people by claiming 'woke supremacy is as bad as white supremacy'CNN host Don Lemon on Wednesday condemned Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina for "gaslighting" Americans by arguing that "woke supremacy is as bad as white supremacy."
"You are gaslighting people. You are giving people misinformation. What are you doing, brother? What are you doing?" Lemon went on to say. "You're not helping."
Lemon pointed out that white supremacists were among the rioters who invaded the US Capitol on January 6 and called for the murder of lawmakers. Scott is the only Black US senator in the GOP caucus.
"Were the woke supremacists carrying the Confederate battle flag in the nation's Capitol? Tim Scott? Tim!" Lemon yelled.

(182,837 posts)Okay woke is social justice for brevity. People were woke and people late at night did some stupid things and people non-white male conservative opinions are being heard as of ....oh ....last year. Obviously the historical and prevalent powers that be are under attack which means everyone not woke is under attack and in a couple of non-logical steps everything will burn while white granddaughters are going to black proms.

I guess we're enslaving or lynching them or something.

Daddy was an openly virulent racist and got a pat on the back. Sonny says the n-word and gets a punch in the mouth. IT'S NOT FAIR, he cries, clutching his jaw. WHERE'S MY MEDAL? WHERE'S MY PARADE??

Candace Owens is another one. I've seen her on people's FB pages who are racists. They use these black people to say things that they can't say openly. It's really disgusting.

(47,516 posts)though from what I can see, black voters are very well informed. They helped Biden win the nomination and unlike so many republicans, black voters are inclined to vote in their own best interests. I really don't know that much about Scott. Someone from South Carolina would probably have a better feel for what is going on in that state.

(6,699 posts)...he's so lost in his delusional glee that repuKKKes like him...(because he's an Uncle Tom...a sucker that would sell his soul to be part of the club.).
Blacks that spew the goPutin lies and attempt to gaslight fellow minorities are the lowest of the low lifes. Like the small band of French soldiers who joined the Nazis in WWII. Simply useful idiots.
scott is exactly that...a useful idiot.
