The Racist Anti-Trump Crowd

For John, BLUF:  It really is past time to stop looking at skin color and to begin judging people by their character and performance.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Senator responds to being called a 'prop' during GOP tax celebration

From The Hill, by Reporter brett Samuels, 20 December 2017.

Here is the lede plus three:

Sen. Tim Scott hit back at a political blogger on Twitter who suggested the South Carolina Republican was standing near President Trump as a "prop" during the GOP's tax celebration on Wednesday.

“What a shocker," tweeted Andy Ostroy, "there’s ONE black person there and sure enough they have him standing right next to the mic like a manipulated prop.”

“Uh probably because I helped write the bill for the past year," Scott fired back, "have multiple provisions included, got multiple Senators on board over the last week and have worked on tax reform my entire time in Congress.  But if you’d rather just see my skin color, pls feel free."

Ostroy later deleted his tweet and apologized to Scott.

As well he should have.

This is a shameful thing.
