On Saturday morning, Tiffany Cross placed on show the hatred towards black conservatives that’s tolerated by the liberal media because the MSNBC host gave a commentary aiming extra offensive phrases at Republican Senator Tim Scott than she would have ever publicly used towards any white conservative.
Scott was known as a “clown,” a “stone idiot,’ a “faucet dancer,” a “token,” and somebody who has a “hole” house inside his head. She additionally dismissed him as “somebody Harriet Tubman would have left behind,” and derided different black conservatives as “slow-witted victims of Stockholm syndrome.”
Cross preceded her commentary with a soundbite of Michael Herriot, a author for the race-obsessed The Root, during which he rhetorically requested if there was any establishment the place there’s not racial discrimination. The MSNBC host then took goal at Senator Scott as she responded:
Such an excellent query from my good friend, The Root‘s Michael Harriot, and I even have a solution — the hole establishment that resides inside Republican Senator Ted Scott’s head. No racism there. And apparently no sense, both. This week, the sole black Republican within the Senate sounded a stone idiot when he stated this.
After a clip of the Republican Senator asserting that “America shouldn’t be a racist nation,” Cross confirmed a picture of a number of black conservatives — together with Candace Owens and Katrina Pierson — and declared:
Okay, let’s be clear. Tim Scott doesn’t signify any constituency apart from the small variety of sleepy, slow-witted victims of Stockholm syndrome who get elevated to prominence for repeating a false narrative about this nation that makes conservative white folks really feel comfy.
She quickly derided Scott as a “faucet dancer” as she complained about Senate Minority Chief Mitch McConnell attempting to take away the slavery-obsessed 1619 Undertaking’s inclusion in main training:
Simply this week, Senate Minority Chief Mitch McConnell requested Training Secretary Miguel Cardona to begin scrapping the 1619 Undertaking in colleges as a result of it will reorient the view of American historical past. Fortunate for McConnell, he has his personal faucet dancer to attempt to reorient the view of America for him.
After suggesting that the South Carolina Republican didn’t actually consider what he was saying about race, she added:
And, furthermore, a lesson I’ve discovered is: Do not argue with folks Harriet Tubman would have left behind. And, certain, Tim Scott has spoken out about his encounters with legislation enforcement, and he co-sponsored the anti-lynching invoice within the Senate, however there are two sides to each token, so thirsty for white approval, this dude really stood on the nationwide stage to defend the voter suppression legislation in Georgia although, as of final month, 361 payments had been being launched in 47 states to maintain individuals who appear like him out of the poll field.
Cross derided Scott as a “token” who’s “thirsty for white approval,” and somebody that Harriet Tubman “would have left behind,” after which dismissed the Republican Senator as a “clown,” mocking one in all his optimistic political slogans:
The power to disgrace the ancestors and appease the oppressors multi functional speech, that is excessive — although not fairly just like the home violent extremism that the Division of Homeland Safety is investigating inside its personal ranks, thoughts you. However, please, Senator, say extra about how un-racist the nation is when you check out that drained line about going from cotton to Congress to clown.

MICHAEL HARRIOT, THE ROOT: Can anybody identify a political, financial or social establishment in America the place widespread disparities and discrimination doesn’t exist? Don’t be concerned — I am going to wait.
TIFFANY CROSS: Such an excellent query from my good friend, The Root‘s Michael Harriot, and I even have a solution — the hole establishment that resides inside Republican Senator Ted Scott’s head. No racism there. And apparently no sense, both. This week, the sole black Republican within the Senate sounded a stone idiot when he stated this.
SENATOR TIM SCOTT (R-SC): Hear me clearly — America shouldn’t be a racist nation.
CROSS: Okay, let’s be clear. Tim Scott doesn’t signify any constituency apart from the small variety of sleepy, slow-witted victims of Stockholm syndrome who get elevated to prominence for repeating a false narrative about this nation that makes conservative white folks really feel comfy. As a result of if you communicate an uncomfortable fact — like Nikole Hannah-Jones — the social gathering that Scott claims shouldn’t be racist will get large mad and tries to silence you.
Simply this week, Senate Minority Chief Mitch McConnell requested Training Secretary Miguel Cardona to begin scrapping the 1619 Undertaking in colleges as a result of it will reorient the view of American historical past. Fortunate for McConnell, he has his personal faucet dancer to attempt to reorient the view of America for him. There have been so many contradictions within the Senator’s speech that it was clear not even Scott believed the phrases he was talking. I might go into nice element refuting every of his asinine factors, however he did that for me.
And, furthermore, a lesson I’ve discovered is: Do not argue with folks Harriet Tubman would have left behind. And, certain, Tim Scott has spoken out about his encounters with legislation enforcement, and he co-sponsored the anti-lynching invoice within the Senate, however there are two sides to each token, so thirsty for white approval, this dude really stood on the nationwide stage to defend the voter suppression legislation in Georgia although, as of final month, 361 payments had been being launched in 47 states to maintain individuals who appear like him out of the poll field.
The power to disgrace the ancestors and appease the oppressors multi functional speech, that is excessive — although not fairly just like the home violent extremism that the Division of Homeland Safety is investigating inside its personal ranks, thoughts you. However, please, Senator, say extra about how un-racist the nation is when you check out that drained line about going from cotton to Congress to clown.
Maybe this was merely Tim Scott’s audition to be Sam Jackson’s understudy within the movie Django as a result of, as a descendant of the enslaved and damned close to survivor of institutional racism, I can guarantee you, the query, “Is America a racist nation?” is one which has been requested and answered many instances over. But, we nonetheless love America not for what it was, however what it may very well be. On this one, you are not solely on the incorrect aspect of the aisle, Senator Tim Scott, however you are embarrassingly on the incorrect aspect of historical past as properly.
