Tim Scott's New Chapter!

Senator Tim Scott (R-South Carolina). He was picked to succeed controversial senator Jim DeMint. The first Black senator in two years and the first Black Republican in over 30 years.

South Carolina governor Nikki Haley appoints Congressman Tim Scott (R-South Carolina) to finish up the departing Senator Jim DeMint's (R-South Carolina) term. This will give the U.S. Senate its first Black senator since 2010. The last sitting senator was Roland Burris. Burris was the appointed senator to replace a then senator Barack Obama who went on to become our current President of the United States.

The first Black Republican to be a sitting member of the senate since Edward Brooke, the former senator of Massachusetts. Of coruse, the Republicans are likely going to play the race card as usual. They'll have this notion to say that the Democratic Party is the party founded of slavery!

Scott isn't married. Scott, a fiscal and cultural conservative, ran for Congress on a platform of reducing federal spending and taxes. Scott owns an insurance agency, and works as a financial advisor. He currently resides in Charleston, South Carolina.

If you want to dismiss this crap just tell them that Barack Obama is a Democrat. He is the first elected Black president. The Democrats seem to care about the lives of women, Blacks, Hispanics and those in the LGBT community. They're not enslaving civil liberties of individuals. The Republicans have tried their hardest to pass voter identification laws, drug testing legislation for entitlements (as a means to intrude on personal lifestyles), pass gay marriage bans (in believing that a same sex couple could ruin traditional marriage), and want to deport all undocumented workers (who haven't committed a major crime other than being here without proper documentation). The Democrats might think Blacks are criminals, but Republicans actually considered Blacks to be criminals. Democrats have more legislators who are Black. Republicans have one!

Senate-designate Tim Scott will be taking seating in January. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina) will be leaving the senate to become the president of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. He'll advocate more extremist views within the Republican Party and it's allies in the conservative movement.

Nikki Haley is the current governor of South Carolina. She was the Tea Party-endorsed candidate. She 's the first woman governor and person of color to be elected governor of the state. Her family are immigrants from India. She is an Indian-American. Bobby Jindal is the current governor of Louisiana. He's the first Indian-American to be elected governor of the state.
