Tim Scott on KBJ Opposition: ‘Joy Reid Is Saying a Black Man Cannot Think for Himself’

Thursday on FNC’s Fox & Friends, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) responded to criticism he has received for his opposition to the confirmation of soft-on-crime Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court.

MSNBC’s racist propagandist host Joy Reid slammed Scott earlier this week for following Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) “barking-dog racism” to oppose Jackson.

“What is so offensive about what Joy is saying is that a black man cannot think for himself; I have to follow somebody else,” Scott exclaimed. “That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard, but it reinforces the liberal elites’ approach to minorities who will not fall in line and do what they tell us to do.”

“There are millions of Americans who happen to be black, who want to think for themselves, who will think for themselves, but the power of the liberal elite wants to attack us like vicious dogs because they do not want anyone standing up opposed to what they are doing and leading our country in the wrong direction,” he added. “It is vile, it is offensive, and we should stop allowing the liberal media to push stories by their hosts that want one thing and one thing only — progressive, liberal policies that make it harder for African Americans — not easier.”
