Tim Scott Gives Hall of Fame Response to Joy Behar's Race-Based Attack as Larger Point Is Made –

  RedState   Few things terrify Democrats and their media allies more than a minority who dares to think differently and who chooses to call themselves a Republican. That goes double for Republican minority candidates for public office, and even more so for those seeking the presidency.

The left’s attacks on those candidates can be especially unrelenting and vicious, as we saw for instance in the 2016 GOP presidential primary race when Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Marco Rubio (Fla.) were hit with insulting accusations from the Usual Suspects, who suggested they were traitors to the Hispanic community because they refused to buy into Democratic dogma on issues like illegal immigration.

Sadly, we’re seeing the same thing happen as the 2024 GOP field takes shape, as we saw back in February when former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, fresh off of entering the presidential race, was informed by Woke, Inc. that she was trying to hide her Indian-American heritage because she’s been going by the name Nikki (her middle name) since she was a child and not her first name, which is Nimarata.

Not surprisingly, the Mean Girls contingent at “The View” planted the seeds for this line of attack months before Haley’s announcement with co-host and racial arsonist Sunny Hostin essentially accusing her of being a sellout, while suggesting Haley should “lean into being someone of color” as though someone’s race should be a focal point instead of their actual stances on the issues.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), also a Republican presidential candidate, has seen his fair share of similar despicable attacks over the years as well, with the MSM dutifully running interference. And during a segment on last Tuesday’s “View” program, the race-based attacks on Scott reared their ugly heads again, this time with co-host Joy Behar taking the lead.

“And [Sen. Scott is] one of these guys, who you know, he’s like Clarence Thomas, black Republican, who believes in pulling yourself by your bootstraps, rather than, to me, understanding the systemic racism that African-Americans face in this country and other minorities. He doesn’t get it,” Behar proclaimed.

“Neither does Clarence. And that’s why they’re Republicans,” Behar went on to say, while disrespectfully leaving out his title of “Supreme Court Justice,” which he more than earned.". . .

“Here’s what is dangerous and offensive to me, for every young child in America wanting to think for themselves, draw their own conclusions. What they’re saying to them is, ‘stay in your place, do not stick your head out because we’re going to tell you how to think so you never learned anything about what you should think. It is literally the dumbest, most offensive thing I’ve ever witnessed on TV to hear these millionaire TV personalities telling me how to live my life as a black man. But more importantly, suggesting to every child, stay in your place, follow my lead or you, too, will reap the same harvest of Tim Scott or Clarence Thomas or any other conservative who dares, dares to think for themselves.”
