At this level, it couldn’t be extra abundantly clear that if the Sunken Place has a deeper sunken place inside itself, that’s the place South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott resides.

Scott not too long ago made an look on CNN so he might proceed his pity get together tour on behalf of Donald Trump and the 34 felonies he was discovered responsible of on the finish of his hush cash trial in New York. In keeping with the Grio, Scott joined the refrain line of indignant MAGA minions who declare Trump’s prosecution was about politics, not the regulation. Scott claimed the costs of falsifying enterprise information had been “the weaponization of the justice system” by President Joe Biden, regardless of the obtrusive proven fact that neither Biden nor his administration have something to do with fees introduced on anybody by the workplace of Manhattan District Legal professional Alvin Bragg.

However Scott’s fact-averse diatribe didn’t finish there. He additionally continued his stale, whitey-pleasing narrative that “America will not be a racist nation” and that the true discrimination is being leveled in opposition to Republicans.

“The rationale why we’re seeing so many African Individuals coming to the Trump marketing campaign — two large causes: jobs and justice,” Scott informed CNN host Phil Mattingly. “I’ll say merely, as an African American born and raised within the Deep South who had issues about our justice system because it pertains to race, I’m now seeing it play out from a partisan perspective. It’s not as a lot Black and white as it’s crimson and blue.”

Riiiiight.

Let’s begin with the truth that it’s unfaithful that there was something greater than a slight uptick in “African Individuals” who’re “coming to the Trump marketing campaign.”

From the Grio:

Polling reveals that almost all African American voters nonetheless assist the Democratic Get together. In keeping with the Pew Analysis Heart, a majority of Black voters — 83% — lean Democratic. Pew’s polling additionally reveals that 72% of Black voters say Trump was a “poor or horrible president.”

Whereas we’re right here, let’s get into Scott and the remainder of the MAGA GOP’s false assertion that Trump was prosecuted for crimes nobody is often prosecuted for, which supposedly proves the prosecution was political.

From NewsOne:

Final yr, Simply Safety posted a 24-page survey detailing dozens of New York prosecutions during the last decade for falsifying enterprise information within the first diploma, which was the highest cost leveled in opposition to Trump. In keeping with NBC New York, “Information from the New York Division of Legal Justice Providers present 10 years in the past, 101 individuals had been arrested in New York Metropolis in instances the place the highest cost was falsification of enterprise information.”

In 2022, solely 39 individuals confronted that high cost, however the truth that none of these individuals had been named Donald Trump nonetheless signifies he wasn’t given a custom-made cost that solely he might catch. Now, to be truthful, prosecutions for falsifying enterprise information did improve by lots when Manhattan District Legal professional Alvin Bragg took workplace, however that doesn’t assist Republicans’ “solely Trump” narrative since that improve additionally didn’t embrace defendants named Donald Trump.

NBC additionally reported that in “Bragg’s first 15 months as DA, his crew filed 166 felony counts for falsifying enterprise information in opposition to 34 individuals or firms.” Once more, none of these people or enterprise had been beared the identify Trump. In reality, the one didfference between Trump and people different defendants is that when these different defendants had been charged with related crimes, Republicans didn’t care.

So far as Scott’s wannabe-white nonsense concerning how the division in America is “not as a lot Black and white as it’s crimson and blue,” he has been on that shuck-and-jivery since lengthy earlier than Trump was ever indicted on any crimes.

For years now, Scott has repeatedly claimed “America will not be a racist nation”—regardless of all the info that claims in any other case—whereas out of the opposite facet of his neck, he has repeatedly in contrast the therapy of Republicans to anti-Black racism, which he apparently doesn’t assume exists in any substantial approach. That is additionally the umteenth time he has in contrast Trump’s trial to anti-Black injustice within the court docket system, which, once more, he doesn’t actually imagine exists.

It’s unclear why Scott is even bothering to fake he has ever publicly “had issues about our justice system because it pertains to race,” however it’s clear that the one Black Republican within the U.S. Senate—and the one one to characterize South Carolina within the state’s historical past (nothing racist about that although, proper?)—has devoted himself to loving up on Trump, absolving America of its white supremacist methods, and making Republicans the brand new N-words.

Sure, Scott is delusional. No, he doesn’t deal in info. Sure, white conservatives love him for it—and that is perhaps the purpose.
