.@SenatorTimScott said he would support Trump while former Trump staff and officials were actually trying to stop him. We have said a lot about Manchin and Sinema, but we need to call out Scott, a southern Black man who benefited from the VRA and the fight for voting rights.
Scott refuses to support fixing the Voting Rights Act and to support the For The People Act written by John Lewis.
He is the worst kind of hypocrite. He benefits from the suffering of those before him and then joins the forces of oppression. He hangs onto Trump like Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson) in “Django Unchained.”
For instance, look at what Tim Scott said about John Lewis when he died: “One of the great honors of my life was co-chairing the trip to Selma and the Edmund Pettus Bridge with John, on the anniversary of Bloody Sunday.
“He was a giant among men; his life and legacy will continue to serve as an example for the generations to come.
“I am encouraged by his courage, determination, and perseverance, characteristics that we can all try to emulate—especially in the wake of current events.
“I am encouraged by his courage, determination, and perseverance, characteristics that we can all try to emulate—especially in the wake of current events.
“My prayers are with the Lewis family during this time.”
But now Scott is against the very bill that emulates what John Lewis stood for.

Black or white, these Republicans and so-called “moderates” like Sinema and Manchin have an ability to lie and posture in a way that can only be rivaled by a street con artist, and maybe not even then.
