Tim Scott Returns Fire After Joy Reid Calls His Vote Against Jackson ‘Barking-Dog Racism’ – Opinion

South Carolina Republican Senator Tim Scott is a “problem” for the far-left. The same goes for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and former Secretary of State Condoleeza rice.

As the twisted left sees it, Black conservatives who refuse to live on the liberal plantation where they belong must be ridiculed, dismissed, ignored — and destroyed if necessary. Joy Reid, the MSNBC host, is the best person to laughably serve as judge, jury and executioner in the race-hustling business.

This story began Monday with Scott announcing that he would not vote for the Supreme Court confirmation in favor of Ketanji brown Jackson. Scott made his announcement via a statement posted on his homepage.

The historic nature of Judge Jackson’s nomination reinforces the progress our country has made. However, ideology must be the determining factor—not identity—when considering such an important lifetime appointment.

It is clear that Judge Jackson’s judicial philosophy and positions on the defining issues of our time make her the wrong choice for the Supreme Court. With her track record of judicial activism, from her refusal to court-pack and multiple overturned decisions, it is difficult for me not to support her nomination.

It is disappointing that President Biden failed to seize the chance to unify the nation with a main stream nominee who could have enjoyed broad bipartisan support. For all these reasons, I will be voting no on Judge Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court.

[Jackson was confirmed on Thursday by the full Senate, 53-47.]

How “racist,” right? I’m kidding. Joy Reid wasn’t, but it was shockingly predictable.

In response to Scott’s decision to oppose Jackson, as reported by The Blaze, Reid claimed the senator is being “dog-walk[ed]” by fellow South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham and law enforcement, basically calling Scott a willing stooge for Graham’s “barking-dog racism.”

And in response to a random keyboard warrior who tweeted “Tim Scott haven’t [sic]Nothing achieved [sic]Since [sic]He [sic]Been [sic] in the Senate” [rolling-eyes emoji]Reid tweeted:

Here is the complete truth. It’s not surprising that Senator Tim Scott makes such a mistake. He let Lindsey Graham and the sheriffs dod-walk him and destroy police reform after pretending to work on it and now he’ll go along with Lindsey’s dog-barking racism again Jackson because: he’s Tim Scott.

The woman’s obsession with race has left her totally delusional — but you already knew that.

This is all accurate. We are not surprised at anything @SenatorTimScott does. He let @LindseyGrahamSC & the sheriffs dog-walk him and destroy police reform after pretending to work on it and now he’ll go along with Lindsey’s barking-dog racism against Judge Jackson because: he’s Tim Scott. https://t.co/exvIq90jIW

So never mind Jackson’s history of actively seeking lenient sentences — and zero minimum sentencing requirements — for convicted child porn offenders. Jackson gave a minimum sentence to Jackson for failing register as an sex offender. And by all means, never mind that Jackson ridiculously claimed she could not define “woman” because she’s “not a biologist.”

All of this is fine. It’s all good. What really matters? to the MSNBC race-hustler extraordinaire is that a Black senator voted against a Black Supreme Court nominee — itself, racist as hell.

Tim Scott being Tim Scott — and I’m talking about impeccable credentials and exemplary integrity  — fired back at Reid during a Thursday appearance on ‘Fox & Friends,” explaining why the MSNBC host’s silly blast was offensive. The Blaze transcribing:

Joy says black people cannot make decisions for themselves, so he has to tell me. That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.

It reinforces the liberal elites’ approach to minorities who will not fall in line and do what they tell us to do. Millions of Americans are black and want to make their own decisions.

However, the power and influence of the liberal elite want to make us feel like vicious dogs. They don’t want to see anyone opposing what they’re doing to steer our country in the incorrect direction.

“It is vile, it is offensive,” Scott continued, “and we should stop allowing the liberal media to push these stories by their hosts that want one thing and one thing only: progressive, liberal policies that make it harder for African-Americans — not easier.”

I cannot say “Amen” because I’m not Black. I don’t know what it feels like.

But having witnessed the exploitation of — and pandering to — Black America by the Democrat Party for the last six decades, I have a fairly good idea. The Democrats have not only failed spectacularly in their hollow promises to Black Americans; they have convinced a (dwindling) majority of Blacks that while the Democrats might not have delivered as promised, to just think how bad things would be if they weren’t in office to protect the known universe from evil “systemically-racist” Republicans.

Moreover, I have a damn good idea of what Senator Tim Scott not only believes — but also how he lives.
