A few days ago, Fuzzy Slippers wrote about a Texas Democratic party official named Gary O’Connor, who used a racial slur against Senator Tim Scott following his powerful response to Biden's first speech to Congress. Some high-ranking Republicans, including Texas Governor Greg Abbott, called on O’Connor to resign. Surprisingly, he did.

Out of all the things Washington Post "fact-checker" Glenn Kessler to fact-check he chose Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott's grandfather. Kessler chose to fact-check the only black Republican senator's grandfather's history. Totally not a coincidence Kessler's piece comes out the day after Scott was chosen to deliver the Republican rebuttal to President Joe Biden's State of the Union.

Democrats are on a mission to abolish the filibuster, which they see as an obstacle to unfettered power. In their effort to turn the public against the filibuster, they are suddenly calling it racist and a relic of the Jim Crow past. If that's true, why did they use it against Senator Tim Scott's police reform bill just last spring?

On Wednesday afternoon, President Donald Trump held a news conference on the White House lawn to celebrate the tax bill's passage through Congress. A group of GOP lawmakers joined him, including Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC). Scott had a place right next to the president, which led HuffPo contributor Andy Ostroy to call him a prop used by Trump. Scott replied back that he helped write the bill and gather support for the bill. In other words, Scott's hard work is one reason why it passed.
