Last night on Fox News' Hannity, Republican Senator Tim Scott responded to North Carolina NAACP Leader William Barber after he doubled down on comments he made calling Scott a "dummy." Fox News Contributor, radio host and tea party leader David Webb traveled to North Carolina over the weekend to confront Barber, who refused to apologize. In addition, supporters of Barber laughed out loud at the idea Barber's comments were inappropriate. National leaders at the NAACP have refused to comment, despite Scott being the first African-American Senator since Reconstruction.

Now why can't Sen. Scott stop being such an uppity "rebellious Negro" and appreciate all the progressives are trying to do for his people? /s

[Gaffer]

By DoJ edict, policy and practice, someone who is black cannot possibly be a bigot.

I thought Mass. had a Senator of color who was schtupping Barbra WaWa.

Heavens to Mergatroid. That's like expecting a pig to stop stinking.

Little Billy Barber just can’t understand why any African-American in his right mind would want to wander off the DNC plantation provided for them by the rich, white boy DemocRATS.

[Paine in the Neck]

Yes. Ed Brooke.

[Texas Eagle]

Scott being the first African-American Senator since Reconstruction.

Let me guess. THAT Senator was a DemocRAT.

[MuttTheHoople]

William Barber is an Uncle Tom, Stepin’ Fetchit, tap-dancin’ minstrel on the Democrat Plantation.

[dragonblustar]

William Barber is a reverend and he refused to apologize to Scott?

[ClearCase_guy]

A lot of black reverends are not actually Christians. They are just agitators.

> Scott being the first African-American Senator since Reconstruction.

Not true.

Senator Edmund Brooke of Massachusetts.

[Westbrook]

> Let me guess. THAT Senator was a DemocRAT.

Nope.

Like Martin Luther King, he was a Republican.

[Paladin2]

Isn’t that an inconvenient truth?

[P-Marlowe]

despite Scott being the first African-American Senator since Reconstruction.

Somebody forgot to fact check this article.

Maybe the first "Republican" African American Senator since Reconstruction.

[IFly4Him]

Unless she meant in SC only - but you’re right: Brooke, Carol Mostly Fraud and Obama also...

[Westbrook]

> Carol Mostly Fraud and Obama also...

Yeah, I forgot about those.

Selective memory.

You're dating yourself Texas Eagle. Now I'll exit, stage left...

[Georgia Girl 2]

Can’t let too many get off the plantation.

Edward William Brooke III (born October 26, 1919) is an American Republican politician, in 1966 being the first African American popularly elected to the United States Senate. He was the only person of African heritage sent to the Senate in the 20th century until Democrat Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois in 1993, and the only African-American Senator to serve multiple terms.

He was elected to the Senate as a Republican from Massachusetts, defeating his Democratic opponent, former Massachusetts governor Endicott Peabody in a landslide.

>>You’re dating yourself

I think that’s still okay unless it proceeds to matrimony.
