Tim Scott’s Senate campaign is doing what most political campaigns are doing right now and raising funds. The Scott campaign’s pitch mentions the vile racism that Scott has faced for being a black Republican:
Well, MSNBC political analyst Rick Tyler thinks Scott needs to put up or shut up and prove that he’s been subjected to vicious racism from Democrats and the Left:
Hey @TimScottSC, I just received a fundraising solicitation from you claiming that Dems have called you a “black traitor”. “A token”. “Uncle Tom”. I’ve not seen anyone call you those vile things. Can you cite anyone who did? Here’s the link you sent. https://t.co/whgp6Ll5gq

Ah the ‘racism doesn’t exist for black Republicans’ because I had a burrito tweet https://t.co/sa9gZa1HVO

Since Rick has apparently spent the past several years living under a rock, can anyone help him out?
Hey Rick, Ken here, @SenatorTimScott‘s former spox. Here’s just 1 example via Twitter. Plenty more if you simply google search. The last thing we all need is a white guy telling a Black senator that he’s not been a victim of racism.

And that’s just scratching the surface.
Willful ignorance is not a defense, Rick.

The only one who came up empty here is Rick.
