South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, sitting at a news anchor desk alongside his four Black Republican friends and colleagues from Congress, confessed his grandmother was conservative.

“She may never (have) said the word conservative. She may never (have) voted conservative but everything she taught me was conservative,” he said on his new YouTube series called “America’s Starting Five,” aimed at dissecting the narrative peddled against Black Republicans, by the five elected Black Republicans in Congress.

Never bother reading an article that capitalizes “black” but not “white”.

Tim Scott has a lifetime conservative voting record of 68% (Freedom Index). He is not conservative.

A lot of moderates and RINOs self identify as “conservative” in order to get elected. Their rhetoric doesn’t match their voting records.

Some are conservative in specific areas but overall moderate. It’s like a Democrat being pro-life and hard left on everything else. The media will call them “conservative” but their overall record is what counts.

Tim Scott is not a conservative.

Unless you are Thomas Sowell or Clarence Thomas, it means you are a political fraud!

I’ll give it s a stab - a Conservative who is Black? Probably not racist like so many flaming Black liberals are.
