FOX News reports that Senator Tim Scott was not invited to speak at MLK celebration.

So, if they didn't ask a Republican black Senator to the event, why would anyone else want to go?? That seemed to be what they were saying.

The leadership of the Party and the two living Republican ex-presidents were asked but all refused. But Tim Scott was not asked.

Sounds like FOX is attempting to cover Republican asses by using Tim Scott, an African-American, as an excuse for the rest of their Party?

FOX never mentioned if any Republicans asked to speak at the event.

The other day, they showed a sterotypical, over-weight black woman talking about getting her "free phones" from Obama. It was in context to nothing. It was just racist.
