Sen. Tim Scott Writes A Beautiful Tribute To MLK, Liberals Call Him An ‘Uncle Tom’ And A…Racist???

Today is MLK Day. I’ve seen a lot of beautiful tributes to Dr. King, but there’s something extra special about Sen. Tim Scott’s.

Dr. King – I was just two years old when you were tragically killed in April 1968. You were born in the same decade as my grandfather, another black man born in the Jim Crow South. #ThankYouMLK50

But even though you were stolen from this world too young, your legacy endures. The change we have seen since you and my grandfather were born in the 1920s, not just in the South but across the country, has been massive. #ThankYouMLK50

There are obvious ways, such as the end of Jim Crow laws and the Civil Rights Act, but also ways we perhaps do not think about…ways your legacy has endured, even through tragedy. #ThankYouMLK50

When nine parishioners were killed at Mother Emanuel in 2015, the killer sought a race war. Perhaps at some point in our nation’s history, his plan would have worked. But not now. We are stronger from your teachings, more unified by your passion, & fortified by your words.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” The Charleston shooter failed, and as the families of those killed stood with such grace and righteousness, your legacy shone as bright as ever. #ThankYouMLK50

— Tim Scott (@SenatorTimScott) January 15, 2018

So while we certainly still have much work to do, we continue to step forward. Sometimes imperceptibly so, sometimes in a leap, but forward nonetheless. #ThankYouMLK50

— Tim Scott (@SenatorTimScott) January 15, 2018

#ThankYouMLK50, for your passion, your strength, your unending quest for justice, your blood, sweat and tears, your ultimate sacrifice, and for being someone who truly left the world a better place than when they entered it.

— Tim Scott (@SenatorTimScott) January 15, 2018

While we honor you today, your memory is imprinted on the fabric of our nation every single day. For every child of color who dreams of a brighter future and every American who works to strengthen our foundations, #ThankYouMLK50

It’s such a powerful and sweet tribute. Leave it to bitter partisan hacks to attack Sen. Scott for being a… REPUBLICAN. Clearly, he’s a total traitor and not actually grateful for MLK’s sacrifice.

You want to honor MLK then quit the Republican Party.

Yet you don't speak out against trump. Mlk jr would be ASHAMED of you.

Does Dr. King have a Twitter account? Fabulous virtue signalling without even giving honour to MLK. Typical politician… me, me, me.

— Andrew Butterworth (@AGButterworth) January 15, 2018

Um…what? What about this was about HIM? This is CLEARLY a tribute to MLK.

No one in today’s republican party, whose accepted leader is trump, should think they honor MLK with that association.

— d. jons (@dpjonestown) January 15, 2018

You dishonor him everyday day by defending and supporting the ugliest, hateful man in the WH

— truthbetold (@flatoutfunny) January 15, 2018

…And now you support a racist…

— Shawn Williams (@ShawnsBlog1673) January 15, 2018

MLK was a great man, wish I could have say the same about you

— Will Moorer (@MoorerWill) January 15, 2018

And you joined a party that's doing its best to suppress the vote of black of black folk.Whose AG want to incarcerate more black folk,whose leader,with no sense of history,speaks of shithole https://t.co/s0ht2E7c99 sir are part of the problem.

No one is trying to “suppress” any vote, but thanks for continuing to push that blatantly false narrative.

So are you doing for sc black. So what you think of shithall president nothing from you. November can’t come soon enough Uncle Tom you will be in the minority’s

— Edward (@Edward234howel) January 15, 2018

This is truly vile. Democrats are disgusting.

Spineless traitor.

— NANCYC (@Kailee631) January 15, 2018

This tweet takes the cake.

I would hope you would have denounced the racist statements made my our racist-in-chief. Perhaps in your heart, you are also a racist of a different kind. We are in SC, racism still seems to be a popular thing. #resignTimScott

Wait..Scott is racist…against black people…? THE MAN IS BLACK.

I wish I could say that I’m surprised by these reactions, but I’m not. The Democratic Party is the party of intolerance. If you’re black, you must say what they say and believe what they believe. If you are Hispanic, you must say what they say and believe what they believe. If you’re a woman, you must say what they say and believe what they believe. Otherwise, you’re a traitor. You’re not capable of figuring out your own thoughts and positions. You’re nothing without them. So much for empowerment, eh?

If you walk off the progressive thought plantation, prepare for the worst. They’ll come after you and tear you apart.

Because tolerance. You know.
