‘Proud leftist racists’ resort to ‘racial slurs’ to attack black Republican senator

Senator Tim Scott felt the full wrath of the left-wing media, academia and political class who resorted to “racial slurs” in their desperation to prove the African American politician wrong, according to Sky News host Rita Panahi. Mr Scott delivered the Republican response to President Joe Biden’s first address to Congress and argued that instances of racism do not amount to systematic racism or make the country racist. In the aftermath of his speech “Uncle Tim” trended for hours on Twitter, and CNN, MSNBC and CBS went into “attack mode”, Ms Panahi said. “If you're a conservative woman or conservative minority you will be attacked often with sexist and racist language to bully you into silence,” she said. “In 2021 the only systematic racism is from the left who push critical race theory, a poisonous, intellectually bankrupt doctrine that amounts to state-enforced racism. “The very people who claim the west is institutionally racist are trying to institute racism into schools and workplaces.” According to Ms Panahi, mockery of Mr Scott is about sending a message to other African American people to expect similar treatment if they “deviate from the leftist groupthink”.
