On Monday, Tim Scott, the junior Senator from South Carolina, announced his candidacy for President. By Thursday, the hosts of The View were claiming he was a Clarence Thomas-like Republican that did not understand systemic racism.
The comments were made by Joy Behar, a white woman on the left telling a black man how he should be thinking and feeling. The View often represents the Left, and they made it clear their stance was that black Republicans are not black enough for their judgments.
Behar was quoted, “He’s one of these guys who, you know, he’s like Clarence Thomas. Black Republican who believes in pulling yourself by your bootstraps, rather than, to me, understanding the systemic racism that African Americans face in this country, and other minorities. He doesn’t get it. Neither does Clarence. And that’s why they’re Republicans.”
