Sam Stein Overlooks Tim Scott While Worrying It’ll Be ‘Another 100 Years’ Before SC Elects a Black Leader – Twitchy

Sam Stein of ‘The Bulwark’ was on one about electing Black people in the South. Apparently, he forgot Tim Scott exists. 

So who’s gonna tell them…

The left disregards Black success that doesn’t fit their narrative. https://t.co/hg3Y4fgnza

I beat Strom Thurmond’s son in a majority-white district for a seat in Congress.

Then won statewide in South Carolina, a majority white state.

South Carolina elects leaders based on ideas, not identity. Stop erasing reality to rig the game.

The reality is bigots like Sam don’t ‘count’ Tim Scott as a ‘Black’ man because he’s a Republican.

No! Not that kind of black man! The obedient ones!

Sam is obviously the kind of person who wears the hood around the house because it feels more comfortable. The ones the SPLC didn’t have to pay.

Those are the only kind of Black men the Democrats like.

Let’s not forget there are black republicans, you know like @WesleyHuntTX

This is the moment when Sam explains that black Republicans aren’t “real” black people, but Uncle Toms.

Sam will write a whole Substack on it.

“make sure that it’s not another hundred years before another black person can represent South Carolina”

So embarrassing … for Sam.

Tim Scott is literally the senator for South Carolina https://t.co/sR2K2HM1R3

“How you make sure it’s not another hundred years before another black person can represent South Carolina” – Tim Scott might have something to say about that, and the failure of that person to consider Scott’s existence says a lot. https://t.co/GnVaUytE8e

Sam Stein doesn’t have respect for Black men who are Republican.

South Carolina has a black Senator but Dems will make up whatever they want to claim the destructive idea of packing the court rests on some high principle. https://t.co/K5CIDb4Qfb

Sam Stein worries that if South Carolina redraws its maps without considering or discriminating based on race, that it may be “another hundred years” before another black person is elected. He does not note that one of SC’s two senators, Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) is black. https://t.co/kMfMkbh18A

Is he quoting Lauren Egan, author of this piece? If so, she’s an idiot for overlooking Tim Scott. Or the person being quoted is an idiot for that. And Stein is, too, for not picking up on it, either. https://t.co/fqRhiIuDqB

Idiots abound.
