Sen. Tim Scott Defends Trump Endorsement, Claims Trump "Did More for Minorities" Than Biden

Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), the only Black Republican in the Senate, defended his recent endorsement of former President Donald Trump, asserting that Trump "did more for minorities than Joe Biden…will ever do." Scott's endorsement has drawn criticism, given Trump's controversial remarks on race during his presidency.

 

During an interview with Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham, Scott highlighted Trump's support for historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), emphasizing that Trump allocated more funding to HBCUs than any other president. In 2019, Trump signed a bipartisan bill providing over $250 million annually to HBCUs, expressing his commitment to supporting these institutions.

 

Scott also praised Trump's efforts on the economy, unemployment, and addressing sickle cell anemia, a blood disorder disproportionately affecting the Black population. He contended that Trump's policies benefited people of all races.

 

The senator's endorsement occurred at a Trump rally in New Hampshire, where he appeared onstage with the former president after his primary victory over former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Trump jokingly commented on Scott's support, saying, "You must really hate her," to which Scott responded with laughter, stating, "I just love you!"

 

The endorsement and the onstage interaction between Scott and Trump drew criticism from the Rev. Al Sharpton, who described Scott's rhetoric as "humiliating." Sharpton acknowledged Scott's right to be a Republican but expressed concern about the manner in which he endorsed Trump.

 

Scott's endorsement reflects the broader dynamics within the Republican Party, where divisions exist over allegiance to Trump. While some Republicans embrace Trump's influence, others remain critical of his controversial statements and policies, particularly on issues related to race.

The lefties will hate this.:laugh:   "How dare a black man support Trump, that isn't what they are supposed to do. How impertinent, don't they know their place in society?"

 

Cue lots of Uncle Tom insults and "superficially black" descriptions.

Maybe Biden can have a word with Tim and put him straight? After all, he knows what it means to be a black man.

You can disagree with his assessment, that is fine. 

 

However, to label him an "Uncle Tom" because of his political beliefs is a very nasty and uneducated thing to do. Moreover, it is extremely offensive to many black people as shown in the link below.

 

You may believe you have the right to decide which box black people belong in, what political beliefs they should hold, but they have as much right to suppport Trump as anyone else and should not be subject to insults based on their race as a result.

Perhaps quisling would be a more accurate representation on account of trump’s comments of immigrants tainting the blood his wanting to build massive camps and his desire of massive deportations…….senator Scott is from a Deep South state he’s an obvious survivor and knows how to play the game to survive that being said most folks find it kinda uncomfortable watching him fawn over such a deeply flawed individual as citizen trump sad but not surprising
