism with actual racism.
Never heard that quote by Lincoln before. Won’t forget it though.
Exactly!!
When I was a kid in the 70’s, and someone would call you a name? The response was, “In know you are but what am I?” Kinda the same going on today in what is supposed to be the adult world.
It’s not racist when Dems call blacks the N word.
Also:
Woke = JOKE
Woke = Limited I.Q.
Woke = Hypocrisy
Woke = Ignorance to facts
Woke = Hatred towards those who don’t think like you
Woke = Desire to spark controversy
(to name a few)
Their hypocrisy has been exposed for a very long time. They don’t care. Okay, the hypocrisy is exposed. So what? So, is the media going to suddenly start hammering themselves? No! They will just ignore it. Again. Less “my good friend and colleague” less “it’s wonderful to be back on your show.” More “you’re just lying.” More Donald Trump, less Kevin McCarthy.
Not true. They're bigots, promoting bigotry, by lying about others' imaginary bigotry.
the fact that Rs are talking about race shows that they are losing...
In truth friend, we are ALL losing at this point :(
