Tim Scott Is An Enabler!

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), the only Black Republican in the current Senate gets real on his fellow GOPers. 

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post to criticize the Republican Party for its silence. Their silence on racism.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) admits to The New York Times he was an avowed white nationalist in a recent interview. King who has represented Sioux City and Northwestern Iowa has won nearly every election.

Until recently.

Republicans had distanced themselves from King after he was caught posting bullshit from prominent figures of the alt-right and European white extremists.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is considering censuring him. The Republican leadership is also concerned that his appeal to white extremists could be troubling for them.

Scott wrote the op-ed in response to the King controversy.

He started saying that Republicans had tried to reach out to minorities. He said that Donald J. Trump and Republicans have created opportunity zones for some of the country's most distressed communities.

He said that Republican accomplishments are erased by this distraction.He said that people's opinions similar to King's damage the Republican Party and conservative brand. It appears in his opinion to hurt the country as a whole. He said that his fellow Republicans want to be treated with fairness for some perceived slights but refuse to return the favor to those on the other side.

He said that every time Republicans entangle themselves in racism, he said that it affects the agenda.

"Some in our party wonder why Republicans are constantly accused of racism --- it is because of our silence when things like this are said. Immigration is a perfect example, in which somehow our affection for the rule of law has become conflated with a perceived racism against brown and black people."

He said that King's comments are not conservative. He said that Republicans should ridicule, restrain and remove remarks like such.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) ain't apologizing for his actions. 

"That is why silence is no longer acceptable. It is tempting to write King --- or other extremists on race issues, such as Black nationalist leader (Nation of Islam) Louis Farrakhan --- as lonely voices in the wilderness, but they are far more dangerous than that. They continue to rip the fabric of our nation, a country built on hope, strength and diversity. It is the opposite of civility and fairness that will lead only to more pain and suffering."

Okay, name one violent act inspired by Louis Farrakhan?

Matter of fact, what has Farrakhan said that cause death and destruction?

He hasn't. So I don't know why Scott would compare rhetoric from Farrakhan to those of King who will openly use violence against individuals who aren't protecting his "Western Civilized" culture.

Scott and Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) are the only two Black lawmakers in the Republican Party. They make up only the 4% of a political party that is 96% White.

King on his part denounced The New York Times and said he repudiates white extremism.

He dubbed himself an "American nationalist."

Whatever, dude!
