As we mentioned in our post last week, a nasty slur trended on Twitter in the hours following Scott's address, and multiple white celebrities took it upon themselves to lecture Scott for not thinking the way he's "Supposed to" as a Black man.
In addition to the social media venom from a mob of blue checkmarks and random users, a Democratic official in Texas is under fire for deploying a slur against Scott, suggesting that he's black on the outside but white on the inside - an incredibly racist statement.
A Texas Democratic official is facing calls to step down from his role after he called Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., a racial slur.
"I had hoped that Scott might show some common sense, but it seems clear he is little more than an oreo with no real principles," Lamar County Democratic Party chair Gary O'Connor wrote in a now-deleted Facebook post, referring to Scott's rebuttal to President Biden's Congressional address on Wednesday...The first-term [GOP] congressman called on O'Connor to "Apologize and step down immediately" for his racially charged comments slur and asked the Texas Democratic Party and the NAACP "To condemn these words." Fallon also said the party "Should take swift action to censure him." The Texas Democratic Party didn't immediately return Fox News' request for comment.
The Democrats maintain a party of organized hatreds - they do not have a philosophy; they have an enemies' list - and they harbor no hatred as intense as the one they nurse for Republicans who are not white men, which is why Senator Scott has been dismissed as a man who "Only darkened the upper chamber's complexion," as one Washington Post columnist put it.
Senator Scott is not alone in this: Representative Elise Stefanik of New York, a Republican who at the time of her election was the youngest woman to serve in the House, is hated with a special intensity.
The attitude is distinctly proprietary...Tim Scott is a black Republican senator, as well as a Protestant, a South Carolinian, a businessman, a former county official, a graduate of Charleston Southern University, a bachelor, and much else.
