As anybody who’s acquainted with him is aware of, South Carolina senator and Republican presidential hopeful Tim Scott believes together with his whole sunken chest that “America shouldn’t be a racist nation,” regardless of all of the statistical proof that it’s. However Scott has additionally made it clear that the one purpose he believes so wholeheartedly in post-racial America is that Republicans aren’t technically a race. In the event that they had been, then Scott actually be of the opinion that Democrats have reinstated Jim Crow towards political conservatives and have ordered legislation enforcement to show the hearth hoses and canines on members of the GOP who solely wish to drink from the identical water fountains as everybody else.

And in case any of you assume I’m being hyperbolic about Scott’s perception {that a} Republican reconstruction period is underway, right here’s what he stated earlier this 12 months:

“Pay attention, I perceive the way it feels to be handled as a second-class citizen due to the colour of my pores and skin,” Scott stated. “I refuse to be thought of a second-class citizen due to the colour of my social gathering.”

In different phrases: I skilled numerous racism in America, which positively isn’t a racist nation—except you wish to sit at a “Dems solely” diner as a Republican.

And now that commander-in-allegations-of-corruption Donald Trump is ready to be arraigned for a 37-count federal indictment, Scott is continuous his misguided narrative that America’s justice system is blind, apart from when it’s seeing crimson.

“As Individuals, now we have to have a justice system the place the girl of justice wears a blindfold,” Scott advised reporters following a marketing campaign look in Spartanburg, based on The Publish and Courier.

“What we see in the present day throughout this administration of President Joe Biden is a double normal,” he continued. “That double normal is each un-American and unacceptable. You’ll be able to’t shield Democrats whereas focusing on and looking Republicans.”

To start with, what’s Scott even speaking about? What does Trump’s indictment must do with defending Democrats? What double normal? Is there a Democrat someplace who’s stockpiling categorized paperwork of their rest room and is being ignored by the feds? And seeing as Trump is actually the primary ex-president ever to face federal felony fees, based mostly on what’s Scott implying that this type of factor solely occurs to the GOP below democratic management?

However Scott is aware of he’ll by no means be challenged to reply any of the above questions by his personal constituents or social gathering members. He is aware of Republicans’ favourite political technique, particularly within the post-Trump period, is to only say something that sounds good to right-wingers who don’t know something. So, in fact, one shouldn’t count on Scott to offer some other examples of Republican leaders who’ve been focused and hunted by the Biden administration, simply as he has but to again his quite a few claims that Republicans are systematically being despatched to the again of the bus.

Scott went on to inform reporters that as president he would restore religion within the Justice Division “so that each single American might trust that they are going to be handled the identical, irrespective of your colour and irrespective of your partisan affiliation.”

So, principally, we’re presupposed to trust that an individual who doesn’t assume America is racist will do one thing in regards to the racist justice system in America, whereas additionally defending Republicans towards systemic discrimination that doesn’t exist.

Bought it.
