During the election, liberal Democrats used the race card in an attempt to label all Republicans as racist. But when Tim Scott won his Senate race in South Carolina, liberals on Twitter went ballistic, Twitchy said Tuesday, hurling racial slurs against Scott, even though he has the honor
of being the first African-American elected to the Senate from that
state and the first elected to a statewide office since Reconstruction.
"Tim Scott is a d**n Uncle Tom," one sore loser said on Twitter. "Yeah Tim Scott is the biggest Uncle Tom (sic)," another person said.
"You are not the first Uncle Tom," added another Twitter user. "Clarence Thomas wins."
"Nikki Haley wins in South Carolina," said a very angry Twitter critic. "Tim Scott Uncle Tom (expletive deleted) is back. Lindsey Graham too. UGH. I hate the world."
"Bitter liberal racism," Twitchy said. "It’s a recurring theme of the night."
Scott was first appointed to the Senate by Gov. Nikki Haley in December 2012 when Jim DeMint retired to head up the conservative Heritage Foundation. At the time, NBC played the race card while liberals online hurled racist epithets.
He served in the House from 2011-2013 and was part of the influential House Rules Committee. Prior to that, he served on the Charleston County Council for 13 years and spent two years in the South Carolina House of Representatives.
After defeating Democrat Joyce Dickerson on Tuesday, Scott became the first black senator to be elected by popular vote in the South, the Huffington Post said. He is also the first to be elected to both the House and the Senate. The victory also comes on the heels of claims by Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., that southerners are racist and sexist. No doubt, if Scott were a Democrat, the critics on Twitter would be singing a much different tune.
The hypocrisy shown by leftists is nothing new. As we have reported time and again, conservative blacks are often targeted with racial hate from those who claim Republicans are racist.

Hey... you remember in 2012 when Mia Love gave a keynote at the Republican convention.... she garnered comments like: token and Aunt Tom while some people defaced her wikipage with "house nigger" and "dirty worthless whore"
ReplyDeleteOf coarse MSNBC, normally looking for any racial inuendo whatsoever from Republicans reported nothing... Not to mention the silence from our President and his racial hatrid pit bulls over at the justice department.
