The Ugly Reaction to Tim Scott's Speech Is Telling

South Carolina Senator Tim Scott gave a competent Republican response to Joe Biden's mendacious speech to congress this week.

Take MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, who argued that Scott's speech, in which the senator dared praise the Trump administration for its work on vaccines, was "Delivered from a planet where facts don't matter." It's almost perfunctory at this point to make such claims, whether there is evidence or not.

Scott's most controversial statement, allegedly, was to contend that, "America is not a racist country." All the usual suspects took to social media to mock the senator for simultaneously contending that the nation wasn't racist and pointing out that he had personally experienced bigotry.

Scott never alleged that racism was nonexistent in America.

Scott wrote a police-reform bill that Democrats such as Harris, Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin had shut down using the filibuster, which they now call a "Relic of Jim Crow.".

In any event, at CNN, political analyst Van Jones maintained that Scott's message "Was nonsense" and that the senator had lost African Americans "By the tens of millions" by denying what everyone knew was true about the United States.

Is Harris spinning "Nonsense" as well? Is Harris losing "Tens of millions" of black voters for saying the obvious? If not, why not? Or are liberals simply trying to smear Scott as a quisling because they're worried about his appeal?
